Sports are a great way to bring people together. There are so many sporting spectacles taking place this summer, after the challenging last 18 months we’ve all had to some degree, now is a better time than ever to get outside and take in some sport with your colleagues, clients, family and friends. Attending sports events definitely helps to boost team morale and productivity.

If you’re wondering how you can bond with your team, or boost their productivity, then why not take yourself and your team off to attend a sporting event this summer, Sheer Edge has a brilliant selection of enjoyable events for you to still choose from.
If you’re an employer who can show you value your staff and appreciate everyone’s need for a good work / life balance, it will make for a more engaged, happier and ultimately more productive team of employees. Feeling valued goes a long way, if your staff feel appreciated and cared for, they are more likely to be productive and want to do well for you. After all, productivity is more important than presence.
Take a break, you and your team deserve it!
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.” – Nelson Mandela
