THE PAYOFF

Why Sarasota Is Great for Team Building

The practical reasons Sarasota works when you need to get a team together.

Request a Quote
  1. Easy to Get Everyone There

    Sarasota-Bradenton International (SRQ) handled 4.5 million passengers last year, so flying teammates in from around the region or out of state is simple.

  2. Works Any Time of Year

    Myakka River State Park’s pavilions and open acreage handle it outdoors. The Van Wezel’s foyer and auditorium space cover it indoors. Nothing here is seasonal.

  3. Venues for Any Group Size

    Marie Selby Botanical Gardens hosts private events and venue rentals in a garden setting. The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota can flex up to 60,000 square feet of event space for a full-company gathering.

  4. A Place You Can Actually Walk

    Siesta Key Village and the shops and galleries around it make a solid loop for a scavenger hunt or walking challenge.

  5. Somewhere to Celebrate After

    St. Armands Circle’s shops and restaurants make for an easy wind-down once the event wraps.

Customer Success Stories & Team Building Case Studies

Real results from real teams. Here is how Outback has helped companies build stronger cultures.

Finance 50+ people Virtual

BMO Bank of Montreal

BMO brought more than 50 employees together for a virtual event to reconnect a team that had grown distant. People were hesitant at first, but the format broke the ice fast and pulled everyone in. By the end, coworkers who rarely spoke were laughing and working together, and leadership had nothing but good things to say.

Technology Distributed team Virtual

Cisco

Cisco wanted to build real connection across a large team spread over several time zones. We ran a fully hosted virtual escape room that gave everyone a shared problem to solve. The energy was there right away, with people working the puzzle and celebrating together instead of feeling like a screen full of strangers.

Retail Company-wide In-Person

Loblaws

Loblaws wanted team building that would also give back. Through an Outback Cares charity event, employees worked side by side to assemble donations and raised $18,000 for a local cause. Morale went up as teams worked toward something that mattered, and the company made a real impact in the community.

Intact Financial Corporation – Team Pursuit 2.0 – Gatineau

Impressive and Inspiring!

Our team thoroughly enjoyed participating in both the Team Pursuit 2.0 and the Clue Murder Mystery activities. It was particularly gratifying to witness members from different teams—many meeting for the first time—come together and truly collaborate to tackle the challenges presented. The level of teamwork and communication required was impressive and inspiring.

Our team would highly recommend Outback Team Building & Training to any group seeking to enhance their collaborative experience.
