Get to know you questions for work
fun get to know you questions for adults
This article will feature 50+ getting to know you questions for colleagues and teams at work that will help build relationships and trust!
Building relationships in the workplace can be tricky - but our ‘social hours’ like meetings, team building sessions, and events give us an opportunity to focus on getting to know one another. We can leave aside the work agenda and to-do list, and focus on our people.
At KraftyLab, we use icebreakers all the time - like get-to-know-you questions, this or that questions, trivia, and games. They help us create a comfortable work environment that is friendly and relaxed, they enhance teamwork by allowing us to know more about our colleagues, and improve communication, as we get to know each other’s communication styles and preferences. Most importantly, getting to know each other strengthens empathy and support in the workplace, as the more ‘familiar’ we are with each other, the more we think of each other as people first, and coworkers second.
As a company, taking the time out to encourage your team to build bonds will boost employee engagement and satisfaction. Your team will see that the organization values their experience and their ability to build relationships with their colleagues.
