Like every organisation, you want your employees to learn and grow, work collectively towards goals, and have high levels of satisfaction and morale. But your conference-room trainings, collaboration-focused webinars & e-learning courses may not always generate the results you desire.
Why? Because your employees see traditional classroom training as “work”.

Types of outbound programmes
Team Outbound Programmes
Offsites for Top Management
Your teams are composed of the best and the brightest, but individual talent is no guarantee of team success.
Teams that consistently deliver results have a few things in common:
- Working collectively towards goals
- Leveraging the strengths of every team member
- Communicating and managing conflicts with empathy and trust
Organisations are increasingly investing in team offsites, and for good reason. Outbound programmes can help teams realise their full potential, not only by creating a sense of synergy and common purpose, but also by addressing two significant threats to team effectiveness: stress and burn out.

FAQs
Outbound training programmes bring teams together through curated activities that create memorable shared experiences. From adventure activities and obstacle courses to role-playing games, corporate outbound training encourages teams to work towards collective success. Beyond team bonding, these programmes significantly improve communication, problem-solving and decision-making, employee engagement and retention, as well as creativity and innovation. Teams learn to build trust, manage conflict, reduce stress, and achieve a sense of well-being.
Top management and those in leadership positions must balance their individual business areas and simultaneously focus on overall organisational success. But steering the organisation in the right direction can be a major challenge for leaders when their everyday responsibilities take so much of their time. Leader offsites are a must for organisations keen to give their top leaders and managers an opportunity to disconnect from the everyday and focus on goal-setting, organisational strategy, decision-making, and strategic planning. Leader-focused outbound programmes are also great opportunities for leaders to celebrate wins or simply unwind.
There are umpteen outbound training companies to choose from in India. In your search for the right offsite training provider, look for the following:
Are their offsites designed specifically for your team and organisational needs? Or do they use a one-size-fits-all approach?
Do they offer detailed, practical observations and recommendations based on team performance during the offsite?
Is post-offsite support offered so your team can reinforce learnings from the offsite even after they return to business as usual?
MARG offers all of the above and more.
Whether you’re a multinational corporation, a start-up, or a non-profit organisation, our outbound training programmes can be tailored to meet your needs, from strengthening team dynamics and leadership effectiveness to boosting employee engagement.
Offsite activities vary based on several factors. In general, activities may include team building challenges, outdoor adventures, leadership simulations, and creative workshops, among others. At MARG, we carefully plan and design each activity to cater to your unique needs.
The duration of outbound programmes can vary depending on your objectives, group size, and desired outcomes. Some programmes may be spread over a single day or weekend, while others may extend over multiple days if more intensive training is required.
We typically arrange for facilitators, activity props, and meals. In certain situations, such as if an offsite involves specific adventure activities, we also assist with arranging the venue, transportation, and accommodation.
