Team building and its Importance
Team building helps strengthen collaboration, improve communication, and boost morale — all essential for a productive work environment. For companies registered under the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRDC), team building can be claimable under the HRDC levy, provided it’s conducted by an HRDC-certified training provider.
Whether you’re organising a casual company team building retreat or a HRDC-certified program, choosing the right venue is key to a successful experience. In this article, we highlight a range of team building venues in Klang Valley — from convenient hotel team building packages to eco-friendly resorts — suitable for both casual retreats and HRDC-certified programmes.
