The 5 signs your team needs a company outing

You can probably feel it already: sometimes work just becomes routine. But how do you know when it’s really time for something different and to get to know your colleagues in a new way? If you recognize one or more of the signs below, it’s time for a company outing at Aloha Amsterdam.

1. The atmosphere feels a bit flat

Colleagues only communicate via email or chat, coffee breaks are a thing of the past, and conversations don’t go beyond Excel sheets and deadlines. That’s exactly when an evening of bowling or laser tag – without bad coffee – can help break the routine and bring new energy to the team. Trust us, it never hurts.

2. Inspiration is hard to find

When projects feel dull, ideas don’t flow, and everyone is just “doing their job,” your team may need a reset. A fun and relaxing activity – like glow-in-the-dark mini golf, karaoke, or VR – can reduce stress, refresh minds, and bring in a breath of fresh air. And that often leads to new inspiration.

3. Your team has many new faces who don’t know each other yet

New hires, merged teams, or colleagues who barely know one another? A shared activity at Aloha – think laser tag or bowling – is the perfect way to connect outside of deadlines and daily tasks. Turns out that one colleague isn’t so boring after all.

4. No time to catch up – not even at the coffee machine?

If schedules are packed, breaks are short, and everyone rushes off right after work, your team is missing those essential social moments. Aloha offers that space: time to relax, laugh, and experience something together – strengthening team bonds and giving you fresh topics for the coffee corner.

5. Stress levels high? Time to blow off some steam

Deadlines, responsibilities, pressure – it adds up fast. That’s when it’s important to step out of the rat race together, take a breather, and simply unwind. In other words: the bowling lanes are calling. An active outing with tasty bites, cocktails, and a bit of silliness is exactly what your team needs.

At Aloha Amsterdam, we bring together all the ingredients for a much-needed company outing: awesome indoor activities, a tropical vibe, great drinks – all in the heart of Amsterdam.
