Social anxiety and low self-confidence can be significant barriers for many individuals, making it difficult to engage in social interactions and feel comfortable in group settings. This extends into the workplace and organised activities. However, unconventional methods of bringing people together like drumming in a circle have been gaining attention as a potential therapeutic tool to help individuals overcome these challenges. But does it really work? And if so, why is drumming so effective for social anxiety and boosting confidence?

We are excited to be exhibiting at International Confex 26-27th February 2025

At Drumming Team Building we see firsthand the massive impact bringing teams together has. Drumming in circle in its self has many benefits but we want to look at why Team Building in general is a really beneficial part of company culture.

Team building is crucial for companies because it directly impacts productivity, employee morale and organisational success. There is substantial research that supports the idea that effective team building activities enhance communication, foster trust and promote collaboration, all of which are essential for a thriving workplace.

Using drum circles as a team building activity is a unique and engaging approach to improving team cohesion, flattening the hierarchy and engaging all staff on all levels. Not only does it create a fun, informal environment, but it also encourages active listening, synchronisation and collective problem solving skills that directly translate into better collaboration between teams.

In today’s fast-paced corporate world, building strong connections between team members is more important than ever. Traditional team building activities often rely on workshops, retreats or seminars.

However the age old  group activity of drumming combines fun with powerful results:

The rhythmic, communal act of drumming fosters collaboration, trust and communication in ways that other activities can’t quite match

As businesses  increasingly value agility, innovation and employee wellbeing, team building remains a key strategy for driving growth, enhancing productivity and maintaining a competitive edge in the marketplace.

Investing in team building is not just a ‘nice to have’ HR add on,  it’s a strategic necessity for companies aiming for long-term success.
