Work- ing as a team not only helps employees work toward a common goal; it also fosters an environment where co- workers respect one another and function well together.

Teambuilding Activities Support the Tehama County Branding Project member’s birthday by either a card signed by everyone, a birthday cake, group gift, or simply singing Happy Birthday together. ·Volunteer for charity work as a team.
