In today's fast-paced world, companies are constantly looking for ways to improve the productivity and efficiency of their employees. One of the ways to achieve this is through leadership training programs that help employees develop their skills and become better leaders. Outdoor leadership training programs are an effective way to achieve this goal.
Outdoor leadership training programs for corporate employees involve taking employees out of the office environment and placing them in a natural setting, where they can learn and develop their leadership skills. The program typically involves a combination of physical activities, team-building exercises, and leadership workshops.

How The BIPARD Outdoor Leadership Training Program Unfolded
Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a team from the Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (BIPARD) for a six-day-long Corporate Outdoor Programme in the beautiful city of Rishikesh, also known as the Yoga Capital of the World. This program was designed to provide a much-needed break to the employees and executives who live hectic lives, with little time for self-care and wellness..
The program commenced on Day 1 with a refreshing morning yoga session. Yoga has been proven to reduce stress and improve overall well-being, which in turn enhances the creative thinking process of team members, making it a perfect way to start the program.
On Day 2, the focus was on team-building through various games and activities. The team participated in fun-filled exercises that were aimed at fostering cooperation and collaboration, which are crucial skills in any corporate setting.
Day 3 was spent in adventurous rafting and paintball games, which added a light-hearted spirit to the program. It was an opportunity for the team to take a break from their regular routine and indulge in some well-deserved fun and excitement.
On Day 4, the team went on a hiking trip to the Neel Kanth Mahadev temple. The trek was not only physically challenging but also a great way to develop resilience among team members. As they motivated each other to reach the top, the team members also built empathy and camaraderie with each other. The day ended beautifully with a serene Ganga Aarti, a traditional Hindu prayer ceremony, on the banks of the Ganges.
The last day, Day 5, was dedicated to sightseeing in and around Rishikesh. The team first visited the Tehri Dam, which is the tallest dam in India and the 12th tallest in the world. They also explored the Tehri Lake, one of the largest man-made lakes in India. The journey then continued to Dev Prayag, the holy confluence where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the Ganges. Finally, the team returned to Rishikesh, with beautiful memories and a renewed spirit.
In conclusion, this Corporate Outdoor Program was a great way for the BIPARD team to take a break from their busy lives and develop important skills that will help them in their professional careers. The program provided opportunities for team-building, adventure, and sightseeing, making it a perfect blend of work and fun. We hope that this experience has left the team feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and motivated to take on new challenges in the future.
An outdoor leadership training program can be an excellent opportunity for corporate employees to develop key skills and qualities that can benefit them both professionally and personally.
