Whatever it is, just make sure it's during business hours and not extracurricular. So glad I'm not in the corporate world anymore as I loathe contrived activities like team building.
The only one I remember thinking was cool was my boss telling all of us Friday afternoon was going to be a surprise team building activity. Turns out it was the afternoon off for everyone. That was great.
People have too many commitments and social obligations in life as is. Adding one more thing is pretty rude. Taking something off their plate would actually be appreciated (like time off so they can spend it with people they would choose to be with and not people they're already forced to be with 45 hours per week).
