Why Team Building Matters in 2025

According to Gallup's 2023 State of the Global Workplace report, only 23% of employees worldwide are engaged at work, while 59% are "quiet quitting," indicating a significant disconnect between employees and their organizations. Deloitte’s 2025 Human Capital Trends report echoes this, noting that leaders now rank human connection, trust, and workforce resilience among their top priorities. Read the full report.

Catalyst Global creates team building activities intentionally designed to meet these needs. Our team building activities foster real connection, strengthen collaboration, and give teams a much-needed reset, with outcomes that carry back into daily work.
