  • I'm Sophie.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • Sophie, did you go to the corporate away day last week?

  • Yes, you didn't miss anything.

  • A team-building guru lectured us on how to work more effectively with each other.

  • We gave some presentations, had a few drinks after.

  • Right, OK, and away day is a day that employees spend together away from their usual workplace.

  • And a guru is an expert in something.

  • So, did this guru teach you anything new, Sophie?

  • No, not really.

  • Ah, shame.

  • I was hoping for some tips on how to work more effectively with my co-presenter.

  • I think you work very effectively already, Neil.

  • Now, today's show is about team-building,

  • or encouraging employees to work well together as a team by getting them to engage in different types of activities.

  • And apparently, some companies in the UK are offering their employees activities such as Hunger Games-style combat days,

  • where teams must work together to kill as many of the opposing team as possible.
