Promoting workplace wellbeing should be a top priority for any business.

Did you know that many countries now engage in more and more teambuilding activities to benefit the health and wellbeing of their staff.  

A happy and content workforce will provide maximum effort and productivity for their employers, customers and other employees.

Team building has become more common in the workplace with companies spending more and more time and resources in protecting and maintaining the mental health and wellbeing of their employees.

Group Drumming and  Creative Play has become extremely popular in many environments such as HealthCare facilities, Schools and Educational groups, Community Groups and Now Corporate Teams.

A big thank you to Dave at Jabba Jabba Jembe for the fantastic African Drum Workshop we had onsite last week.
The team really enjoyed learning to play the rhythms and building on it to create a unique sound.I was delighted to see everyone relaxing after a long week of meetings, it was the perfect wind down and a great way to have some fun
Everyone enjoyed the ‘free styling’ and really got into the spirit of the event by trying out all the different instruments.
It was a fun and relaxed team building exercise – something different to try, I highly recommend it!
