Over the past decade many Fortune 1000 firms including: Amgen Corporation, Akzo Nobel, Air Products, Brake Check, BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon-Mobil, The Leather Center, Southwest Airlines, PPG, Odfjell, Shell Oil Company and United Space Alliance have engaged this firm and consistently given it high marks for designing richly informative, energy-charged events.

As a result many pace setting corporations are selecting TIMLS as their preferred training provider. A team-building organization, TIMLS is in the business of providing professionally planned and carefully executed hands-on retreats, with cost effective corporate training packages starting as low as $265 per participant. This unique one price turn key approach offers  groups all training materials, facilitators, mentor chefs, meeting rooms, a fully equipped professional kitchen, video documentation, food preparation supplies and even complimentary work aprons embroidered with company logo and chef hats to keep after the event.

 An Exciting, Action-packed, Highly Memorable Training Format! 

Houston-based companies continue to give this “day away from the office” team building experience high marks for professional content; attractive waterfront setting, memorable learning concepts and unadulterated employee fun.  

In response to the soaring ratings assigned to today’s food channel shows, TIMLS has chosen to take a leadership role in the design of “fun with a purpose” hands on company teambuilding events which center on team cooking competitions and group learning activities which build camaraderie and strengthen communications within company work groups.  This unique gustatory adventure is all about “purposeful fun” and team learning, with primary focus on strengthening group relationships, building camaraderie and providing memorable hours of close teaming and interaction with cooking tips constantly flowing from our own team of creative, award winning chefs.

 TIMLS trainers set the stage but insist on minimally supervised participant involvement, and each event attempts to be a reflection of the client’s everyday work experiences and challenges - as opposed to the traditional teaching approach of regurgitating theory to students confined in an academic setting.

 

Why Train Away from the Office?

 Many globally-placed corporations are now discovering that one of the largest challenges in today’s highly competitive world is to insure all team members move with the same sense of purpose and direction even when individual backgrounds and work experiences are decidedly unalike.  

For any company team to reach or surpass its goals it is imperative first that it define, develop and protect a common culture, and the best place to get in touch with company values, develop new business opportunities and consider new work challenges, is in a well planned company retreat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Mutual Support Pays Large Dividends

 In reviewing a corporate culture it should never be implied that employees should attempt to become blueprints of one another. Rather to the contrary. The big challenge is to find ways to use unique strengths and differences in a positive and mutually supportive way. A common culture requires constant review and maintenance as well as establishing a set of understandable company values   intended to guide all work efforts.

 Get Away from the Phones for a day!

 

We all know that defining core values and beliefs and identifying cultural imperatives is hard work and yet constitutes one of the greatest challenges for corporate leaders. It is also known that an essential for company success is being able to determine where, when and how often such organizational matters should be discussed.

 We believe one of the best places to make good things happen for a company and its people is a place tucked far away from phones and emails and the daily routines of the work place. Ours is such a place – an inviting place where our clients report they get lots of personal attention and important work done.
