Playful Learning and Team Engagement: The Grupo Darling Experience with Escape Time

Investing in corporate training that is both innovative and effective can be challenging for many companies. Grupo Darling, which recently expanded by acquiring Grupo FASA and Gelnex, found a dynamic solution to integrate and strengthen its teams through immersive activities. Between December and January, we organized three events—two in Lajeado and one in Concórdia—covering everything from the IT department to various other sectors. The outcome exceeded all expectations and highlighted the benefits of a unique, collaborative learning experience.


Why Do Immersive Activities Make a Difference?

In today’s landscape, where companies increasingly seek to develop agility, communication, and collaboration among employees, traditional training methods are not always sufficient to hold attention and create long-term impact. Research from the Association for Talent Development (ATD) shows that training programs featuring gamification elements can boost participant engagement by up to 60%.

Escape Time Brasil offers escape rooms and interactive activities that place professionals in real-life problem-solving scenarios, stimulating logical reasoning, quick decision-making, and teamwork. This kind of experience not only sparks natural curiosity but also creates an immersive environment where it’s possible to quickly identify a team’s strengths and weaknesses.


Key Highlights from Grupo Darling’s Events

  1. Integration of Diverse Teams: One of the strategies involved mixing participants from different areas and locations (Lajeado and Concórdia) to solve challenges. By doing so, Grupo Darling strengthened relationships and fostered a knowledge exchange that enriched collective learning.

  2. Development of Socio-Emotional Skills: Effective communication and conflict resolution were practiced in a spontaneous way. Pressed for time and facing enigmas, participants learned quickly to listen to each other, respect different opinions, and organize their efforts collaboratively.

  3. Improvement in Organizational Climate: The playful experience reinforced a sense of belonging and motivated employees to actively participate in proposed solutions. According to a Gallup study, higher engagement and involvement in the workplace can boost productivity by up to 21%.

  4. Boost in Creativity and Innovation Capacity: Facing group challenges requires flexible thinking and the courage to take risks. This type of exercise stimulates the generation of new ideas and can serve as a starting point for creative solutions within the company.


Why Invest in Gamified Training for Your Organization?

  • Knowledge Retention: Practical activities make it easier to memorize concepts and methodologies, with retention rates far higher than those of purely lecture-based training.
  • Employee Appreciation: Offering unique experiences shows care and interest in professional development, boosting engagement and motivation.
  • Measurable Results: After the activities, you can assess areas for improvement and create targeted action plans for each team.

Conclusion

The success of the events held for Grupo Darling proves that playful and immersive learning is a powerful ally in building stronger, more collaborative, and more creative teams. If your company is looking for solutions that truly impact employees’ day-to-day work and elevate organizational performance, Escape Time Brasil can be your ideal partner.
