The traditional in office gatherings and social mixers even when coupled with games and awards doesn’t always produce long lasting effects among the employees targeted. Much of this team building spirit is being developed off site from the corporates machine.

Savvy managers are turning to such activities as the old reliable baseball, bowling and even running as an outdoor away from the office team building activity. One of the more innovative and least stressful that is gaining in popularity and is even asked for by employees is camping. Physical prowess and skills don’t come into play quite as much as other chosen forms of group activities, in fact camping is just the opposite.

Relaxed fun, light physical activity and a no rush sense of timelessness is shared among the participants instead of competition, demonstration and showmanship that these other forms of corporate team building imply. Not to mention that a night under the crisp clear wide open skies is good for the persona even on a personal basis, but as a group this is a shared feeling that my go a lot further to promote the camaraderie and team spirit that the corporate sponsors seek more than any other venue.

These pensions were usually funded by the employer and the amount set aside every week to go into these plans was fixed. If the employer didn’t completely pay each weekly contribution, the employee usually contributed a portion up to half of the weekly payment.

That tradition has disappeared except for some union jobs and some long standing companies and utilities and some municipal jobs. The 401k plan has replaced those pension programs at most places of employment. And many employers even have matching plans that contribute dollar per dollar what you put into the fund. Employers use this as an employment enhancement when recruiting new employees.

The primary benefit of a 401k retirement plan is the favorable tax treatment it receives from the IRS. Dividend, interest, capital gains and your original wages or employer contributions are not taxed until they are paid back to you as retirement income.

By then with no other income source, you are in a lower tax bracket and pay very little compared to the taxes that would have been due on your investment income and principal weekly contributions. Its like hiding the money away until you need it and then showing it to the tax man when its better for you tax wise.
