Yeah, but when starting a new project affords almost none. Should it remain like that for years?
I hate the "corporate fun" exercises as much as the next guy but without something to build trust most teams flounder.
Japananese/South Korean salaryman drinking culture (or any after work drinks culture) works well at this coz alcohol naturally makes people vulnerable. It obviously has its own problems.

- irrational 4y agoWork build trust. Trust is built as I see your work output and the effort you are putting in. I’ve never developer trust in anyone through an activity outside of work. I have come away with a worse opinion of some people as I see how they behave outside of work.

Sure, you can try it, but it won't work. What will work? Not doing anything at all beyond paying people fairly, letting people have adequate time off, setting realistic expectations and deadlines, and not constantly shuffling your organization around like it's a fantasy football team. Even if you could somehow sprinkle social fertilizer on your team and make them all besties with a sick ropes course in Provo, it is immoral to expect it. Your employees' relationships are their business, not yours.
