Team Building Fun Day

Can team building activities be subsidized with FUNDAE?

Yes, but not just any activity. For a team building event to be eligible for subsidies, it must have a training component. This means it cannot be solely a recreational or leisure activity; it must include: Clear educational objectives. Structured content. Defined methodology. Evaluation or measurement of results. When these requirements are met, the team building can be considered subsidized training for companies and managed through FUNDAE as scheduled training. In other words, it’s not about “disguising” an activity, but rather designing it with a genuine educational focus: leadership, communication, conflict management, teamwork, or the development of transversal skills.

Requirements for your team building to qualify as subsidized training

Structured educational content

The action must have a defined program: syllabus, objectives, duration, and methodology. A dynamic day is not enough; there must be pedagogical planning.

Defined educational objectives

It is necessary to justify which competencies are being developed: leadership, cohesion, communication, decision-making, etc. These objectives must align with the professional improvement of the participants.

Attendance record and documentation

Attendance control is required, including participant signatures, prior communication of the course, and custody of documentation for the legally established period.

Organizing entity with regulatory knowledge

The company designing or managing the action must be familiar with the FUNDAE procedure to avoid administrative errors that could invalidate the subsidy.

How much can you subsidize? Calculation and practical examples

All companies that contribute to vocational training have an annual credit for training.

This credit depends on:

The number of employees.

The contributions made in the previous year.

The percentage of subsidy applicable based on the size of the company.

Strategic benefits: it’s not just about savings

The appeal of FUNDAE team building is not solely the savings.

Subsidizing a training action allows for:

Justifying the investment as professional development.

Aligning culture and strategy.

Improving leadership and internal communication.

Increasing commitment and talent retention.

Reducing conflicts and departmental silos.

When the design is strategic, the impact far exceeds the economic benefit.

How to manage the subsidy step by step

The process may seem complex, but if structured correctly, it is straightforward.

Verify the available credit of the company.

Design the training action with defined objectives and content.

Communicate the training to FUNDAE within the established deadlines.

Execute the training with attendance control.

Apply the subsidy in social security contributions.

Many companies do not take advantage of their credit due to lack of knowledge or fear of administrative management. However, with proper guidance, the process is entirely feasible.

Why do many companies not take advantage of this subsidy?

Despite having training credit, many organizations do not utilize it for several reasons:

They believe that team building cannot be considered training.

They think the process is complex.

They lack specialized advice.

They fear inspections or administrative errors.

The reality is that when the requirements are met and documented correctly, the subsidy is a legitimate and strategic tool.

Impactful and subsidized team building: the smart combination

A well-designed team building event is not an isolated occurrence. It is a lever for cultural transformation.

When it is also structured as subsidized training:

The real cost is reduced.

The return is maximized.

It aligns with business objectives.

The experience is professionalized.

At Teaming Labs, we design experiences that combine organizational impact and administrative viability, allowing companies to subsidize their training actions without friction.

Turn your team building into a strategic investment

Team building no longer has to be perceived as an intangible expense. When designed as scheduled training and managed correctly through FUNDAE, it becomes a strategic tool: it develops talent, strengthens culture, and reduces the real cost of the action.

Taking advantage of FUNDAE team building is not just a matter of savings. It is an intelligent decision that combines organizational impact and financial efficiency. If you want to know how much you could subsidize in your company and how to structure it correctly, we can help you analyze your case.
