Organise your company retreat

Organising a company retreat is also a great way to show your employees that you value their well-being and that you’re invested in their development.

Retreats are the ideal space to:

• - Promote collaboration and problem-solving skills amongst departments;
• - Get everyone on the same page about new initiatives;
• - Stimulate innovative thinking to brainstorm new ideas;
• - Reinforce company culture;
• - Build trust and create a sense of community;
• - Develop new skills;
• - Address issues from the bottom up, head-on;
• Reward employees for their hard work.

• Set the purpose and goals of the retreat in advance and communicate these to all delegates;
• Choose the right location, as it plays an important role in creating the right atmosphere for a retreat. Additionally, the location you choose needs to be close to major transport hubs and readily accessible;
• Make sure the facilities at the location are up to standards and can accommodate all your needs;
• Plan activities that will promote team building and bonding;
• Make sure to allow time for relaxed socialising and recreation.

Retreat activities allow team members to connect and learn from one another. When chosen carefully, these activities can help to improve your team’s communication skills, teamwork skills, and conflict resolution skills.

Team-building

Working together to solve puzzles and riddles is an interactive way to encourage collaboration between teams. An escape room challenge is the perfect activity to test your teamwork as you race against the clock to find clues and unlock the door to freedom. Other team-building activities like bridge building (two teams must build two halves of a cardboard bridge separately), cooking classes, and paintball are great options.

Reconnect with the great outdoors

Retreating to the wilderness for a digital detox is a fantastic way to reset after a hectic period at work. You can get back to nature in many different ways, from easy hikes to more challenging treks. If you want to go all out, you could even try whitewater rafting or canyoning, or take on a zipline or ropes course.

Unwind and relax

After a long day of exploring or learning something new, it’s important to allocate some time for your team members to relax. This is where spa treatments, karaoke, art classes, and other luxury amenities come in handy.

Create some healthy competition

Healthy competition is a great way to get people bonding and working together. It also happens to be a whole lot of fun. There are a plethora of competitive activities, from traditional sports-oriented games to more unusual options like scavenger hunts.
