“Alone we can do so little; together, we can do so much.” – Hellen Keller.
A group of people getting the job done and the group doing the whole job together are two completely different pictures. If you’re running an organisation, you obviously know that teamwork is essential for overcoming crunch situations. You want your staff to work as a team. What you need is a team-building strategy. Think out-of-the-box; think a team retreat to Devon (Devonshire).
Rustics to the Rescue:
Commonplace corporate breaks mostly include conferences and drinks or a whole troupe dine-out. Leave all that behind. Your ideas should be along the lines of a proper time-out from work, not more of the same.
Take your staff over to fresh and serene Devonshire. Locations for accommodation should not be a problem at all. Your overall head count will play a huge part though. A proper suggestion –
Pre-book!
If you’re looking to make the best of it though, you can check some standalone manor houses there as properly luxurious venues. (Miser!)
Why Devonshire?
Forget uptight gala dinners and conference speeches. How about some archery and horse-riding? (Or Both?!)
These are the kinds of activities which can wind back monotony, bring out the cackles and break the shackles. Try your hand, shoot a couple of arrows. (Practice a bit before though. You don’t want to miss the target in front of your staff, do you?)
Or maybe, foraging in the woods, digging up mushrooms, pheasant-hunts, fishing, berry-hunting? These are just the kind of staff retreat activities which they’ll utterly enjoy. What’s more important is, you get your end of things as well.
The Teamwork Agenda:
Don’t stick to the normal groups.
Mix and match across them, even across departments. Create groups of different individuals. Getting the accommodation right is vital; you don’t want squabbles for sure. Put the newest faces in the easiest going groups and vice versa. Make sure that each member engages in tasks which they can perform freely and naturally.
Bonding is obvious and it will reflect on the office floor too. Here’s your team ready to work for you!
