One might think that attending a long week of
sleepover with your colleagues including your nightmarish boss might be the
worst idea ever but it doesn’t have to be that way. That office room tension
doesn’t need to reflect on your corporate retreats. When planning a company
retreat every opinion matters. With retreats you have a whole new opportunity
to interact on a personal level with your colleagues and seniors. You never
know who might find an entry to your list of close friends once you are done
with the retreat.
What sums up a perfect
corporate retreat?
When planning a retreat, one should keep in mind that
retreat is more of a connection between two co-workers and not just expensive
booze and comfy beds. The planners need to be enthusiastic and full of life to
plan a perfect getaway from the hectic office life. Devon retreat activities for youth should be planned keeping in
mind the entire team’s expectations.
1- Length of the retreat:
When deciding the length of a retreat, make sure you
plan it evenly. Work should not over power the fun time and vice versa. In a four-day
long retreat, if you are visiting a far-off place, most of the time would be
spent travelling and the rest attending seminars and conferences. Travel should
occupy the least amount of the total time so that you aren’t too tired the next
day in engaging activities. There is another catch though. A retreat too long
might make the employees too lazy to get back to work. Make sure it is neither
too long nor too short,
2- Proper scheduling:
With limited time in hand, you want to achieve the
most out of the least. Managing a large group is a tiring task, especially if
your scheduling game isn’t strong. Try to maintain a calendar that is available
to everyone two weeks in advance of the retreat so everyone is in the same page
as you. This helps everyone prepare accordingly for the getaway.
3- Activities:
Real-time connection is what a corporate retreat aims
at. Even the simplest of tasks like truth and dare can help you understand your
co-worker better. Prepare a good long list of activities that is available to
everyone. Not everyone would love archery or badminton. So, make sure you have
something for everyone in the group.
Thoughtful planning and proper execution has great
potential to produce a retreat which includes meaningful work time, variety of
activities and a lot of leisure time for you. Good food and great accommodation
facilities are a plus.
