Corporate Retreats With Us
Your company retreat will help increase employee engagement while still ensuring your important corporate meetings are productive.
That being said, a good work retreat doesn’t feel like work. The many nooks and crannies in the property allow each staff member to choose whether they’d like to socialize with the group or sneak off for a quiet evening.
The stunning views at this property will have your company talking about your conference all year long!
How To Plan For Your Corporate Retreat
Corporate Retreats can take a lot of time and planning. You need to devote a team of people to plan the entire event, which includes finding a venue with adequate meeting and accommodation space, planning out meals, and brainstorming the types of team meetings and sessions that you'll have.
It can be a lot logistically - understandably, many businesses feel that they don't have the time or resources, and instead rely on low-cost alternatives to earn buy in from their employees. Fortunately, we'll help build a customized retreat for your business that will help the entire team connect and earn buy-in from your employees.
Tips For Running A Corporate Retreat For Your Company
Great professional retreats are an important part of company culture. Here are some of our best tips on finding team building retreat locations near you and planning a team building retreat for your company:
-
Get Feedback First
The purpose of a corporate retreat is to increase employee engagement and team spirit. Getting their feedback and buy-in is key to a successful work retreat. Ask your employees if they’d even want a corporate retreat - if they say yes, you’ll know you’re on the right track.
They can even help you plan the event - get each person to come up with a team building activity with one of their coworkers that they don’t typically get to work with. It doesn’t have to feel like a board meeting - it should be a fun activity that they enjoy.
-
Book Your Company Retreat During The Week, Rather Than The Weekend
It can be tempting to book a company weekend retreat so that you don’t lose productivity during the week. However, if you’re still building your culture, weekend team building retreats can be looked at by your employees as a drag. Rather than having people excited about the event, your employees may feel annoyed that they’re taking time out of their busy social schedules to do extra unpaid work. We recommend booking your retreat from Sunday to Wednesday or Thursday if you can swing it. Your employees will thank you - and you’ll thank yourself.
-
Keep Your Retreat Balanced
The best corporate retreat destinations are unique, exclusive, and private. Exclusive corporate retreats are important to minimize distractions and keep things running smoothly, while also ensuring your team can focus on building relationships with each other. This means that the best places for a company retreat have space that accommodates both work and play and provide cozy sleeping accommodations for the entire group.
-
Find The Right Team Building Venue
It’s important to find the best corporate retreat location for your company. You’re making a significant investment, so you want to ensure that your team can get the most out of their time together. The best company retreats can accommodate an equal mix of productivity and team building - you’ll need a main meeting room, a few breakout rooms, and a large area for everyone to gather together.
-
Work With An Event Planner
The best team building retreats are well-planned and executed. You’ve only got a couple of days to make sure your team is getting the most out of your investment, so working with an experienced event planner is crucial to the success of your team building retreat. Many corporate retreat companies and executive retreat centers are just hotels and conference centers that don’t offer much in the way of support for your event.
The top corporate retreat locations offer event planning services along with your booking. Working with an event planner at a venue like The Post & Beam can help ensure you plan a retreat corporate executives and employees at all levels of the business will find enjoyable and valuable. Our team can help plan team building activities, corporate adventure retreats, and more.
