#1: Team Building

The aspect of actually building the ideal team should be easy right? Finding the best people with skills that fit a company’s needs, but the hard part is making everyone work together as one. This problem can easily be solved with an overnight retreat using team building exercises. These can include bonfires, cooking competitions, wine tastings, nature walks, hiking or even fishing. Chaumette offers several scenic indoor and outdoor settings to suit your event needs year-round.

#2: Mix Things Up

Group settings often cause confusion when new ideas are brought about. When you allow small group gatherings within your retreat, it gives leeway for everyone to share their ideas to then present to the larger group. You want your employees to feel heard and appreciated. Large group functions provide more of a brainstorming feel to solve big-picture problems. Chaumette provides conference rooms that can be made to accommodate small or large group functions. Throughout the day be sure to switch it up to keep things interesting!

#3: Boost Employee Morale

When you have several employees, the morale of your employees can often get lost in the chaos of work. Providing a company retreat at Chaumette means having a positive, respectful, and encouraging environment for your employees. Retreats boost employee morale and company morale. If you have happy, dedicated employees that know you are dedicated to their well-being, then you’re guaranteed to see a difference.

#4: A New Environment Equals New Ideas

While sitting at the same desk or conference room daily, ideas may start to become stale. When providing an open space surrounded by beautiful scenery, you’re also providing an environment where people can become inspired and thrive. When your employees are sitting outside the box, they often think outside the box. New ideas give the company a fresh look at things, and you may even come up with an idea that changes the game!

#5: Discover Employee Hidden Talents

There is no better way to get to know your team better than a company retreat! Taking time to understand the hobbies, or hidden talents of your employees can make work a more enjoyable place. Picture this; maybe your desk partner John who doesn’t speak much shows you he’s practicing sign language! Or maybe your team leader shares that in his spare time he is a ping pong champion! Giving this time allows your employees to share their gifts and get to know each other better!

#6: Invest In Your Company

 

Lastly, invest in your own company. What you put in you’ll get out. The cost of a company retreat can often be the deciding factor of whether or not you have one. The truth is, your company will return stronger than ever and more than likely you’ll see a positive change within the workplace. Think of your retreat as a vacation with goals! Come as co-workers, and leave as friends. These tips will help the average company become extraordinary! Find that balance in your company, and when you leave you’ll be ready to plan the next one! Invest today for a better tomorrow!
