If you want to motivate and re-energise your workforce, an increasingly popular way of doing so is to take your employees on a company retreat.
Could this be the key to banishing burnout within your business and promoting wellness?
Benefits of company retreats
Company retreats are exciting and can be fun when done right. This time away from the office gives your team something to look forward to and to work towards throughout the year.
Here are 5 benefits of taking your workforce away for a company retreat:
Very few of us enjoy looking at the same four walls every day, so a company retreat is a great chance to take your staff out of the office environment to unwind and enjoy themselves.
Although using monetary methods to improve satisfaction shouldn’t be your only priority, employees will feel valued and appreciated knowing that you went out of your way to pay and organise a retreat for them.
Company retreats are a time when your staff can talk to each other without the pressures of work.
Instead of having to talk about work-related things, they can get to know each other a lot better on a personal level which will in turn create stronger working relationships.
If you’re operating a larger business, staff in different departments may have never got the chance to meet or talk before the retreat.
Use a retreat to improve relationships across your whole business by encouraging people in different departments to spend time together.
Most employees will feel refreshed and invigorated after a company retreat. This will usually mean that they will be a lot more motivated once they return to work and feel more dedicated to the business.
Corporate retreats are a great way to allow employees to unwind and switch off from their usual job, but it can’t be seen as a quick fix to low employee morale.
I suggest corporate retreats be used as a motivator alongside more regular staff bonding activities.
