3 Reasons To Take Your Team on a Company Retreat

OK I know what you’re thinking – "do I really have to spend my time outside of work with my colleagues too?!"

There's tonnes of reason why you might not want to attend a company retreat, but let's dive into the benefits of diving right into a unique and life-changing experience:

1. Get out of the stress bubble

OK. We get it, work can be stressful and demanding. Often you're fighting fires and it's easy to build a mountain of stress when things go wrong.

Everyone has responsibilities at work, and it adds a natural pressure to you, your business, and your relationship with your colleagues.

Which is precisely why a company getaway could be just what you need!

It gives you an opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed setting (when you're not all flooded with responsibilities and deadlines).

Oh and trust me, with a new level of respect and understanding for each other you'll actually FEEL like a team, rather than just calling yourselves that.

2. A new space and environment to thrive

Careers can be complicated and stressful.

It can be easy for emotions to be heightened when you spend the majority of your time climbing the ladder alongside smart, ambitious people to reach difficult goals and grow a business together.?

By taking your team away from the office on a company retreat, you create the a fresh, inspiring space to be your best self.

You'll see brand new perspectives you hadn't considered before, and suddenly your biggest problems become easier to solve in a brand new light.

Oh and company retreats are great fun too!

Sit in the hot tub with a few drinks, and take the opportunity to reflect on what works well, and what is dragging you down.

3. Learn tools to reduce stress that you can implement post-retreat

Retreats are a great opportunity to take yourself away from the hustle and bustle, switch off the notifications and give yourself the break you need.

Not only this, but when the whole of your team takes the time to learn new tools to reduce stress and create space for a clear mind, your very best business decisions will be made!

Meditation can seem daunting and to be honest, not fun when you're starting out. But when you try different mindset tools during a retreat, you get a chance to find what works for you.

Rather than feeling like you have to sit with your legs crossed for hours, you get to explore the different styles and a create method that give you a clear headspace.

There'll be no more forcing yourself to do something you hate to try and clear your mind.

You'll leave the retreat knowing exactly how works best for YOU to relax and be in your best mindset yet.
