Five Tips For Planning An End-Of-Year Corporate Retreat

Its hard to believe, but 2022 is almost at an end. The start of its last quarter is less than a week away. There is still time to start planning a corporate retreat to wrap up 2022 or kick off 2023. It’s hard work and can take a long time to iron out all the wrinkles – unless you let us handle the planning and details for you.

Start with a clear understanding of your goals and a frank and honest assessment of your team. These two points of clarity ensure your retreat is effective and your team returns to your office with new skillsets, tips, and techniques.

These five tips can help you move easily from each planning step to the next until your reach completion:

1. Don’t make assumptions about what is needed or preferred – ask team leaders and team members what they want and need in a retreat
2. Make room in the retreat schedule for downtime so team members can have some personal space and time
3. Book flights early and in groups and look for every strategic advantage when planning a corporate retreat
4. Create an intentional, interactive mix of attendees – invite team members who are excelling and team members who need encouragement
5. Include a mixer or icebreaker – either (or both) is a great way to encourage attendees to let their hair down and leave the office behind
