Structure Your Corporate Retreat ~ Cottages by the Bay

It is important to carefully plan a corporate retreat. Time is an important resource for you and your employees. A great schedule flows and aligns with team values. Moreover, the structure of your corporate retreat sets the tone for what’s to come in the workplace. In short, organize and create a well-thought-out schedule. Retreat, refocus and drive results!

From the start, identify the goal of your corporate retreat. The schedule can incorporate everything from relaxation to innovation competitions. It’s up to you! Make the goal known so employees prepare. It’s ok to have some surprises, but generally let your team know what to expect. When you stay at Cottages by the Bay for a corporate retreat in Destin, book meeting space nearby at the Bay House and take advantage of the incredible things to do in the area. The sky is the limit!

Additionally, to meet the expectations of your retreat you need a leader. Choose from within the company or outsource. A strong corporate retreat facilitator keeps everyone on track. For example, a facilitator establishes when it is time to move to the next activity. Also, this person encourages all attendees to participate. He or she drives the schedule forward. Furthermore, a facilitator may give keynote speeches or provide leadership development. Most important, choose a facilitator who understands the purpose of your corporate retreat.

Though this may come as a surprise, we advise you to schedule downtime. This allows you and your team to recharge in between activities and events. Often, people do their best work when they feel rested and at ease. When it comes to establishing a great environment, balance is key. The Cottages by the Bay provide the perfect setting for your team to recharge. Contact us to book your corporate retreat in Destin today.
