Why take your team off-site?

Why a retreat?

When you invest in your people, your people become more invested in your business.

The best corporate retreats leverage time out of the office to look at challenges and opportunities from a more empowered point of view. They are a great way to open up dialog between team members and build trust and connection. Because distractions are minimized, there is a renewed energy and focus to set new and common company goals, initiate valuable training, and facilitate better communication.

Team members will participate in fun, interactive activities that will allow them to develop authentic connections based on shared experiences. This new-found common ground increases trust and collaboration and creates an environment where team members respect each other’s differences, complement each other’s strengths and cheer on each other’s successes.

Like spending vacation time, taking your people on a retreat allows your employees to renew their enthusiasm and excitement for work. This time away provides employees with a moment to step back and reevaluate their work. They head back to the office with renewed energy and vigor which results in happier and more productive employees.

All group discussions, activities, and personal reflection periods are aimed at empowering team members to apply newly-learned knowledge and experience to real-life workplace scenarios. It’s also a great time to form new team objectives and goals. Taking into consideration input from employees when forming the new business strategy will help them form a stronger connection with your company and work harder towards a common goal.

FAQ's

Group sizes can range from 6 to 50+ people. The most common size for a group is between 12—25 people.

We run our programs in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts and beyond. Conveniently located between NY and Boston, we work with several hotels, B&B’s and lodges to provide you with the experience you want within the budget that you’re looking for.

Our offices are in Great Barrington, MA, one of the Best Small Towns in America, according to The Smithsonian Magazine. We love it here. We re-located from the New York City area about seven years ago and haven’t looked back! Here’s a link to driving directions.

Whenever possible, we suggest that the program lasts at least 3-days/2-nights so that your group has a real opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience and has ample time to connect, bond and reflect. However, we will work with whatever time you have available and makes sense.

As a matter of fact we have a few:

It generally lasts about an hour and is designed to give us a better idea of your goals and objectives for the retreat. They can be conducted in person or via phone or video conference. We will discuss program length, themes, activities, and more. Our team will then create a suggested itinerary with specific activities and or workshops for you to review. Together we will finalize the itinerary, costs and lock down a date.

For an additional cost, we are happy to work with you on an extended pre-program consulting process that can include assessments such as a 360-Degree Feedback Process, interviews with the employees or the Executive Team, and more. The more information we have, the better we are able to develop a transformational program for your group!

This can vary depending on the length of the retreat, activity types and even seasonal considerations. For example, a simple two-day team building retreat in November can be run within weeks of the Pre-Program Consultation; an extended, 4-day retreat that includes customized workshops and activities in the peak summer months could take a couple of months to plan and prepare for. Generally speaking, however, we understand that you’ve come to us with an opportunity or challenge that needs to be addressed promptly, so we’ll work with you to make sure your Team Retreat happens as soon as possible!

Here is just a sampling of the types of activities you can choose from:

There are many factors that go into the investment for a retreat that it’s almost impossible to give a cost or even a range. Things to consider include: Length of Retreat; Size of Your Group; Type of Accommodations; Activities; Workshops; and Meal Options. Each program price is calculated based on all the above and more. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions about cost.

Some teams want to be formally led in all activities and some want to be let loose to do it themselves. We can integrate as much “training” into all activities as desired. All of our activities and components can be customized to reflect whatever level of guidance and learning desired.

Once we have finalized the itinerary and chosen the dates, we will ask for a non-refundable deposit in the amount of 50% of the retreat cost. This will allow us to secure program leaders, activities and accommodations. The second half payment is due 60 days prior to the retreat date.

We offer a post-retreat follow-up plan which will help reinforce learnings and bring actions plans back to the workplace. The usual retreat includes one post-program session. Additional post-program options are available for your group as well, including:

Executive Coaching
Professional Development Coaching
Leadership Development Programs
Monthly Advisory Services

Some activities will be cancelled in bad weather. Your meeting planner will provide you with a suggested packing list so you’ll be prepared no matter what.
