Corporate retreats, teambuilding exercises, and boosting company morale are not new concepts in the world of business.
In fact, most businesses, large and small, have been incorporating these activities into their work places for years. However, after two years of pandemic concerns, working remotely and just trying to keep businesses afloat, bringing colleagues together to build camaraderie, foster innovative thinking and build a more inclusive and effective corporate culture is more vital than ever.
The changing workplace and workforce have also created a shift in the traditional approach to teambuilding. While company retreats remain a valuable tool for bringing teams together, businesses are discovering the value in a more targeted approach to increasing employee engagement and personal productivity.
