What to Look for in the Best Company Retreat Locations
When choosing a venue for your business retreat, you’ll want to keep the following factors in mind to ensure your space is suitable:
- Access to Nature. Most company retreats incorporate team-building activities, which may require outdoor spaces. It’s wise to choose a venue with both indoor and outdoor areas for maximum space and versatility.
Furthermore, you’ll be glad to have an indoor space to retreat to if the weather doesn’t cooperate! If the weather is nice, nature will provide a relaxing respite from the office
- Access to Technology. While retreats should be fun and relaxing, they are business events! It’s common to include presentations, slideshows, and group brainstorming activities during your event.
Select a venue that has AV capabilities, such as state-of-the-art sound systems and a projector. When access to technology is easy and seamless, you’ll spend more time relaxing and less time problem-solving.
- Food and Drink. Sharing fresh, delicious meals can be one of the highlights of a well-planned company retreat. Consider a venue with an onsite catering kitchen, where chefs can prepare local farm-to-table meals.
Likewise, consider a venue with a bar and liquor license so you can seamlessly transition from work to play. Who doesn’t love happy hour?
- Space for Relaxation. On retreats, colleagues appreciate getting to know one another outside of a professional context. Prioritize venues with social spaces where team members can spread out, relax, and enjoy conversation. Look for porches, patios, decks, garden spaces, and other intimate spots for guests to gather and relax.
