Offsite events cross into the territory of incentive travel and meeting events. Part fun, part business, the company offsite is tasked with delivering business objectives and boosting the team dynamic. The combined schedule of work and play can really deliver results.
The concept is to take onsite minds offsite, to invigorate them. Break with daily familiarity, problem-solve, and build teams in an off-site location. The results can be startling - teams gel and intractable problems are solved offsite.
To elevate minds, some offsites head to the mountains. Rarified, frigid air, dramatic vistas and often the option for time on the snow deliver shared experiences and challenges. Corporate ski trips with a meeting element are highly effective events.
The backdrop doesn’t need to be sheer granite. Innovative cityscapes with remarkable meeting venues, historic Venetian halls, rooms with views over French vineyards – all make the break with the onsite routine.
A company offsite is a corporate event where staff gather outside the office. It is part meeting, part social event. It is intended to deliver on corporate objectives such as team building, planning (strategy and communication), and training. Additionally, offsite events offer the chance to network with colleagues, build team cohesion, and recharge individuals. Successful offsite event programmes include a good mix of meetings and activities, with group dinners and plenty of social interaction.
Corporate offsite events can vary in location and duration. Some are single-day events that take place close to the organising enterprise. However, most involve at least one overnight stay. Some of the best locations across Europe offer the organisation a real break from office routines. Some offsite events feel like a corporate retreat for larger teams rather than just senior management.
Company offsite events can be held close to an organisation’s office, allowing ease of access and, in some cases, a reduced financial outlay. In most cases, the attending team will arrange these offsites, assuming that they are on their patch.
We offer corporate offsites that tend to be a little further afield. Making the effort to travel to more unfamiliar locations helps with the break of routine. In many cases, the costs of overnight offsites are comparable with those in London, for example.
