Greaux Events Team Looks Forward to Upcoming Trip
Greaux Events' director of operations announced plans for the team to attend an industry retreat in the fall. He also described some benefits of these and similar functions.
Metairie, LA, August 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “When some people think of company retreats, forced icebreakers and overly generic speeches come to mind,” said Greaux Events’ director of operations. “That’s not the case for us, however. We’re preparing for a weekend of rest and relaxation in the Bahamas this November! There’s nothing forced or inauthentic about it.”
According to the director, all professional teams – no matter their sizes – can benefit from company gatherings. He explained that leisurely structures allow people to strengthen their bonds. They also collaborate better. “When we attend a retreat, we return to work feeling revitalized. Our focus is sharper and we’re more inspired. It simply isn’t possible to achieve anything like it from an office setting,” he stated.
"In my experience, there is an array of useful outcomes to business retreats,"
Leader of Greaux Events Describes Specific Benefits of Rest and Relaxation Events
“In my experience, there is an array of useful outcomes to business retreats,” the director continued. “We engage in activities that have real substance and value. For instance, there is one exercise that requires participants to split into groups. They each write out their biggest work-related fears. Then they take turns discussing their concerns, offering support and suggestions to one another throughout the duration of the activity. It eases anxiety, and shines a light into potential obstacles and strategies for overcoming them should they arise in the future.”
Greaux Events’ director of operations also indicated that team exercises help break down barriers between groups. They remind people of their shared company missions. Just by assigning them a hypothetical project, those who work in different departments can join together. In doing so, they learn about their colleagues’ unique talents and points of view. Not only do they gain more insight, but they are encouraged to step out of their usual ways of thinking.
“When considering a retreat for your team, I suggest that you identify the outcomes you’d like to see,” the firm’s director concluded. “At Greaux Events, for example, we often set networking and good, old-fashioned fun as the goals of our trips. We then develop action steps to help us achieve our objectives. Never take these events for granted by simply hoping for the best. Also, toss aside whatever preconceived notions you might have of industry retreats. Their potential truly has no limits.”
