Why organize a residential seminar?

Organizing a company seminar is always a key event in the year. Yet the task is far from straightforward... By taking the time to get together outside the box, to disconnect from a sometimes restrictive routine, we encourage team cohesion and unleash creativity in a more lasting way.


Why choose a residential seminar?


Organizing a professional seminar lasting just a few days in a quiet, peaceful setting is the ideal way to make a lasting impression. We're all familiar with the famous Team Building events in Paris, which can sometimes be disappointing. A lunch squeezed in between two meetings, an evening activity that adds to the fatigue, a visit to a familiar place: while the options are easy and numerous, they don't offer a real escape from everyday life.

In a world where everything is fast-paced, where every place looks the same, moments of attention and wonder are rare. Favoring a seminar outside of Paris, in an unusual location, is the best way for employees to reconnect with time and space. After two years of pandemic, of virtual interactions, of remote webinars, it is more than ever necessary to recreate the link with the environment and the others. 


4 good reasons to organize a stay 


Stimulate creativity 

Getting out of the office to discover an unknown destination is a little adventure in itself. Inviting your teams to a seminar in the Ile de France gives them the opportunity to cut themselves off from their habits and the stress of city life. Many of them have the impression that they are "recharging their batteries" in contact with nature. It has the ability to stimulate the senses - sight, smell, hearing - and to touch our emotions directly. A stay in the green leaves room for imagination and contemplation, in an inspiring place. Numerous activities such as walking and biking are possible. The important thing is to reconnect to nature and to oneself, in order to encourage new creative levers. 


Strengthen team cohesion

One of the main advantages of a corporate retreat in the countryside is the team bonding. Being in a new place encourages connectivity between employees. Naturally, the personalities and assets of each person are revealed and expressed more freely. Organizing a game of pétanque, sharing a breakfast or taking part in an improvisation course: these moments of quality generate memories and quickly strengthen the bonds.  


Create a corporate culture

A company's culture defines its character and personality, impacts its reputation, as well as its efficiency. Most employees spend a large part of their day at the office, between 7 and 8 hours on average. In other words, there is little time left for other activities or leisure time. That's why it's important to create a caring and dynamic corporate culture that makes them want to come to work in the morning. 

Offering a company holiday in the countryside increases exchanges between employees in a positive way and thus reinforces the feeling of belonging to the same entity. It is also a way to position oneself as a committed company, which advocates values of responsibility, open-mindedness and sharing. 


Train employees 

The work environment has a positive impact on learning abilities. Many people will appreciate a warm atmosphere to develop new skills. Choosing to conduct training outside of a traditional meeting room encourages participants to step out of their comfort zone and be receptive to new concepts. What better way to create excitement than to hold a training session outdoors or in a well-decorated room with the right equipment?
