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.
Organizing a residential seminar near Paris for a few days, in a quiet, peaceful location, is ideal for making 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 fast-paced world, where every place looks the same, moments of attention and wonder are rare. Favoring a seminar outside Paris, in an atypical location in the Ile-de-France region, is the best way for employees to reconnect with time and space. After two years of pandemics, virtual interactions and remote webinars, it's more important than ever to reconnect with the environment and each other.
Getting out of the office and discovering an unknown destination is a little adventure in itself. Inviting your teams to a residential seminar near Paris gives them the opportunity to cut themselves off from the stresses and strains of city life. Many feel they can "recharge their batteries" in contact with nature. Nature 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 setting. Many activities, such as walking or cycling, are possible. The important thing is to reconnect with nature and with ourselves, in order to encourage new creative levers.
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.
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.
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?
