3. Focus on wellness
Executive employees need self-care and work-life balance skills more than employees on any other level because they often work overtime. A wellness retreat that includes time for a yoga class, a spa visit, or a round of golf is a productive use of time, allowing everyone to recharge and return to work refreshed.
Book a resort hotel with a spacious gym that offers different classes and create your own retreat. Or, you can invest in a custom all-inclusive corporate wellness retreat package to simplify the planning process. There will be plenty of time to meet and get work done with this retreat, so your leadership team can be both productive and pampered.
4. Visit a ranch
A ranch is a classic retreat location, and it’s easy to see why. Ranches offer the opportunity for fresh air, plenty of meeting space, and room for outdoor activities. And they often include any and all of the amenities you could possibly need, like kitchens, bedrooms, and showers.
Many ranches offer excellent group rates and have plenty of team-building activities and even spas on-site, so your leadership members can work, play constructively, and unwind — all in one place. Ranches are nestled around most major cities, so you can keep travel costs and carbon emissions down. If you want to create a ranch-like retreat experience at a Peerspace venue, just ask the host about the amenities they offer.
5. Host workshops
The everyday routine at the office doesn’t always allow for many educational opportunities. Take advantage of this focused time away at the retreat to strategize for the future. Between the meetings, relaxation periods, and ancillary activities, schedule a few workshops led by consultants or other experts in your field on the areas in which your executive team needs improvement.
The focus of the workshops could be leadership, communication, goal setting, conflict management, emotional intelligence skills, or diversity training. Check out this blog post for more information on how to plan a successful workshop.
6. Create your own retreat
If you enjoy event coordination, consider designing your own retreat program. Pick a venue on Peerspace, select add-ons like catering and amenities you may need, including projectors, games, a kitchen, a pool, or an outdoor grill, then plan your ideal executive retreat agenda. The Peerspace Concierge service can refer you to any outside vendors, such as a catering service or professional photographer, you may need to work with to make your retreat a success.
Ask for input from your executives to create a retreat everyone will appreciate. This way, you can be sure you are using your time and resources wisely. The key to designing a successful retreat is allocating the perfect mix of productive working time and fun or relaxing activity hours. Interestingly, this executive retreat option may be the most affordable on this list while offering the most freedom.
