Are you thinking of booking an activity holiday for your corporate breakaway but not sure if it’s right for you? You’ve come to the right place, as we are big fans of activity holidays and want to break down the many benefits an activity holiday will offer to your employees.
Not only is an activity holiday perfect if your employees like to be active, but it is ideal for team bonding and having fun with each other. No matter the activity, whether you’re kayaking along the fjords in Norway or hiking the Portugues Coastal Route from Porto, you’ll create many lasting memories that we are sure you will revisit in the office multiple times across the year.
So is an activity holiday right for your corporate breakaway? Below are the reasons we think it may be right for you.
Ideal for team building
Most successful corporate breakaways will include some form of team building, whether that’s during the day or in the evening. By taking an activity break, you are guaranteed to be working together, improving communication, and solving challenges. It is a completely different type of team building when being active together as you’ll bring out all sides of your employees, especially their competitive side.
Create ever-lasting memories together
Sure, a cocktail master class is going to be fun and people will enjoy it, but do you think you will create as many long-lasting memories when you compare that to kayaking the Fjords in Norway? Or skiing down the mountains in the French Alps? When you do an activity holiday, no matter where it will be in a completely different place from the place you operate your business from. You’ll be able to enjoy stunning scenery as well as experience different cultures together.
Perfect for employees who are active
The people who will enjoy an activity holiday the most are the employees who enjoy being active in their spare time. If you have an office of people who you know are active a lot, then going on an activity holiday will be perfect for them. You’ll be working your muscles daily, burning plenty of calories and getting to be competitive. Depending on how big your team is, it’s worth finding out if there is an activity that a lot of your team enjoys, as this can be a good place to start when organising your breakaway.
When you go away on a corporate breakaway, there is one thing you can guarantee and that is your employees will make many long-lasting memories together. A breakaway also gives your employees a chance to see the different sides of each other, not just the work them, which is great if you are trying to break down some barriers.
