Pocono Valley: Your #1 Pocono Staff Retreat!

Pocono Staff Retreat: Getting Started

Our staff retreat at Pocono Valley can help you plan every step of the way. Here are some tips to get started:

Defining the Vision: At this phase, we like to have our customers establish a preliminary itinerary idea for the staff retreat. If you create a preliminary itinerary on paper, you’ll have a great starting point for the rest of the retreat preparation process. To begin, we fill up a basic itinerary with blocks of time and crucial aspects from the goals area. The following are some typical important elements: Transportation, meals and beverages, team building, local experiences, work sessions, and downtime are all included in the package.

Creating a Budget: Work with your team to come up with a budget per participant for your retreat. We’ll assist you in making plans once you’ve established a target figure.

We usually advocate creating a specific event focused on getting individuals to connect in new ways for team building activities during company retreats. The majority of our clients ask us to plan a team Olympics volleyball tournament, a fun run, or a scavenger hunt for them. There is no set agenda for these activities, and each one can be fully tailored to incorporate unique aspects of your company culture and increase employee involvement.

Work and Have Fun at your Employee Retreat

Just because it’s an employee retreat doesn’t mean everyone needs to be completely focused on work. Encourage your workers to connect and learn more about one another. At Pocono Valley, we have 101+ fun activities from water sports to ropes courses and zip lines.

People are able to bond better when they have the opportunity to explore the outdoors, share a meal, or simply laugh with one another.

During retreat activities, though, don’t be scared to keep on subject. While you should encourage your team to have fun, you should also set limits. This may be accomplished by setting aside time during the day for everyone to go out on their own and unwind.
