4 Ways Corporate Retreats Boost Business

Sometimes it’s good to get the team out of the office and into a fresh, new environment. An environment, say, like Shepherd’s Pasture (https://shepherdspasture.com/), a multi-use retreat center (and yes, a corporate retreat center) in the magical East Texas town of Jefferson.

Check out these highlights from an article over at Chron Small Business (https://smallbusiness.chron.com/company-retreats-good-productivity-37136.html) about how corporate retreats can really boost your company morale and improve productivity.

1. Small business owners can improve productivity by investing in a company retreat. Simply getting away from the stressful atmosphere of the workplace can do a world of good. Your employees can work only so hard before cracking. When they return, their stress levels will be lower, meaning they’ll have the energy to work as hard as necessary without sacrificing quality.
2. Retreats that include team activities build camaraderie, training you and your workers to identify and incorporate the personal strengths of individuals to achieve group goals. The cooperative skills gained at a retreat will improve the performance of your workforce by showing employees how to work together effectively.
3. Company retreats remove workers from their typical contexts, revitalizing them and inspiring them to take pride in their work again.
4. When workers relax, they communicate better, both with you and each other. Opening lines of communication builds connections, spurring conversations that might not have happened otherwise, allowing employees to gain new perspectives on the business.
