Corporate Off Sites & Retreats
looking toward the Post COVID-19 Era
COVID-19 has subjected employees to the stress of global uncertainty, screen fatigue, social isolation, challenges in remote syncing and effectiveness, and the juggle of working from home. Companies are facing a rise in mental health issues, burnout, and forced remote based obstacles in effectively working towards individual and team objectives and potential.
Given that many companies are continuing with fully remote and hybrid models, intentional face to face interaction, team development, and the development of leadership capacities is more critical than ever as companies navigate and innovate in these rapidly evolving times.
