As you plan your next offsite, consider it through the lens of the new hire experience. If your newest hires are meeting colleagues for the first time, how will you ensure they feel welcome? Immersed in the culture? Not overwhelmed?

Recently, the team at BoomPop had the chance to fly into Park City, Utah, for their quarterly team offsite in the mountains. Not only does BoomPop plan retreats for clients all across the globe, we also use our in-house staff to plan amazing getaways for team bonding and big-picture alignment for ourselves.

Company offsites aren’t just a nice-to-have—they’re a powerful tool for making a lasting impact on your business and your employees.

Planning a team offsite can be a multi-month project which includes budgeting, choosing a destination and venue, planning activities and an interactive agenda, and communication.

Ensuring your team offsite is impactful, fun, and fresh begins with a well-formatted agenda, with the right balance of collaboration and downtime. Your agenda is meant to enhance your team experience so that all those involved find value in taking the time away from their day-to-day.
