Who knew managing a business could be so difficult?
It quickly becomes apparent, to most new business owners, that you can’t please everyone all the time, and that includes employees. It’s stressful to deal with difficult customers, differences of opinion, equipment malfunctions and any of a variety of other problems businesses face.
To address and try to alleviate the stresses, many large, midsize and even small companies offer corporate retreats so the employees can relax, be thanked, and bond with one another, and sometimes with the boss as well. Such events might involve wine tasting in Napa Valley, sightseeing in San Francisco, or reserving a private bus and tour guide to venture down the California coast. With the right private guide, an adventurous group could experience a once-in-a-lifetime corporate retreat in Yosemite National Park.
When was the last time you saw the Milky Way?
There’s no record of who invented the corporate retreat, but it often works.
It can offer a chance to vent, to be heard, to listen, and to appreciate different points of view. Maybe that annoying co-worker isn’t so annoying after all. Perhaps the snooty woman in the next cubicle is actually shy. Some employees learn there’s more to life than working 9 to 5 and return to their jobs refreshed and rejuvenated.
Corporate retreats are much more than listening to a person speaking through a microphone, too. Much like a good bartender, a private tour guide is part historian, part psychologist, part pastor, and part confidante. The experience is not just about being entertained; it’s about being enlightened and de-stressed, not distressed.
Escape your work-from-home lifestyle and immerse yourself in nature.
Are you looking for a way to bring your employees together or reward them for a job well done?
Consider hiring a private tour guide to get your message across while providing a memorable experience, whether budget or luxury. With the right private tour guide, a corporate retreat doesn’t need to mean zip-lining in the jungle; it can mean seeing California from a whole new perspective — whether the experience explores the coast, Yosemite, San Francisco, or elsewhere.
