Since the beginning of the year, many businesses have been taking advantage of the “start fresh” idea and have scheduled retreats over the last couple of months. Stevenson Ridge coordinators even had one of our own last week to discuss ways to continue improving our services.
Knowing the purpose for your business retreat will keep you focused while you are working.
The purpose of business retreats falls into one of these categories:
- Strategic Planning—Map out what your company does and plan strategies to attract and give service to the right clients.
- Launching a Project—Perhaps it’s time for you to create a new revenue stream, build systems, or partner on something new.
- Team Building—Creating synergy with those you work with is a great idea. How can you give others clarity and direction when they work with you?
- Boost Creativity—Day-to-day tasks rob employees of valuable quiet time, where a retreat might spark creativity and gives you the time to think.
- Create & Implement Change—If your business is stagnant, it is time to rejuvenate! A retreat will get everyone working cohesively.
