Throughout COVID-19’s challenging times, businesses have been operating remotely for a substantial amount of time. Due to the limited number of options, interaction and freedom, employees may often feel low morale and productivity. Therefore, it is crucial to invest in improving team building post-Coronavirus to continue work with as much positivity as possible, and keeping a good morale among the staff.

 

Team building Events are a great way to improve employee motivation and communication, co-workers get the chance to interact outside of the home working environment, and bond during group activities.

Chelsea Parkfields, in Herefordshire is the perfect base for a range of Team Building Events. We are able to offer an incredible backdrop for all types of  Corporate Events that enables teams to unite, develop, collaborate, have fun and participate in a number of exhilarating activities.

From the day that we opened our doors way back in 1995 we have offered Exclusive Use as standard. Meaning that you can work safely at Parkfields in your own bubble of colleagues without worrying about interruption from outside parties. We have 11.5 acres of outdoor space which gives our guests a varied woking environment along with some good old fashioned fresh air. 

Over the past few years we have worked with numerous delivery partners that are very experienced in translating a business’s ‘team’ brief into a highly enjoyable and demanding event. All of these companies are great people to work with and come with a 5* reputation. Each event can be tailored to the needs of the business but still remain an enjoyable and moral building experience and here at Parkfields. We have space to accommodate both indoor and outdoor team building activities

The personal service that our dedicated conference planning team delivers allows you to structure your time at Chelsea Parkfields with efficiency and confidence.

COVID-19 has forced us to rethink how we interact with one another, specifically by shifting the emphasis to digital screens so that we can work from home. However. Employees are increasingly experiencing burnout and exhaustion from constant video conferencing, a phenomenon that’s been dubbed “Zoom fatigue.”

Arranging a meeting or corporate retreat for employees that have had to adapt to working from home can be a good way to reinforce company culture after months of home working. It doesn’t have to be the normal cliché, such as a trust fall or climbing a rope. Now is the time that you need your colleagues to work together again and develop as a team.

It Allows the Sharing of Ideas

A corporate retreat allows for everybody to feel more relaxed and in turn will create an environment where anyone can share ideas. Businesses have had to adapt very quickly to the ‘new normal’ and every company would like to work as one team rather than individual. A corporate retreat will also provide an environment where they don’t feel like they’re going to be judged in a negative way. A good offsite meeting can be of benefit to the company because people are able to build  confidence and develop a better working relationship with their colleagues.

Getting to know your colleagues

Your company is all about people. Without people, it doesn’t exist. On a day to day basis we might not interact with every one of our colleagues and therefore many companies require and offsite retreat so everyone can come together. Also in many organisations, the chances are that the interns or graduates whom have just started with the company don’t come into contact with the people at the top very often. A corporate retreat serves as a time where people who don’t normally speak can connect. This can lead to a closer and more connected company.

Make People Feel Appreciated

2020 has quite possibly been the most challenging year in modern times and your team have shown the resilience required to get your company through such unprecedented circumstances. Now is the time to make each and everyone of them appreciated for what they do. A positive working environment only happens when employees feel like they’re being appreciated and respected. It is a common misconception that a company retreat will involve the normal and sometime awkward “Team Building”  but that-really doesn’t have to be the case. The key to a successful corporate retreat is location. Bring your employees to a beautiful house in the glorious Herefordshire countryside where they can relax, have fun, enjoy the fresh air and really develop as a team.
