Running a team retreat is complicated, don't do it alone.
We provide an all-inclusive experience where the planning, catering, and execution are completed for you. Including the following and more:
Workspace & Meeting Space
Accommodation & Food
Team Retreat Planning
Team Building Facilitation & Training
Our workshops and team-building activities include clear action items to apply to your unique challenges as a startup after the end of the corporate retreat.
Through organizing hundreds of retreats we know exactly what you expect and need. When you relocate your team for a few days, you want to be sure that everything is going to go smoothly.
We can make that happen.
By taking care of the planning and getting the best rates from our network of proven providers, we organise your retreat more cost effectively than you could on your own, all while letting your employees focus on what matters most, your business!
Don’t allow the retreat planning process to slow-down contributions from the employees that are growing your company. Why spend time organising a retreat when you can manage a team or write code?
We guaranteed a memorable team experience that will leave your team more connected to each other and your goals as a startup. We want to reframe your team’s perception of what a corporate retreats entails with positive impact.
During our Retreat Planning Consultation, we gain an understanding of everything you're looking for and help you sort out things you may not have even thought of.
Most importantly, we define the goals and needs of the team retreat by outlining the Team Bonding, Team Building and Team Strategy Ratio.
👉 Team Bonding is the social fun, food, drinks and games that help cultivate relationships and bonds.
👉 Team Building is the intentional work of creating high-performing teams through experiential learning.
👉 Team Strategy is the alignment of goals, strategy and growth.
By outlining your ratio, we better understand how to design your experience.
We love to start with what you already have and help you build from there. Part of our full-service commitment means that we come in to facilitate learning and run your team-building workshops.
Our team will begin designing your transformational team-building retreat. We will come to you with package options that fit within your budget needs - or we'll make alternative recommendations if necessary.
We will create a proposal you can give to your executives to showcase the opportunity—the venue options, including programming and team-building workshops.
Upon approval of the proposal, we'll need to settle the first deposit to secure the commitment.
We love to start with what you already have and help you build from there. While we offer full-service Retreats, we also come in to facilitate and run team-building training.
You'll be assigned an account manager who will be your go to person for all things you need related to your retreat.
We will begin to book all the necessary venues, accommodations, and food. Despite an agreed upon budget, we will continue to negotiate and find deals where we can save you money.
All money saved off of the original budget is given back to you.
We'll have easy to use tools for you to oversee budget, manage RSVPs, and showcase the retreat and get folks excited!
If it's large group travel we have partners that we work with closely to make it all easy, however if its a few employees flying in, it is often easiest for each to book their own.
Our team is with you on-site, ready to help ensure the event is smooth, facilitate relationship building, and lead you through team-building activities and strategic workshops!
The kickoff is our favourite part too! So you won't catch us missing out. We help folks break out of their shell and make the most of this transformational experience.
We're also there to take care of all issues that arise so that you can participate and enjoy.
Well, here's the trick. We're quite selective over which teams we work with because we can only run 24 retreats annually. Our full-service approach often leads us to work closely with teams in building a whole Learning & Development strategy for the year to help foster teamwork beyond just the retreat.
Energize executives and employees to inspire action, maximize productivity, and create long-lasting results. A team retreat can remind employees of the greater organizational mission and how their work contributes to it within the team.
Confront conflict head-on and use feedback as a tool for development, not criticism. Team retreats help relieve pressure through a change of scenery to be spent in the outdoors with a more relaxed atmosphere between team members. This is an opportunity to practice the more challenging aspects of feedback and leadership in a low-stakes environment
Collaboratively brainstorm solutions to problems executives can’t solve alone. Corporate retreats in collaboration with Unicorn Labs will help stimulate your team to think outside the box and be introduced to new tools and frameworks to innovate your mission forward.
Communicate more often and effectively with every personality type on your team. Time spent in corporate retreats is time spent learning to understand one another. We emphasize a big focus on learning the different communication styles in order to best align and attune oneself to diverse individuals in the most productive and effective way.
Develop meaningful relationships that get teams excited about work again. Team retreats help connect your employees as people. Engaging them through our activities will help establish trust and understanding that translates into rapport and optimized collaboration. Improve your corporate culture by investing in the relationships of the people that work there. Creating a sense of belonging is critical for a productive and connected team.
When you’re trying to plan the show, run the show, and deliver the messaging, you don’t have time to just be part of the team and actively participate. When you bring us in to do the heavy lifting, you get to enjoy your time with your team and let us worry about the details!
This is why we’re here! We don’t just bring transformational learning, we are also on site to handle any challenges that arise with booking, meals, activities, etc. so you can just sit back and enjoy alongside your team.
We work on our relationships with providers so that you don’t have to. If something changes within the booking, we’re able to adjust those elements on our side as long as it’s within a reasonable time before the event itself. Otherwise, we will do our best to work with the venues to see what’s possible, and negotiate on your behalf.
In our planning stage, we gather insights and objectives from a variety of stakeholders in addition to completing assessments with your team. We pull these information streams together to provide your team’s custom program.
All of our content is co-curated to suit the needs of your team, so if you have content that you need to present to the team, we work with you to find the best spot in the agenda to deliver your message.
We can run retreats for your executive team of minimum 4 or 5 and we can accommodate your full crew as long as we’re able to find a venue that will fit the full group!
We work with the venue to share any dietary needs to ensure that there are suitable options for every member of your team. As long as we know with advance notice, we’re able to ensure accommodations.
Yes! We’re happy to travel to you and help you achieve your transformational retreat experience whether it’s here in Ontario, across North America, or somewhere a little more exotic!
