Summer is made for... many things!

Here are the 4 favorite summer traditions of Boite Pac, along with tips to implement them within your company 💡

‍

1. Organize your annual retreat 📈🍹

The team's rapid-fire advice 👇🏼

‍

Thomas and his governance glasses: Survey the entire team to better identify which topics should be prioritized for discussion. 🎙️

#QuickWin: Send out a Typeform with a list of topics to cover, then ask each person to rank them in order of relevance in preparation for the off-site. Result? An agenda that meets everyone's needs!

‍

Catherine and her diversity, equity, and inclusion glasses: Consider surveying your employees' comfort level before making off-site overnight stays mandatory. Three days in a cottage can complicate family management and isn’t accessible for everyone. 💡

‍

Alexandra and her environmental glasses: Choose a location accessible by public transport 🚈. Otherwise, take care of coordinating carpooling 🚙 among participants and offset the GHG emissions generated by travel. 🍃

Judith and her wellness glasses, Marie and her creativity glasses: What’s the goal of a retreat? To stir up ideas and think big. And how do ideas come to life? From two not necessarily related pieces of information that, when given the necessary space, meet at a certain moment in our brains. Bing! An idea is born. 💥

‍

Remember to alternate between reflection and work blocks; schedule time for relaxation breaks, movement breaks, and activities that step outside of the work framework. All three forms, equally relevant, allow creativity to be optimized, and that’s absolutely necessary during an offsite.
