Hey LinkedIn peeps! I'm looking for some input. In today's remote and hybrid focused work climate, do you see value in holding team offsites? Would you still choose an offsite location if you had an opportunity for your remote teammates to come into the company HQ for an onsite? Finally, what would you look for when selecting an offsite location? We've hosted a few team offsites here at Kernville Cowork, and it's so much fun that I'm considering offering offsites as a service to small teams that want to go somewhere new to connect and improve team cohesion. The photo here is from an offsite that we hosted pre-pandemic. Let me know your thoughts! #offsite #teambuilding #team #workwhereyouplay #onsite #travel

You won’t want to miss this in-person event! There will also be a door prize drawing and awards for great questions! Join Doug Westervelt, CEO of Portland Internetworks, for an in-person and informal discussion on how to build and maintain a thriving and productive workplace that employees love coming to every day. His 35-person Managed IT Services company was recently awarded a coveted spot on the Oregon Business 100 Best Companies To Work For in Oregon list for 2024. Doug will share: - Unique events to build camaraderie and trust between teams; What to do to ensure that your new hires actually come to work on their start date; how to build a bench of candidates before you even post a job opening; ways to make your office a place in which your employees love to work! - Portland Internetworks kept their turnover to 0% for the last two years; they’ve implemented special moments to motivate and retain key players; and provided innovative ways to unbundle cash compensation from employee retention and engagement. The event kicks off at 4:30 PM, and the presentation takes place from 4:30 PM - 5:00 PM and will be followed with refreshments. #ALABuzz #networking #workculture #legalmanagment

Team offsites aren't just a break from the office—they're a strategic investment in your team's success! Here are a few reasons why company offsites are crucial: 💪 Team Building: Strengthen bonds and foster collaboration among team members in a relaxed and inspiring setting. ✍ Strategic Planning: Step away from day-to-day operations to focus on long-term goals, brainstorm new ideas, and develop actionable strategies. Innovation: Encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking by immersing your team in a new environment that sparks inspiration. 👏 Employee Engagement: Show appreciation for your team's hard work and dedication by investing in their personal and professional development. 🧘♀️ Renewed Focus: Recharge and refocus your team's energy by providing a change of scenery and a fresh perspective.

As summer approaches, so does the season of company offsites, all-hands and other gatherings with the objective of team building. But here's a question: Is one fun event really enough to build a strong, cohesive team? It's like trying to master a new language by attending just one 12h intensive class. While you might pick up a few phrases and some enthusiasm, without ongoing practice you'll quickly lose what you've learned. Instead, fostering a culture of connection throughout the organisation is a more effective approach to team building - without inducing any cringes at the thought of trust falls or other cheesy activities. Why to bother? Well… it can bring great benefits: 🔗 Builds trust: Team members get to know each other better, making it easier for them to rely on one another. 💬 Creates communication shortcuts: Shared experiences allow for references to past events, creating shortcuts that speed up communication. 🛡️ Provides Psychological Safety: Encourages everyone to engage and participate, ensuring all ideas are valued. When employees feel safe to express themselves, creativity and innovation thrive. 🚀 Increases productivity: With improved trust, communication, and psychological safety, teams work more efficiently, leading to better outcomes. Collaboration becomes seamless and projects are completed faster and with higher quality. 😊 Boosts employee well-being: Enhanced relationships and job satisfaction contribute to overall employee well-being. When employees feel connected and valued, their job satisfaction and morale increase significantly. 🔄 Improves employee retention: Happy and engaged employees are more likely to stay with the organisation. Building a connected culture isn't just about a single event — it's about ongoing efforts and practices that nurture relationships and collaboration. #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture #EmployeeEngagement #WorkplaceWellbeing #Productivity #EmployeeRetention #Leadership #HR

When it comes to workplace appreciation, it’s all about what truly matters. Sure, perks like a fancy laptop or branded swag can be great. But at the end of the day, what really counts is the respect, recognition, and growth opportunities that a company provides. A respectful work environment, a fair salary, and meaningful career progression? That’s the real reward. Let’s prioritize workplace cultures that value people over things. #CareerGrowth #RespectAtWork #EmployeeAppreciation #WorkplaceCulture

❇️ Employees have valuable insights to share—you just need to ask! 🤦🏻♀️ Corporate life often fails to meet the diverse needs of even the most dedicated staff. While many organizations focus on perks, we believe that true improvements in employee well-being go beyond pizza parties and generic recognition programs. Instead of relying solely on company-wide surveys, we’ve found that direct conversations yield the most meaningful insights into what employees truly value and what enhances their experience at work. That’s why A Better Way Consultancy is excited to launch an important study as part of the Culture x Coffee Project and needs participants like you to share your opinions!

Colleagues who roll up to the office after 10 AM might actually be right on time. 👀 There’s growing evidence that later is better when it comes to the intersection of work start times and worker productivity. Of course, everyone works differently, but there could be a sweet spot for maximum efficiency.

In 2023, we kicked off our quarterly Networking Nights in our Tampa HQ, and they've continued into 2024 with our first one of the year last week! This is a fantastic opportunity for our employees to step out of their daily routines and engage with colleagues from different teams in a relaxed, on-site environment.   🤝 **Why Network Internally?** Internal networking is more than just mingling; it's about building relationships that foster professional #growth** and #collaboration. Here's are some benefits our employees can see:   **Career Development**: Connect with leaders and peers to discover new opportunities within the company. **Knowledge Sharing**: Exchange ideas and insights that can lead to innovative solutions and improved work practices. **Team Cohesion**: Strengthen team bonds, which can lead to a more harmonious and productive workplace. **Employee Engagement**: Feel more connected and valued, which boosts morale and job satisfaction.   Our hope is that our teams make meaningful connections that could shape the trajectory of their careers, and we can #growtogether!   #Networking #CareerGrowth #EmployeeEngagement #TeamBuilding
