Goals for Corporate Retreats

To know if you've had a successful retreat, have some goals in mind. If you can measure it, you can track it, and if you can track it, you can use it to inform decisions and changes.

Consider these ideas for your retreat goals:

• Ideas for improving company culture

• Improving communication channels

• Brainstorming project ideas

• Big picture thinking - goals for the future

• Have both tangible and intangible goals to aim for

Take a short survey before and after the retreat to assess employee satisfaction and assess how productive staff members found it

Set a number of ideas to come up with -- product names, client support ideas, new marketing channels -- whatever.Remember, the best way to get a good idea, is to have a lot of ideas.

Aim for a certain number or percentage of employee participation in the retreat. Making real change stick back at the worksite will require a critical mass of staff members who are on-board with the new ideas.
