Imagine: you want to go on a workation/corporate trip with your company. But where do you go, when, what does such a program look like, what does it cost, who arranges it?

What does a corporate workstation look like?
The idea of a workation is to provide a change of scenery, inspire the team and strengthen team spirit. Many companies do not yet have a good idea of what a work vacation looks like for their staff. They are often unaware of the amount of work involved in preparation. This creates challenges during preparations and unpleasant surprises during the workation.
There are several aspects that companies need to consider. First, they must have a suitable destination that meets both work needs and the vacation experience. This includes booking accommodations that offer adequate work space, sometimes including meeting rooms or co-working spaces. In addition, companies need to think about logistics, such as airfare, train travel and local transportation. Finally, you need to think about the desired catering and appropriate group activities. Arranging transportation to and from the destination, as well as planning team building activities takes a lot of time. We can take all this off your hands and arrange it.
Balance between work and leisure
It is important to find balance between work and leisure during a workation. Although the purpose of a workation is to combine work and leisure, it is difficult to find the right balance. Companies must ensure that there is enough time for productive work, but also for relaxation and team-building activities. Planning a balanced schedule is challenging, especially when a large number of people are involved.
It is important to consider individual needs and preferences of team members. Some people work well in busy environments, while others need more peace and quiet to focus. It is important to provide flexibility and make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported during the workation.

A business trip in Valencia
Now you must be wondering what a workation looks like in practice. Valencia is a popular destination, so we’ll use that as an example. In this case, a team of 20 went on a workation in Spain. When planning a workation, there are a number of important considerations. First, it is important to choose the right accommodation and decide which country the destination will be. In addition, you need to consider how long the workation will last and when it is convenient in the schedule.
You can use the opportunity to brainstorm with your colleagues, hold strategic discussions and make business plans for the coming year. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss these important topics with each other in a casual setting. The program not only focuses on work, but also offers fun team-building activities. Think for example of a sporty hike accompanied by a local guide, a delicious tapas dinner and a breathtaking sailing trip in Valencia. There is plenty to do. You will also have plenty of free time to explore and have your own adventures.
In short, a corporate workation with the team is a great experience, but it requires more preparation than companies initially think. With careful planning, we can organize a successful workation that is both productive and enjoyable for the entire team.
