A workation with your team can be thought of as a next level company outing. We all know the usual team outing. You go from one activity to another, there is a lot of partying and you come home demolished. Nice, but it can be different. Put your laptop in your bag, take just a little more time and get down to business with each other. Then a company workout offers more added value. You have a great time with your colleagues, strengthen the connection and create an unforgettable (work) experience. This is exactly what The Audit Generation did. Officemanger Caroline describes her experience in this blog. We are an accounting firm with the ambition to be the most social and innovative accounting organization in the Netherlands. At The Audit Generation we are therefore always looking for new, creative and special activities and work outings to stimulate job satisfaction and support a good work-life balance for our team. For example, via LinkedIn we came in contact with Alieke from Working Remotely for a company trip.
But where to go, how many days to go, won’t work suffer and how can we also at the same time give our employees an incredible experience and stimulation in this particular job market? Arranging flights, rental cars and accommodations ourselves and having all the responsibility for such a large group in a country whose language we barely speak, not to mention the Wifi connection (as long as it works well 😉 ) + that of course it is also a considerable financial investment. Alieke specializes in organizing corporate workouts for large groups. She has by visiting the locations locally (really checking the Wifi connection) and making the arrangements, with the local contacts, the most important things already super arranged. Alieke is very friendly and really helps you think of all the details. After a pleasant and intensive preparation with Alieke, we flew from 3 different airports, with a total of 24 people, for 5 days, to Valencia and could settle in two beautiful and beautifully located villas! There were plenty of workplaces, good internet connection everywhere and 2 large swimming pools where we could relax. Would you also like to go on a company workation with your team? Check out the locations for your workation here and get inspiration for your company trip. Working Remotely is happy to help you provide an unforgettable experience for your team.
We had a great split between working during the day and fun activities like bike tour, tapas dinner and a sporty hike at the end of the day and evening. We, The Audit Generation, highly recommend booking a corporate workout through Alieke of Working Remotely to anyone! There is so much more to it and Alieke knows it. She makes sure you are taken care of and that everyone in the company, from Office Manager to partner, can relax on this special trip. So if you are still in doubt, just contact Alieke and be an employer who finds this investment for their staff more than worth it. You won’t regret it and it will only improve your place in the job market.
Take a bicycle tour of Valencia
After a good day’s work, all of us in the three rental vans set off for the fortunately Dutch-speaking and very understanding tour guide Guusje. We divided into two groups, on a means of transportation that was familiar to us: the bicycle :). In a relaxed atmosphere and certainly not in a hurry we went to see Valencia, great! Afterwards the guide brought us to the restaurant where we could enjoy a typical Spanish tapas dinner. All neatly pre-arranged. We recommend this to everyone. You do something active and see really nice places of the beautiful city.
Sports activity in nature
What more active and fun thing are we going to do for our young and athletic team? A hike or something more like d. Well it became a hike with something extra namely the canyoning part. We were personally picked up at the villa by our guide. Because of his experience and precisely mapped out route he led us along some very beautiful natural places. While climbing over rocky paths you suddenly came to a beautiful waterfall, which really gave an oasis of tranquility and provided cooling on this hot day.
