A company trip is a great way to bring your colleagues together and give your team an experience outside of the daily workplace. Taking a trip with your team can offer many benefits, not only on a personal level but also professionally. Especially if you make it a corporate workstation, where you work from a different location for several days. Here are five reasons why you should go on a trip with your team as a company retreat.
1. Team building during a trip abroad
Traveling with your team offers a unique opportunity to build relationships and strengthen mutual trust. During the trip, team members get to know each other better, in a relaxed atmosphere. This helps improve cooperation and communication between colleagues. In addition, challenging activities during the trip, such as adventure games or sporting events, can generate team spirit and promote team problem-solving skills.

2. Strategic sessions during your team outing
A corporate trip/workation provides the ideal setting for strategic sessions and deep-dive discussions and brainstorming sessions. It is precisely in an informal setting that the best conversations occur. Away from daily distractions, teams can focus on discussing company goals, strategies and plans for the future. This can lead to new insights and fresh ideas that benefit the company. It is an opportunity to think out-of-the-box and find innovative solutions.
3. Boosting image with workations
A well-planned corporate trip can contribute to the company’s image, both internally and externally. It shows that the company values the well-being and growth of its employees. This leads to a positive corporate image, which in turn can help attract new talent and retain experienced employees. Curious about a suitable location for your corporate workout?

4. A company workout as an incentive/reward
A trip with the team can act as a reward for hard work and dedication. It can increase employee motivation, leading to higher productivity and engagement at work. In addition, employees feel appreciated and recognized for their efforts, which can lead to a better work atmosphere. You can even choose to give the company workation as a reward when certain targets are met. There are even teams that are told at the beginning of the year that the reward for goals achieved is to go on one of these unique company outings abroad together.
5. Celebrate an anniversary with a unique company outing
A company trip can also be a perfect way to celebrate special occasions, such as a company anniversary or an important milestone. This gives the team a chance to reflect together on the company’s achievements and be proud of what they have accomplished. It creates a sense of community and belonging, which is essential for a positive company culture. Especially if you are in a special place abroad, you can celebrate an anniversary well. This will definitely impress your colleagues. Rent a beautiful villa and open a bottle of champagne by the pool, or arrange a nice dinner at an impressive place (we can do this for you as well). This will definitely be an experience that people will remember for a long time. Need help organizing your unique corporate event abroad?

Review of IT Efficiency, CEO – Marieke van Gent
“Alieke helped us super in putting together our trip. She made sure that we were offered a super varied program and top accommodation. A workation has really been a valuable experience for our team and we highly recommend it. The combination of half-day work and half-day activities and working on team building has really been so good for us. A different environment, seeing each other in a different light and a few days of really being together as a team has strengthened our bond. Thank you Alieke, for unburdening us and taking care of everything down to the last detail!”
So a company workout with your team is much more than just a fun company outing. It is an investment in the growth and well-being of your team and company. It improves team dynamics, promotes strategic planning and strengthens the bond between team members, ultimately leading to more successful results for the company.
