Choose the Right Location
Consider factors such as travel time, accommodations, and the availability of meeting spaces and recreational activities.
Team-building exercises, workshops, and outdoor activities can effectively build trust and communication among team members.
The schedule should include all activities, meals, breaks, and free time for attendees to relax and recharge. Build enough time for each activity, allowing flexibility in case of unexpected events or delays.
