Symptoms of awayday fatigue:
- Awaydays follow the same format, based around teambuilding games and experiential exercises which people enjoy but leave them feeling "so what?"
- People end the day feeling buoyant, but this quickly dissipates once everyone's back in the office
- A lot of action plans are drawn up, but nothing actually happens afterwards.
Our proposed treatment:
- First of all, you need a breath of fresh air. Our creative and media background means we naturally take an innovative view of the design of events, and we can come up with unpredictable but effective team activities
- You may need a stronger link to the business issues behind your awayday. We have 20 years' combined experience in business consultancy, which means we understand the practicalities of building the design of the awayday around a clear, measurable business outcome
- The event needs to be followed up and linked solidly back into the business. Senior management sponsorship and support will be necessary so that following up agreed actions becomes part of the team's job, not an 'ideal world' wish list.
