The benefits of a seminar in the countryside

It is well known that nature has a very positive effect on our health. In addition to freeing us from screens, it has a positive impact on our mind, body and even chemically, on our cells. More and more companies are choosing locations surrounded by nature for their seminars, but how can we explain this general craze?

A seminar in the countryside, a chance to recharge your batteries

A seminar in a natural setting is the perfect opportunity to offer your teams a chance to get away from it all and take a break from their daily routine. In addition to introducing them to a place they probably don’t know, your employees will be able to recharge their batteries and relax together. They will recharge their batteries, which will boost their motivation and strengthen their relationships with each other!

A seminar in the countryside for better communication

In this context of general relaxation, everything will be green lights for all positions within the company. Your teams will be more open to the messages you want to convey to them. And these messages will be gentler and probably better formulated. Away from the office and routine, codes change and the whole group is more flexible towards their peers.

A seminar in the countryside to boost creativity

Do you feel that your teams are exhausted and running out of ideas? Why not suggest that they escape for a day to an inspiring location? Far from their familiar surroundings and in perfect harmony with nature, revolutionary ideas may emerge. A seminar that breaks with the daily routine can be the perfect opportunity to start developing a new service or product. Chakras are more open, receptors more sensitive, and far from the codes of the office, speech is liberated and the fear of judgement is removed!

Team building in the great outdoors for maximum conviviality

Green seminars often involve access to large natural spaces. These become the ideal playground for your team-building activities: giant Olympic games, all kinds of local discoveries, outdoor games such as archery, outdoor laser tag or bubble football, and why not yoga classes in the great outdoors? There are a thousand and one ways to bring your teams closer together and build team spirit. You too can get creative and come up with games of your own. Looking to refresh your logo? Why not ask your teams to create a new one using only natural elements? Divide them into small teams and get them to compete against each other. They will have to work together towards the same goal, be creative, consult each other and listen to the group in order to come up with the best solution.

A moment of escape that also stimulates your corporate culture

For all the reasons mentioned above, it is highly likely that your teams will return from this experience organised by you more motivated than ever. The sense of belonging will naturally be stimulated and a feeling of attachment and gratitude will arise from these wonderful moments shared between colleagues.

Go further by offering a complete holiday experience in the heart of nature

If you have a little time and budget, you can go further and take a few days off with your team to fully recharge your batteries by completely disconnecting from everyday life. Sharing every moment of the day, from waking up to going to bed, is the best way to break the ice and create strong bonds between your employees! What’s more, the feeling of escape, of breaking away from everyday life and of belonging should be heightened, resulting in a generally good atmosphere in the office and, ultimately, improved productivity among your teams.
