Make your summer team-building day a success with Surrey Hills Yurts
Let’s face it, the sun puts us all in a better mood. The days are brighter, warmer and longer and we all tend to be a little happier. Is it any wonder that summer makes a great time to arrange a corporate team-building day at Surrey Hills Yurts?
Thanks to our enviable location in the beautiful Surrey Hills, just one hour outside of London, you’ll find nature in abundance when you visit us with your team in the summer months. With wildflowers and green blossoming everywhere, it’s a serene, relaxing location where everyone can let go of distractions and focus on building stronger bonds, improving communication and developing trust – with no office walls, desks or harsh neon lighting required!
Aside from getting back to nature and helping everyone unwind and get on that bit better, here are just a few of the ways to make your summer team-building day a success this year
Get participant buy-in
For a team-building day to be successful, you need everyone to be fully engaged and happy to be there. Getting buy-in doesn’t have to be a massive chore either, you just need everyone to be open-minded and willing to have a day away from their to-do lists.
To make things easy, we suggest a group email inviting the required team members to attend a fun, invigorating day in the beautiful Surrey Hills. Outline the activities planned for the day and pinpoint the benefits to team members. Will they come away working better as a unit, with new skills, stronger bonds, better communication or just more relaxed after working hard? Make them eager to participate by spelling out what the benefit is to them
Introduce the location
Because our location is naturally so picturesque, we find that many teams really look forward to escaping the office and being out in the fresh air and wonderful scenery we’re blessed with. Share a link to our website and highlight the breathtaking location along with our facilities
Create a schedule for the day
Of course, you want to make the most of your team-building day so it helps to plan. Don’t try and fit too much in. Think about what your desired outcome is after a day with us and try and focus on that specific objective. Our range of team building day activities is diverse – from archery and foraging to yoga, outdoor cooking classes, woodland feast experiences, axe throwing to fire walking, paddle boarding to cocktail making, you are spoilt for choice. Most activities are suitable for everyone but, if you have special considerations, we’re here to help and can help you devise a suitable itinerary, select appropriate team activities and advise you on what to choose to help you achieve your desired outcomes for the day.
Don’t forget the importance of fuel!
You want everyone to be fully engaged in the day’s activities so remember you’ll need to leave a good chunk of time to eat through the day. We can take care of all food and refreshments, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you’re staying overnight with us to get off the grid and reinvigorate your team, we can even arrange for a private chef to cook for you a Woodland Feast, adding a real sense of luxury to your occasion.
We’d love to help you make your team-building event a success, whether you want to get back to nature for the day or lose yourself in our hidden corner of beautiful Surrey for a couple of days, experiencing our full range of fun activities, delicious food and awesome accommodation for yourself.
