Offsite

Did you remember?! Ba-du-da-do....Ba-du-da-do!

One of my absolute favorite things to do is create meaningful employee moments and my oh my did we have one with ChangeEngine last week for our yearly company offsite! We brought the entire team together (US, Mexico, and UK) to Orlando for wonderful H2 planning and team building at Nasa and Disney World. Meeting an astronaut and seeing a rocket launch in the midst of sharing our contributions in H1/plans for H2 was a moment I don't think any of us will forget! As a fully remote employee supporting a mainly remote global team, I was pleasantly surprised to feel the excited energy from the moment people saw each other despite the fact some of us only knew each other by way of a few zoom calls and slack messages. It quickly became a true moment of connection and belonging together as if we had known each other forever. That is a testament to the culture we are cultivating at ChangeEngine and the vision we have for our product as we continue to build employee-centric moments and content. Employee moments like these are SO important and I am so grateful we have such a wonderful team who made it a magical experience for everyone. (plus our platform REALLY helped me manage the planning and execution to ensure employees had all the information they needed at the right time with the best branding courtesy of our amazing team! #shamelessplug). And a thank you to Offsite for helping with all of the logistics! Made my job easy! #changeengine #havefunbewelldogood #employeeexperience #employeemoments #changemakers #teambuilding #peopleexperience

In related news, Offsite is looking for a Gen Z’er with rizz to yeet our socials, no cap. It’s giving opportunity of a lifetime to build a category-defining brand with us in corporate travel. If you had a Brat Summer and are now looking for the side hustle equivalent of Travis Kelce to your meme lord, influence peddling Taylor Swift vibes, then slide into our DMs. All facts, no printer. Thanks fam. 😂

If done right, offsites can be really powerful. Think higher team morale, better brainstorming, and well-documented plans for upcoming projects. But done wrong, and you'll have nothing to show for it. We asked Jared Kleinert, Founder and CEO of Offsite, what companies often get wrong with offsite planning. His take: overpacking the agenda. Listen to the full podcast to learn more about how to get started with offsite planning, setting goals, and how to really measure offsite success. 🎙 https://lnkd.in/gezexndm #eventledgrowth #internalevents #b2bmarketing #marketingstrategy #eventmarketing

Here are some shocking stats on "back to office" policies... TLDR - it can be incredibly harmful to your company's ability to recruit, engage, and retain top talent... ⤵ Here are a few stats ⤵ 👉 About 42% of companies with #returntooffice mandates suffered more employee attrition. 👉 Almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling the most with recruitment. 👉 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules. 👉 Employees from historically underrepresented groups are 22% more likely to consider other options if flexibility comes to an end. 👉 80% of bosses regret their initial return to office decisions and say they would have approached their plans differently. 👉 21% of those requiring workers to return said they lost “key” members of staff. 👉 54% of hybrid or remote workers would consider finding a new job if their employers demanded full-time return to the office. 👉 Only about 3% of employees want to return to the office five days a week. Don't be one of these companies. Go remote or hybrid, and plan regular team retreats instead when you need to reconnect your team in-person. We can help at offsite. com
