PLANNING YOUR COMPANY RETREAT?
Say “company retreat” at the office, and suddenly employees cringe imagining stuffy conference rooms and mind-numbing lectures. If you want a new way to motivate a team, try “play” first and “work” second. The trick lies in balancing productive meetings and social merriment.
We specialize in group training sessions with experienced facilitators in great surroundings.
Anything goes and the possibilities are endless. Enjoy culinary team building with our culinary arts faculty. Let’s face it, food does bring people together.
Call the Centre for Continuing Studies to help you plan your next retreat, 1-866-734-6252 or email us at ccs@viu.ca
