PROGRAMME PREVIEW -

Reaffirm progressive and collective team growth and development, fortified by stronger communication, connection and sustained healthy wellbeing behaviours and attitudes on a Corporate Retreat with Balance Holidays. A programme leveraging Balance Holidays’ distinctive retreat design principles, that brings a global network of extraordinary destinations with world-class leadership coaches, wellbeing experts and nutrient-focused, field-to-fork cuisine.

From a blend of highly-focused group workshops and executive masterclasses to one-to-one wellbeing sessions and outdoor-based activities. By introducing a strengths-based practice at work, research from the field of positive organisational scholarship extensively shows the benefits on performance and wellbeing. The Harvard Business Review describes the benefits of individuals understanding their strengths at work to help them respond better to feedback, find purpose and become more engaged in the work that allows them to thrive. Further research published in the Journal of Happiness Studies highlights that using strengths at work allows people to feel that work is a calling and also increases life satisfaction, a common measure of wellbeing. A Gallup study conducted across 45 countries and including over a million employees found strengths interventions increase engagement and profit while reducing turnover and safety incidents. A clear identification of not only individual benefits but organisational advantages too.
