New
Forest Activities has launched a workshop to help companies reconnect staff who
have been cut off from each other by months of lockdown working or furlough, in
the beautiful New Forest
The
“Back to Business” sessions, organised by Hampshire based New Forest
Activities, has been created for companies regrouping, reconnecting and refocusing,
after months of working remotely after lockdown.
They
are held in private woodland in the New Forest, and blend business strategy
with teambuilding activities such as kayaking on the Beaulieu River.
Bespoke
workshops enable employers to reset their business and team, combining business
strategy with confidence-building activities such as canoeing, kayaking, rope
swings and bushcraft.
Employers
can now offer their staff a team building workshop that’s more white water than
whiteboard.
Designed
specifically for SMEs with under 50 staff, the bespoke workshops are held in
private woodland in the heart of the New Forest National Park. Tailored to each
company, they include sessions on business strategy, goal setting and
rebuilding trust between team members who may not have met for months.
But
they’re more than just a brainstorm with a breath of fresh air thrown in. The
centre’s trained coaches are on hand to integrate a host of fun activities into
proceedings, including canoeing and kayaking on the idyllic Beaulieu River.
Nestled
under a woodland canopy rather than an airless conference room, sessions can
also include confidence-building activities on rope swings as well an
introduction to bushcraft survival skills.
Whatever
activity the group chooses, the aim is the same – to help teams forced apart by
lockdown to regroup, refresh and refocus on the business’s priorities.
New
Forest Activities’ business coaches use a technique called the ‘Five steps to
clarity’, that helps participants identify the mindset they need to succeed,
including the what, why, who and how they will do it.
Sam
Sutton, director and founder of New Forest Activities, says: “Every strong
business has a strong team at its core. Our Back to Business sessions have been
designed to do two things at once; they help teams bond and build, and help
businesses identify what success should look like, and how to get there.
“Businesses
across Britain have been left shell-shocked by the pandemic and the stress of
adapting to the ‘new normal’. No-one should underestimate how hard it is for
business leaders to recalibrate their company goals, or for staff to readjust
after months spent working apart or on furlough.
“That’s
why we created ‘Back to Business’ – bespoke sessions in our pristine woodland
where teams can get away from their business to focus on what really matters
for the business as a whole. By giving people the headspace to think clearly –
and the chance to have great fun while doing it – our aim is to send them back
to work more focused, more productive and more motivated.”
