Bring Remote Employees Together

We all know the advantages of working remotely. You’ve probably seen the photos of employees wearing suits and ties or fancy blouses on the top and shorts or jammies with flip-flops on the bottom for Zoom meetings. Working from home also saves time on commuting, money on gas and car maintenance and, typically, stress. No trying to avoid annoying co-workers or losing the lunch you put in the breakroom fridge.

The downside? The loss of human validation people get from social interaction. Studies have shown that isolation can lead to insomnia, depression and even cognitive decline. Research also has found a lack of human connection can significantly increase the chances of death. And more people than ever have identified themselves as “lonely” since COVID-19 and its restrictions hit.

Obviously, the above negative sides of working remotely easily can affect production, loyalty and work ethic. What is a conscientious employer to do? If you’d like to bring your remote employees together in a positive and productive way, we can help. With several corporate wellness retreats to choose from, you can offer your remote staff a way to reconnect and develop the camaraderie and confidence that can go a long way to enhancing job satisfaction.

We offer several options, from one day to several days, ranging from a thorough introduction to San Francisco from a savvy local’s point of view to a trek into the desolate Yosemite National Park wilderness, away from phones. We also can customize retreats to your specification, within reason. Our guides are experienced, knowledgeable, personable and well versed in bringing out the best in people.

There’s remote working and then there’s remote people. We can help you promote the former and avoid the latter. It’s the 21st century way of doing business, but it doesn’t have to lead to disenchanted employees.
