Are there any tips on organising a company retreat?
The key to a successful company retreat is how much you can engage and involve all team members in activities that promote teamwork and communication.

Additionally, incorporating structured activities and free time for socialising can help balance productivity and relaxation during the retreat. Also, Manchester has several hiking spots and parks, including Heaton Park and Clayton Vale, which can be fantastic options for outdoor activities or group challenges during the retreat.
