Booking a walking holiday as part of a corporate getaway
When you run a business and you’re doing well, your revenue is soaring and your profits are healthy, you may want to treat your employees to say thank you. Some employees will thank everyone by giving everyone a present, such as a voucher. Others may turn to bonuses in their employee’s pay cheques, whilst another popular idea is to book a corporate getaway.
Corporate getaways are great, as it gives everyone in the company a chance to bond and spend some quality time together outside of a working environment. It also helps improve communication within the team and produces a better culture within your business.
The getaway can be anything from a skiing trip to a beach break or a walking holiday – which we would like to focus on in this article as a walking holiday offers many benefits. Companies like Orbis Ways specialise in hiking trips, where you can spend the week exploring many wonderful destinations.
Below we look into some of the benefits a walking holiday offers as part of a corporate getaway.
Team bonding
First, one major benefit of a walking holiday is the perfect team bonding scenario. You’ll be outside, taking on the different terrains, and enjoying the incredible landscapes, all without your phone. Your employees will have plenty of time to talk, get to know each other and really spend some quality time, without the distraction or stresses of work. A trip can be booked for as long as you require, whether that’s a few days, a week or two weeks. Orbis Way, in particular, has many great reviews, if you are looking for a reputable provider.
Stress relief
A walking holiday in nature takes you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Being away from your working environment and outside, is a great way to decompress and reduce your stress levels. If your employees work in a high-level stress environment, like sales, a working holiday can help them relax and return to work, ready to be firing on all cylinders again. A walking holiday offers an unforgettable experience which your employees will remember for a very long time.
Fitness
It will come as no surprise that a walking holiday will help your fitness. You’ll be working all your muscles as well as your cardiovascular system as you get your heart rate up and your blood pumping around the body. Each day you will burn hundreds of calories, which is very useful if you are trying to lose some weight. If you are signing your company up for a walking holiday, it is advised that you give them plenty of time to train for it. That being said, different routes have different difficulty levels, so speak to a specialist at Orbis Ways if you want to know what routes are best for your company.
A walking holiday offers so many benefits that our list could keep on going. We hope the above three points have given you some insight into why you should book one as part of your corporate getaway.
