AWAY DAY ONE

OVERVIEW OF THE DAY:

Every team benefits from taking a day away from the office to reflect on how it works and develop both personal and team strategies for achieving their goals in a more sustainable manner – making the workplace a healthier and happier place to be.

During this day we will be exploring issues around personal and team effectiveness with the aim of working together to develop the team ethos and ensure a wiser working environment for all.
