How to choose fun activities for a company seminar?

Relaxation, moments of learning and the achievement of a specific objective are all promises made by a corporate seminar. If you're looking for recreational activities to make these promises a reality, you've come to the right place.

Company seminars are often eagerly awaited by staff all year round. It's an ideal time to announce big news and strengthen team spirit. Would you like to make your company seminar unforgettable? If so, here are a few team-building activities to make it unforgettable.

Building a good teambuilding program: an interesting challenge

What activities will I offer my staff for this teambuilding seminar? Every year, this question haunts many managers in their quest for the perfect program of activities. And with good reason: the success of a corporate seminar depends enormously on the activities on offer.

A poor choice of activities can compromise the objective of bringing the team together and leave participants with bad memories.

The corporate seminar, a step aside to gather around a common goal

A company seminar is a special moment for everyone, including employees, managers and decision-makers.

The reason these events are so popular is that they can help achieve a whole host of objectives:

• Take stock of the company over the past period and open up new horizons for future projects.
• Facilitate the integration of new team members
• Announcing a change of course or important news
• Launch a new product or service within the company... etc.

In addition to these specific objectives, all corporate seminars have the common goal of strengthening cohesion and team spirit within the company. And to achieve this, the choice of fun and educational activities offered to staff is crucial.

Why is it difficult to choose a program of activities?

You've defined the objectives of your seminar and found the ideal venue for it, but you're struggling to find the right program of activities for your company seminar. All managers are familiar with this difficulty, for two reasons:

• Your employees have different profiles, so it's hard to find an activity that everyone can get behind.
• It's hard to find activities that reflect your company's values

To help you draw up your activity program, here's a list of things to think about.

Activities to make your seminar a success

To be sure of generating enthusiasm among the participants in your corporate seminar, here are a few activities to focus on.

Fun activities: the best values

Over time, the managers we work with have been able to experiment with a wide range of activities. Some of these have proved effective in almost every situation:

• Water sports: nothing beats a boat trip, kitesurfing or scuba diving for a complete change of scenery.
• Outdoor activities: explore the Camargue salt marshes, meet the Camargue bulls and horses.
• A visit to a nature reserve: if you want to immerse your team in a moment of relaxation in the heart of a verdant landscape, this activity is perfect.

Thanks to these activities, you can be sure that your team members will share unforgettable, convivial moments.

But you can go further, and demonstrate your company's commitment to the environment with a few well-chosen activities.

New employee expectations: how to integrate CSR into your business program?

Protecting the environment is now one of the criteria used to select candidates and retain employees. And indeed, the seminar is an ideal opportunity to demonstrate your company's commitment to the environment.

Fortunately, you can do so through a variety of ecologically-oriented activities. Here's a non-exhaustive list:

• Visiting local retailers who work in short circuits, or use very little packaging: this can turn into an excuse to buy souvenirs.
• A bike or horse ride in the heart of nature: contemplate lush vegetation, wander through unspoilt wildlife... two pleasures that will make your seminar feel like a vacation. Perfect for an ecological activity.
• A litter-picking session on the beaches around the hotel: with specialized guides who will lend your teams specific equipment and lead a discussion on biodiversity and respect for the environment. A popular activity, even if our beaches are a little too clean - which gives them time to ask questions.
