Staff and Team Away Days

 

We can facilitate your Staff or Team ‘Away Day’ and have experience of working with larger groups, as well as smaller teams.

Our approach and offer

We’ll work closely with you to ensure the day achieves your business outcomes and strikes the right tone for your audience. Depending on your outcomes, we can incorporate some, or all, of the following tools and techniques into the session: Team Diagnostics or Psychometrics, Live Polling, Group Activities on Live Business Challenges or a Hackathon.

Contact us for an exploratory chat to discuss your needs. 

Examples of our recent work in this area: 

  • All Staff Conference (140 people) for a public sector client to: improve communication and working practices; increase collaboration; and create an increased sense of connection with the organisation and colleagues for its hybrid workers
  • A High-Performing Board Workshop for a legal sector client to navigate a transition in the make-up of the Board and ensure the Board continues to effectively support and challenge the Exec Team as it embarks on a new business plan
  • Hackathon for the Technology Team of a Financial Services business to hack ideas for effective team-working for colleagues split across multiple sites
  • Facilitating an All Partner Conference for a law firm to raise individual and collective awareness, facilitate effective communication and team-working and successfully navigate live business challenge

Sweetmans and Partners facilitated an excellent session at our all staff conference focussed on developing an understanding of personality types and preferences with a view to establishing better ways of working together. The team exercises were engaging and thought provoking and the facilitators were both warm and professional.

We were already working in partnership with Sweetmans on a strategic L&D project. So, it made sense to invite them to facilitate our Partner Conference too. They delivered a fun, insightful and useful session which enabled us to celebrate the power of difference, play to our strengths, improve communication and use different lenses to solve live business challenges.”
