Team Off-Site or Retreat Planning

Project details

What we need
  • A detailed agenda for the team event, including a rundown of content and activities
  • A project plan that itemizes the key steps and timelines for preparation and logistical considerations, such as travel and accommodations, catering needs, guest speakers, session content development, and materials
  • A communication plan to attendees including themes, goals, logistics and any preparation participants should consider before the event
  • A draft budget showing any known costs associated with the team event
Additional details

Just to clarify - we do not need all of the above deliverables. I'm soliciting ideas, guidance, materials and other items that make for a great professional development experience. We can handle the rest in-house.

What we have in place
  • We're scheduling 4, day-long mini retreats for our management staff. In this, we hope to tackle some larger professional development topics while also (covid-19 pending) bringing our managers from across our 20,000 squre mile region together. I'm looking for creative and innovative ways to engage 20-30 managers in topics like crucial conversations, time mgmt, burn-out, staff mgmt, etc. We're a $40m federally qualified health center in northern WI/so very rural with 12 clinics and 380 staff.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,686 , allowing us to serve more patients. Every dollar we don't invest in overhead, goes directly to patient care and expanding services.

COVID-19 and virtual everything has made our team a bit more fragmented and exhausted. We're also continuing to do some acquisitions so bringing on new clinics/cultures to our organization. Trying to balance ambitious growth, global pandemic and while our mgmt team has a lot of long-timers, we also have quite a few new managers in the mix.
