We recently joined forces with the beautiful Wootton Park Weddings & Events Venue, to accommodate a team of 60 from the NFU Mutual. They wanted to run a Team Away Day, incorporating some business activities during the morning and a focus on wellbeing in the afternoon.
The guests spent the morning at Venue 2010, to enjoy a hot buffet breakfast upon arrival and a two-course lunch, with meetings and an Internal Awards Ceremony in between.
The delegates were then split into smaller groups and met by members of the Wellness Team, to participate in their chosen wellbeing activities.
Each team member had been given the option of taking part in two activities during the afternoon. These included:
- Introduction to Forest Bathing in the Wootton Park woods
- Restorative Yoga with Anthony at his onsite Yoga Studio
- Gong Bath at the Wellness Yurt
- Massage & Hot Tubs
After the activities concluded, the team reassembled back at 2010 for a final wrap up, hot drinks and cakes.
As you can imagine, the programme required quite a bit of co-ordinating and organising to ensure everybody knew what they were doing!
We have been informed by the NFU Mutual that it was a big success and they are grateful for all the input from the Wellness Team, before and during the event.
It’s really heartwarming to see large corporate companies embrace employee wellbeing in this way and support them to take some time out, to focus on connecting with themselves and their colleagues.
