My 5 Beliefs for Company Offsites || 📸 from Fern's Fall 2025 Offsite 1/ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. The 5-hour drive from our office in Brooklyn to Lake Placid in Upstate New York was part of the bonding. 2/ 𝐆𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲. Three nights is the sweet spot. Long enough to feel immersed, short enough that everyone gets a full weekend afterward. 3/ 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞. Each dinner, we went around the table and answered a prompt, including: - What's an aspiration you have in life (big or small)? - What's something you've learned about someone else on this trip? - Where's a place that feels like home? 4/ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧. An offsite should feel like a reward for working hard on behalf of customers. All expenses paid is the way to do it. 5/ 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐢𝐭. Plan ahead by making branded merch and coordinating a group photoshoot. Check out the highlights! --- Shoutout to: - Nowadays (YC S23) thanks for planning the trip - Openhouse for the custom apparel
