Team outings or corporate retreats have become a common thing in most offices today. All year round, organizations make their employees work hard. There is immense pressure to meet targets and deliver within deadlines. Employees often work non-stop without taking any breaks for months on end. This can lead to mental fatigue and tiredness, and sometimes even job frustration. These company outings are organized so employees get a chance to relax for a short weekend.

Too much pressure at work can create a negative work environment for some people. In few instances, it can lead to friction between team members. There are many corporate team building events near Kolkata that are organized by companies where employees can bond with their colleagues. These events give employees an opportunity to interact with their co-workers in a more causal environment, which can help to improve their inter-personal relations. Organizations arrange these corporate retreats to promote team building, in addition to giving them a break from work.

The ideal location for a company outing is any holiday resort in the city. Most of these resorts offer recreational activities which gives employees the opportunity to engage in some fun and games. Resorts in Kolkata have modern amenities such as swimming pool, cricket pitch, football ground, badminton court, indoor games room, spas, restaurants and bars. Employees can relax some leisurely time by the pool or the spa. Companies can organize cricket matches, badminton games or a table tennis or carom tournament to encourage team building activities. There are also adventure activities like kayaking, archery, rifle shooting, trampoline, zipline, friendship ladder, rope course, zoomering and zorbing. By taking part in such fun activities, employees get a well-deserved break from work responsibilities. At the end of the company retreat, employees return back to work with renewed energy and fresh vigor.

Almost every resort in the city also has state-of-the-art conference rooms available. These meeting rooms huge and spacious and can accommodate a large size of people without it feeling too over crowded. They are perfect for hosting any corporate event, including a training workshop, shareholders’ meeting or a business conference. The conference rooms are all air conditioned. They are equipped with basic facilities like Wi-Fi connection, audio-visual projectors, screens, adaptors, power cables, multiple charging sockets, white boards, markers, etc.  

If a certain workshop or conference is planned for more than a day, these city resorts also provide accommodation to the business delegates. Companies can get substantial discount on accommodation services if bulk booking is done in advance. If there are delegates coming from out of the town, staying so close to the conference location is easier.  If the event is only for a day, it can be expected that most attendees will come to the venue in personal vehicles. Hence, the resorts must provide free and secure parking to all the visitors.

When choosing a location for corporate event or outing, organizations must pick a venue with quality food and catering services. Everyone expects good food at a business affair. Therefore, companies must ensure that food available at the resort is of good quality.
