Staff Retreats
STAFF MEETINGS & TEAM RETREATS
SMA facilitates highly engaging and interactive all staff meetings and team retreats
.that harness the energy and power of bringing people together to realize
their part in the organisation’s story – past, present, and future.
We recognize that the loss of in-person connection has left a growing need and desire for people to re-engage and recommit to organisational visions. Using a design process that engages organisational leadership and teams, SMA works with you to collectively review strategic objectives, assess team performance, and identify what comes next. A key part of the process includes working to resolve any underlying issues that may be barriers to success and achieving High Team Performance Status.

Possible questions we work on with our clients:

- How does inclusivity become internal to our team culture as we increase the diversity of the team?
- What is the development that the team needs collectively?
- How do we need to improve team effectiveness?

- How do we heal rifts or issues in the past and present that are getting in our way?
