Through seminars, we exchanged valuable insights and aligned on company strategy, while dedicated work sessions brought fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to client projects. Leisure activities strengthened team bonds, and gamification throughout all activities added a fun, competitive element, making the experience both productive and memorable.

Impact

The SI Camp delivered impactful results, fostering growth at both individual and team levels:

The concept

Our annual mid-year team retreat is a cornerstone of our commitment to team development and strategic growth. This unique workation blends professional seminars, time for our customer projects work, and team building activities, fostering a perfect balance between work and leisure.

Our approach

The retreat is designed to bring everyone together, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose. By gathering the entire team, we create an environment that encourages open communication, ideas exchange, and mutual support. This is crucial for building a cohesive team that can tackle challenges effectively and innovate continuously.

Our methods

We employ a blend of storytelling and gamification to engage team members effectively.

Storytelling

This method helps make complex topics more accessible and ensures that key messages are retained. By framing our whole retreat around a narrative, we can make the seminars more engaging and memorable. This year's company theme, "Journey of Transformation," was woven into every aspect of the retreat, reinforcing our strategic goals and vision in a compelling, impactful way.

Gamification

To further engage team members, we introduced the "SkySmiles Club." In this internally developed concept and application, team members could earn points for their engagement and achievements during seminars and other activities. These points were tracked in real-time in their personal accounts, which they could access via a QR code on their physical SkySmiles cards. The collected points could be exchanged for travel-themed rewards in our SkySmiles Shop. This added a fun and competitive element to the learning experience, making participation more exciting and motivating.

Outcome

The retreat provided a multifaceted experience that balanced professional development, strategic planning, and team bonding. Here are the top three outcomes:

The success of the retreat is reflected in the heightened team cohesion and the collective enthusiasm towards our goals. The combination of insightful seminars, productive work sessions, and invigorating outdoor activities created an environment where learning, collaboration, and relaxation thrived together. The memories created and knowledge gained during the retreat continue to inspire and drive our team as we face new challenges.

“The combination of work, learning, and fun made this retreat not only productive but unforgettable. The SkySmiles Club gamification really motivated everyone!”
