An away day is a fun way for a team of people to spend some time together outside the office. It has many positive implications for the company as well, letting staff members form new relationships and learn how to work together. It will also help people get to know what others in the office are like and how they might be able to work better together.

If you are tasked with organising the away day, here are some things to help:

• Think about what people will enjoy. An away day is not just about enjoyment but people will get more out of it if they like it. If people in the office are disabled, don’t have too many physical activities that would exclude them.
• Choose a convenient location. See what is available nearby and take inspiration from this.
• Speak to venues and organisers to see what they can offer.
