Companies like Automattic and Buffer have frequent all-company retreats in exotic destinations around the world. Moving hundreds of team members from all over the globe to one locale for a company retreat is a pretty awesome feat of logistics. Just figuring out how many pizzas to order requires some form of advanced calculus! But what if you don’t have those deep venture-backing-lined pockets? What if even getting one person on your team to work part-time on planning would be a massive strain on your people power? That’s the reality of planning a company retreat for a small, scrappy, bootstrapped team.
The good news is that it is possible to hold a fantastic event for your team without breaking the bank or skipping sleep for the months leading up to the retreat. It takes some common sense, and probably more elbow grease than those Silicon Valley folks need to apply, but it’s definitely doable.
Disclaimer: This guide is intended for teams of 5-25. I’m not sure that any of this scales beyond that, so if you’re working in a corporation of 800 and are looking for helpful retreat planning tips, your mileage will vary with this particular piece of content.
