Company outing
in Groningen
In a company that has grown fast, one half doesn't know the other. That isn't an atmosphere problem, it's a question of format. From €195 for the group.
When half of them have worked there for less than a year
A company that has doubled in a short time needs a company outing that's put together differently from an annual tradition. One half shares memories of how things used to be, the other half has no use for them and sometimes feels left out. A quiz with questions about the company's past only makes that worse. That's why we build tasks where experience and a fresh pair of eyes both count, so someone who's worked there for three months is needed just as much as someone from day one.
When you send your enquiry, tell us the balance between people who've worked there a long time and people who've just joined. That changes our choice of tasks more than group size does. Beyond that we only need a place to play, power and a rough idea of how many people are taking part. We're ready well before the start, so there's nothing left to arrange when the first people walk in. A compact format starts at €195.
Where it goes wrong with fast growth
- Stories from the past that leave half the group out
- Fixed groups forming around the old core
- New people who mainly just sit the day out
What we do differently
- Tasks where experience and a fresh pair of eyes both count
- Teams mixed by length of service instead of by department
- No activities that need knowledge of the past
Frequently asked questions
Half of our staff have worked here for less than a year. Will this work?
A lopsided balance between long-standing and new colleagues is exactly the reason to do something about it. We choose tasks where nobody has an advantage from length of service, and we mix the teams by how long people have worked there rather than by department.
How do you stop the old guard from deciding everything?
In our programmes, roles within a team rotate each round, so it isn't always the same person speaking. We also include activities where experience gives no advantage, and that naturally shifts the attention to whoever brings something new.
Do we need to tell you in advance who's new?
Names aren't needed, but the balance is. It's enough to tell us how many people have worked there for less than a year. We base our choice of tasks and the team split on that.
What does a company outing in Groningen cost?
It starts at €195 for a compact programme. Group size and duration decide what it ends up costing. You'll hear a firm figure as soon as we know what the day looks like, not a rough estimate.
