Corporate retreats reimagined, the Explore Sideways Discovery Breaks service is for companies looking to get their employees out of the office (or house) and immersed in exclusive experiences. A time to reconnect, build stronger relationships and explore new ideas. Whether you’re the brand team of a fashion company trying to figure out your annual campaigns or the management team of a travel agency looking to work on department budgets, we’ve got the perfect Discovery Breaks for you.
From multi-day adventures to a single day packed with activities, our Discovery Breaks take you to private locations and venues that’ll leave you wondering why you ever had an office in the first place. All you need to do is rally up your team and Explore Sideways will take care of the rest.
Why Do You Need a Break?
To Brainstorm
Escape the distractions of city life to brainstorm areas of your business that you’d like to improve. Sometimes all we need is a change of scenery (and possibly an incredible view) to get our brains ticking and ideas flowing. Take the time to let your minds wander and to develop exciting new ideas.
To Inspire
Let’s be honest, the day-to-day chug of work life can sometimes leave us a little weathered. And so often all it takes is a single video, podcast or pep-talk to reignite our passions and inspire us to keep on keeping on. This is a time to boost your team’s morale and leave them feeling inspired.
To Connect
Loving where you work often means enjoying the people you work with. Discovery Breaks is the perfect opportunity to get to know your colleagues on a more personal level, even if it is just knowing how they like to drink their coffee. Form new relationships, build on existing ones and show your appreciation for each other.
To Create
Whether it’s putting together the perfect work flow with sticky notes or grabbing a brush and painting a picture, Walt Disney knew what he was talking about when he said “the way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” Take the big ideas you’ve been thinking about for ages and get creating.
Please Note
In light of COVID-19, extreme measures have been put into place to ensure that every aspect of these experiences has undergone strict quality control measures. This includes testing all persons involved, sanitising all vehicles used, sanitising all venues and facilities, and implementing social distancing practices where necessary.
What You’ll Discover…
Guest Speakers
Nothing inspires people more than a speaker with an incredible story. Whether it’s getting a speaker to join you and your team on your Discovery Break or dialling them in on a zoom call, sit back and be inspired.
Live Performances
We weren’t joking when we said these breaks are corporate retreats reimagined. Enjoy an acoustic set while watching the sunset or get your toes tapping to one of your favourite artists. We’ll match you with the perfect performance.
Private Locations
From vineyard villas to seaside setups, we’ll find you the ideal location that promises gorgeous views, but most importantly, privacy from the rest of the world. Fancy brainstorming in a forest or alongside a pool? You got it!
Team-Building Activities
The options really are endless but don’t worry, we’ll figure out what will suit you and your team best. Blend your own wine, have the ultimate cook-off or hit a game of boules – challenge accepted.
Private Guide & Transport
Whether you are doing a single or multi-day Discovery Break, you’ll be joined by one of our professional specialist guides who will transport you throughout your experience in their private, sanitised vehicle.
Quality Controlled Facilities
Your health and safety is our top priority. Every measure will be put in place to ensure that our corporate retreats are safe – no matter where you go, what you do or who you are with. We have you covered.
