It's Time for Post-Pandemic Law Firm Retreats
After two years of cancelled, postponed or virtualized versions, in-person retreats are finally back. In late January after the post-holiday Omicron surge, I spoke at a retreat held in a lovely resort in Florida. It was interesting to experience post pandemic preparations and procedures. After the usual planning questions surrounding content and audio-visual needs there was a set of questions around COVID safety and procedures. Aside from those it was business as usual. After a two-year hiatus it's time to refresh ourselves on why and how to run a safe and healthy in-person retreat.
Why?
Does your firm want a retreat to reconnect with each other, to tackle business issues, or a combination of both? You need to understand the rationale for the retreat before you start making any arrangements. If top management does not have a clear vision for the retreat, then all the efforts will be misguided, and you will start and stop multiple times. The goal is for people to walk away with a memorable and valuable experience. One goal that should be on the list is for those attorneys who joined during the remote work period meet and break bread with their new colleagues.
