Event Management 28 Tips For Planning A Corporate Retreat By EventMB Studio Team October 16 2018 Regardless of your budget plan the best corporate retreat to find the perfect combination of fun team building and work epiphanies Contrary to popular belief corporate retreats are not just for team building and enhancing work relationships they are also for improving morale strategizing and creating a working environment that can give your team a boost That being said one of the most enjoyable aspects is the fun and games that often lend to new perspectives and evolving together but finding the balance is important These tips will help you plan the ideal retreat where everyone works hard but no one feels like it Know The Goal Before starting the planning you need to understand the motivations behind the retreat Perhaps the team is in need of a morale boost needs to be more cohesive ideas have gone stale or your brand needs some specific injection of knowledge or skill Knowing the goal of the retreat is the first foundation of planning and can allow you to organise the perfect retreat with the goal in mind Advertisement Cater To Introverts Everyone is different and you will undoubtedly have both introverts and extroverts on your team and while a retreat is exciting for the latter the former can dread it For an introvert retreats are draining but you can do some things to ensure they are catered for for example have silent games or get people to write answers down rather than rely on them speaking out This way everyone will be more comfortable with the prospect of going Check The Tech Even the most laid back corporate retreats require some work which means you will need either reliable internet projection facilities conference calling or other technical capabilities so ensure that you check the venue and destination for their tech specifications before booking Also check the phone signal strength for the area too Unless you want everyone to be completely cut off from civilisation Work is important but so is scheduling in some unstructured free time for your attendees Allow them to see the sights shop or visit the local nightlife and it will pay off in the boardroom later Particularly if you are staying together it can be a lot all at once so downtime allows people to step away and unwind in the same way they would when they leave the office but you will find its a great impromptu team building exercise too as many will stick together or form new friendships Take Key Players Decide on the attendee list and ensure that as well as the higherranking office members you also invite the key social and political players that are the most influential too Inviting these key attendees will help encourage a better turnout and increase the chances of more inclusive involvement when you are there Create An Agenda Creating an agenda is essential and communicating this to attendees before you travel is key to success as it not only allows them to pack accordingly but also mentally prepare as well For corporate retreats you probably want to stick to an event agenda and be a bit looser rather than have scheduled timings for everything Corporate retreats are often less structured and more free flowing to enable to program to change and adapt when you get there and get the most out of the time and focus more on the areas that need it Prep Before You Leave Come up with games that you can fire off at a moments notice to pick up the pace research ice breakers and ensure you have done all your research beforehand Find the best local areas to visit travel ideas fun excursions and any events that are taking place that you could explore before you go so that there are plenty of options available for the participants Know The History of Company Retreats What form and outcomes have happened as a result of previous corporate retreats How regularly do they take place What expectations does everyone have What has happened recently within the company Who will be attending this retreat Give Homework Ask your attendees to prep before the retreat give some thought to an issue bring along questions ideas or things they would like to see changed A bit of preplanning can be useful and get the best out of the retreat Hire A Skilled Facilitator For the execution hire a skilled facilitator that has expert knowledge and experience dealing with larger groups Ensure the facilitator is well briefed and works with you beforehand to ensure they understand the background issues and aims of the retreat Having the right facilitator is probably the biggest single step you can take to getting the most from the retreat Avoid The Cheesy Cheesy games and activities will just make your attendees roll their eyes and while they will probably feel obliged to get involved they will partly switch off and not fully immerse themselves Instead come up with something different or new activities that they havent seen before its okay to use classics but avoid anything too cheesy Organise A FollowUp After the retreat have a follow up meeting or send an email with everything that was achieved problems raised and where you are going to go from here so that everyone is on the same page It is also a great way to have a record and use this at the next retreat to refresh and compare what you have done and progress Dont Rely On Performance Dont link a corporate retreat to performance targets and realise that they arent incentive trips they are to accommodate and improve everyone and their relationships within the organization That being said competitions while on the retreat can be encouraged and create a sense of fun to get things done Include Those Who Dont Attend A corporate retreat is for the whole team but often there are some that arent able to attend Just because they cant make it doesnt automatically exclude them you could teleconference with them while away or provide access to collaborative boards you are all working on so that they can contribute and get involved in some way Leave Titles At The Door It can be intimidating going away with your boss especially if you are sharing accommodation and are with each other all the time so ensure attendees leave their job title and seniority at the door when it comes to excursions and fun so that everyone can enjoy it and relax Pick A Facilitating Venue Try to opt for hotels or accommodation that have board or meeting rooms because although you wont spend all your time in them you need a traditional working place to distinguish the fun of the retreat with the nitty gritty work Sitting outside and working are fun but sometimes you need to sit down with ergonomic table and chairs to fully focus Choose rooms that are spacious and have natural daylight and quirky features if possible though not a cramped whitewalled uninspiring environment Device Disconnect This is a controversial one but consider asking attendees to disconnect from phones or tablets during the short working phases so that they are completely present and to avoid distractions as this can foster a better working environment to get things done much more effectively How To Make Your Budget Work Harder Packages Seek out corporate packages that include transfers excursions catering and facilities so that you dont have to plan individually with separate providers and you could get better deals and discounts particularly with larger groups Some packages even provide staff or a facilitator for your retreat as well Negotiate Dont be afraid to ask for group discounts or negotiate with venues on prices when it comes to travel accommodation or food because in larger groups you will be spending a lot of money while you are there between you A little negotiation can go a long way and help you save where you didnt expect to Book Early As with most travel plans booking flights and hotels early will get you the best deals so planning far in advance can help you save on a lot particularly if you are going in larger groups or using a popular location Start Small While everyone would love to visit a tropical island for their retreat you dont need to go big to make it successful particularly if you have first started Try somewhere local or just outside your local city for minimal costs but the same effect Change The Frequency If you are used to retreats every 6 months this could be a huge drain on resources if the budget isnt up to it Instead opt for yearly or every other year to have a retreat and save some of the budget to do something special a bit less often Consider if having a few days retreat with a longer gap between is better than a twoday gathering every year The frequency can be important You can still have an away day in between times Avoid Major TownsCities Generally the closer to a town you go the more expensive things will be and therefore you should avoid them at all costs if you are trying to stick to a budget Opting for venues that have a little travel from the airport can pay off for budget as well as finding hidden gems in the countryside or outskirts of town Your best bet is to find local recommendations and you will get to experience things off the beaten path which adds to the team building experience Be inspired by Wikipedia and go for an unconventional destination choice Go Out Of Season Some destinations have peak tourist seasons and therefore the price can skyrocket While you may not be able to enjoy the peaks of summer or the traditional tourist locations booking in the off season can save a lot of money and you normally get full use of facilities without having to share or queue plus you can usually get decent package deals as well Make It Virtual Sometimes a corporate retreat is necessary but there just isnt a budget available at all and while not ideal you could create a virtual retreat for your attendees Schedule large blocks of time off allow working from home or new locations play ice breakers take office excursions and do team building exercises without actually travelling anywhere Pick Somewhere Scenic Choose a destination with a lot of free activities such as hiking walking boating or areas of natural beauty because they not only promote creativity and wellbeing but excursions or activities are minimal cost Piggy Back Existing Events Is the team planning on attending a tradeshow or conference this year already Incorporate your retreat around an existing trip and tack on a day or two at your hotel plan your itinerary and piggy back using the event as part of your retreat activities Rent A HouseHire A Cabin Instead of paying for hotel rooms it can be more cost effective to hire a shared house cabin or villa for a few days particularly for larger groups Its extra team building as everyone is living in closer quarters and cooking for yourselves can be a bonding experience and saves a lot on catering or restaurant options for 3 meals per day Learn how to plan perfect corporate events every time Advanced Corporate Event Planning Guide featuring 100 ideas checklists and tips to plan successful events In Conclusion A corporate retreat doesnt have to drain the budget but it does have to be productive and also motivational for the attendees so dont forget about the work aspect That being said these tips will help you to plan a killer corporate retreat that attendees will enjoy so much it wont feel like hard work

Save 1K Shares Physical Symptoms of Depression Next 1 10 Physical Symptoms of Depression Though the hallmark symptoms of depression are emotional such as feelings of sadness and hopelessness depression may also come with physical symptoms including nausea diarrhea pain and weight changes Too often however people simply dismiss these health issues or fail to seek proper treatment because they dont realize whats going on Ive had folks who were referred to me by the ER because thats where they went for their symptoms says Robin Haight PsyD a psychologist in private practice in Vienna Va Dont ignore possible physical symptoms of depression Pain and other changes in your health can actually be the first signs of depression and knowing about possible physical effects of depression may help you get diagnosed and treated earlier Do you have any of these warning signs 2 10 Digestive Problems Stomach problems are common in people with depression or anxiety especially in children and adolescents Lots of kids have tummy problems and when you look into them you find theyre often related to school anxiety or their peer relationships Haight says Adults with depression also may have digestive issues such as queasiness nausea and diarrhea Some digestive disorders such as Crohns disease colitis or ulcers can be worsened by stress and depression 3 10 Headaches Headaches can have many causes and sometimes they can be signs of depression Headaches that are related to depression are usually dull and generalized Also people with depression often report their headaches are worse in the morning and in the evening They are likely tension headaches which occur when the muscles in your neck and scalp become tense or contract When people are depressed they may be tensing this muscle group not realizing it and creating a lot of head pain Haight says 4 10 Problems Sleeping Trouble sleeping is one clue to diagnosing depression People with depression can have difficulty falling asleep or they may wake up in the middle of the night and cant get back to sleep Everyone has stress and cant sleep now and then Haight says But if your problems sleeping go on for more than a few weeks you need to start thinking about whether its an emotional difficulty that needs to be addressed About a third of people with depression may sleep much more than normal 5 10 Back or Muscle Aches Back or muscle aches can be another physical sign of depression Theres a relationship between how well people take care of themselves and depression Haight says People with depression tend to exercise less and are less likely to focus on healthy eating When you dont treat your body in the most healthful ways you may have more physical pain possibly in your back and muscles or joints Also if youre already living with any kind of chronic pain depression can make it worse 6 10 Exhaustion and Fatigue Exhaustion and fatigue or lack of energy are classic hallmarks of depression Haight says Depression and fatigue tend to feed off each other so much so that in many people with depression its hard to say what came first their depression or their fatigue When people treat their anxieties and depression its amazing how much more alive they feel and how much more energy they have Haight says 7 10 Changes in Appetite Are you eating too much and gaining weight Or have you lost interest in food and are losing weight Any change in appetite can be a sign of depression People often use food to deal with emotional stress and feelings of sadness Haight says If your change in appetite lasts for more than a few weeks talk to your doctor to find out if its related to depression or another medical problem or both 8 10 Changes in Weight Fluctuations in weight can be related to changes in your eating habits and activity level Sometimes people with depression sleep a lot as much as 12 hours a day and so theyre not as active Haight says Because theyre not as active they may gain weight On the other hand if your appetite has changed and you arent eating enough you may experience weight loss If you have unexplained weight loss or gain talk to your doctor as it could be a sign of depression or another health condition 9 10 Chest Pain If you experience chest pain dont delay seeking medical treatment Chest pain can be a sign of a heart attack or other serious heart condition However chest pain also can be related to your emotional health Chest pain is often associated with panic attacks which is an anxiety issue Haight says When people are having a panic attack they can have heart palpitations and have difficulty breathing just like they were having a heart attack If your doctor concludes that your chest pain is not indicative of a heart attack or other heart condition ask whether it could be a sign of depression or anxiety 10 10 Diagnosing Depression Doctors tend to look for basic depression symptoms sadness crying lack of energy or interest when diagnosing depression But if you have any of the physical symptoms described here that last for more than a few weeks and that cant be explained by another health condition talk to your doctor about whether your symptoms could have an emotional root You should be able to find relief and treat your depression with a combination of talk therapy lifestyle changes and medication Last Updated 091611

Reviews News Videos Features Tech Magazine Cars for sale Home Ford Focus RS Focus RS v Cosworth Ford Focus RS v Ford Escort Cosworth David Vivian 9 Jun 2009 10 10 Iconic Ford Cossie squares up against newgen Focus RS on the track So lets get this straight Escort Cossie iconic indomitable Britains Integrale assassin nemesis of the hot hatchback and by any reasonable definition of the term the Real Deal And primrose yellow For reasons known only to the art department of the three Cossies that reside at the Ford Heritage Collection were borrowing the one with the slightly effete nonstandard paintjob Its the one with the shinyrimmed Personal steering wheel too More worryingly still its been fitted with a pair of front Recaros toting metallic purple shells and velour facings straight out of a 1975 Odeon Oh and the drivers one Advertisement Hardly the expected introduction to a car with such a significant provenance Because this is the very Escort Cosworth that Ford used in final development before signing the programme off In a sense its the most original of them all Only 25K on the clock then and a real piece of history in my hands as I cruise up the M1 to Millbrook to present the bewinged one with a final task before it returns to its quiet life beneath a dust sheet Simply this To show the new Focus RS the car some are calling the greatest frontdrive hot Im keeping the Cossies powder dry Despite its youthful mileage its 17 years old after all Its reputation can act as a forcefield Drivers of far lesser Focuses than the one were off to dust seem keen to show the oldtimer what they can do but theres no point responding apart from embarrassing the new hotness RS theres nothing left to prove Advertisement Advertisement But some stuff is beginning to make me a little nervous For a start I just dont feel comfortable Im not sure how much the purple Recaros are to blame but I wouldnt recommend the driving position to anyone with vertigo I seem to be looking down on the dash and the steering wheel is on the slant too The gearchange far from being as sharp as a Barack Obama suit is as woolly and longwinded as one of the Presidents unscripted press conference rambles And as I press down on the brake pedal it makes a gentle hissing noise Perhaps I need to adjust Or perhaps I should have done my homework before I set off Yes I drove the Cossie when it was new and was comprehensively blown away Jeremy Clarkson liked it so much he bought one But memory can play cruel tricks and well mythology has a habit of obscuring some inconvenient truths All right when the Escort Cossies longitudinallymounted YB series 16valve four first appeared in the 1986 Sierra it was probably the most advanced production car engine in the world But by 1992 it was no longer so special The Integrale all but matched Then there was the turbo For homologation reasons Ford opted for a big one the Garrett T35 as used on the RS200 Although it gave the Cossie plenty of puff it took a while to spool up hence the soft throttle response and yawning lag In 1994 Ford went a long way to fixing the problem by fitting the smaller and more agile T25 turbo and replacing the original WeberMarelli engine management with the new Ford EECIV ECU Peak power dropped by 3bhp but drivability improved by an order of magnitude Not Cossie number one though Big turbo big lag Just how much Im about to discover on the backroad to Millbrook which throws in a useful selection of curves humps dips campers and one deleciously long straight with a tight rightleft combination at its end To get a feel for the extent of the drubbing the RS will receive a little later I begin to flatten the throttle for the first time What initially ensues is as predicted nothing two three then whoosh But its not a big whoosh Not a single syllable expletive whoosh The Cossie feels quickish pulling well between 2500 and 5000rpm But there isnt much At least I wont have to slow down much for the bends And to a degree this is true the brakes arent all they might be Neither is the turnin which feels disconcertingly soft and vague To begin with theres understeer lots of understeer I can feel myself flushing feeling a tad embarrassed that my recollections of the Cossies performance and groundcovering chops seem so pitifully rosetinted But a few acclimatisation bends further on things begin to click Anticipating the lag and trailbraking into bends gets the Cossie pointing more purposefully and flowing at a respectable lick No torque steer Parked up beside the Focus RS though some of the newly acquired confidence starts to dribble away again The almost throbbingly green Focus has something approaching supercar presence and a level of aesthetic aggression that makes the Cossie look as lethal as a soft fruit Inside too its matching green Recaros lock you into a maximumattack mindset as surely as they clamp your torso in place when the gforce ramps up While Green and Wallace drive off in the Cossie for some highspeed Millbrook photography I head back to the same section of road in the Focus It seems a lot shorter somewhat bumpier and vastly more exciting Where the Cossie with a little attitude adjustment and gentle coercion managed to meld with the rhythm of the road the Focus simply annihilates it It does so with no great finesse There is torque steer though less than youd expect with 325lb ft and scant feel It isnt that the steering is too light it feels weighty and precise just devoid of The compensation is a motherload of the stuff that gets things done grunt grip and traction The amount of adhesion and drive the Focus musters out of bends is at first hard to get your head around Likewise the speed it heads off down the next straight According to the VBOX its exactly as quick as Ford claims hitting 60mph in 59sec and 100mph in a fraction over 14sec Unsurprisingly the Cossie can do nothing about this 62sec to 60 and 174 to 100 but subjectively the gap is much bigger Those standing start figures are deceptive Its the way Next day on the way to Bedford it proves it can comfortably hold the Aston Vantage 600 in a straight line Which means a swift adieu to the 600bhp GT on anything remotely twisty All the time it feels supremely well tieddown with vanishingly small amounts of pitch and roll and sounds like an ST thats been gargling with razor blades The engines throttle map is so aggressive the first inch of throttle travel stokes up crushing levels of urge The rest is largely gratuitous unless something expensive needs cutting down to size The brutal truth is that the Cossie doesnt warrant the extra ankle action It doesnt just feel slow after the Focus it feels as if its driving through treacle The legend lives on but for one rosetinted

80 3 Tips for Calculating Week Numbers from Dates in Excel Jon Acampora March 14 2017 Bottom line Learn a few tips and techniques for calculating week numbers from dates the number of weeks between dates and how to display the week number in cells for reporting Skill level Beginner As I mentioned in this weeks newsletter our baby boy was born last week Everything went well with the delivery and we are so happy to have our new little 8pound bundle of joy in our lives During my wifes pregnancy everything was measured in weeks There are 40 weeks in a full term pregnancy we seemed to have a doctors appointment every other week and we were definitely counting down the weeks until his estimated arrival date Of course I kept track of most of these schedules and calculations in Excel So I wanted to share some of the formulas and calculations I used to calculate week numbers These tips will also be useful for financial models data analysis and summary reports Babies arent the only things measured in weeks Download the Example File Download the example Excel file to follow along with the article Tips For Calculating Week Numbers In Excelxlsx 196 KB 1 WEEKNUM Function Calculate the Week Number of the Year We can use the WEEKNUM function to quickly determine how many weeks have elapsed from January 1st to a given date in the same year The following formula returns 11 because 11 weeks have elapsed since January 1 2017 WEEKNUM3152017 Result 11 We can also reference a cell that contains a date If the date 3152017 was in cell A2 then the following formula would return the same result WEEKNUMA2 Result 11 The WEEKNUM function has an optional argument that allows us to specify the day of the week to start on By default WEEKNUM starts the week on Sunday We can change that by adding any of the following numbers to the second argument return_type The image below shows the numbers and days for the return_type argument Its important to note that the function only calculates the number of weeks from the specified date in the same year If we used 315 2016 in the WEEKNUM function the result would be the number of weeks from January 1st 2016 which is 12 The week starts on Sunday so the same date might have a different week number result from year to year One drawback of the WEEKNUM function is that we are stuck with January 1st system 1 or the week containing the first Thursday of the year system 2 It would be great if there was a 3rd argument that allowed us to specify the day of the year to start on This would be helpful for fiscal year calendars Unfortunately we dont have that feature yet Check out my article on how the calendar date system works in Excel for more details on how dates are stored as numbers 2 Calculate the Number of Weeks Between Dates To determine how many weeks elapsed between two dates we can use a simple formula to find the number of days between the dates then divide by 7 B2A27 The formula will return a decimal number We can change the number format to a Fraction to display the number of days Or we can use one of the ROUND functions to ROUND UP or ROUND DOWN to the nearest whole number This formula can also be used to countdown the number of weeks until your next birthday vacation holiday quarterend yearend etc We can use the TODAY function to return todays date in a cell The date will be updated with the current date every time we open or calculate the workbook 3 Display the word Week in the Number Format We might want to display the word Week before the week number in the cell There are a few ways to do this in Excel My preferred method is to use a custom number format to add the word Week before the week number The custom number format is Week The advantage of the custom number format is that the number remains a number instead of text This makes it easier to sort by week number in filtered ranges and pivot tables If the number is stored as text it will not sort properly unless we use two digits for the week number Therefore I recommend using the custom number format to keep the data type of the cells as numbers This also helps keep the sort order when we create slicers on the Week Number field with the custom number format I also have an article on 3 ways to display the weekday name of a date Other Methods for Calculating Week Numbers I hope you enjoyed those tips for working with week numbers in Excel These can be very useful for summary reports and weekoverweek analysis Here are some related articles on working with dates in Excel How Dates Work in Excel The Calendar System Explained Video Filter a Pivot Table or Slicer for the Most Recent Date or Period Grouping Dates in a Pivot Table VERSUS Grouping Dates in the Source Data How to Create Month to Date MTD Comparisons with a Pivot Table Video 3 Ways to Get the Day Name for a Date What did I miss Do you have any additional tips for working with weeks If so please leave a comment below with any suggestions or questions Well Im off to change a diaper and take a nap Thank you Please share

rounds

all

If

the

I

can

Expatica home About United Kingdom The political system of the United Kingdom The political system of the United Kingdom 0 comments Here is Expaticas short introduction to the political system of the United Kingdom and some notable UK political parties of influence Are the islands called the United Kingdom or just Britain And what about England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland are they separate countries These questions are often asked by bemused internationals and depending on whom you ask you will most likely get a different answer The countries of England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland have distinct cultures and proud independent histories that identify them Acts of Union passed centuries ago brought these countries into one political union This union is what is formally known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which is often considered a bit of a mouthful The historical significance of the Union is important because it underpins some of the political dynamics of the country and possibly contributes as to why it has become so multicultural Norman Tebbit once Member of Parliament voiced a controversial opinion in 1990 that suggested that a persons origins were indicated by which national sports team they supported If you put this to the test today and ask a Scot which rugby team they support their answer likely wont be England or Wales Such proud differences are friendly but the reasons for them stretch back across centuries of historical conflict The politics in the United Kingdom operate within a constitutional monarchy similar to some other countries like Spain Sweden Thailand Denmark Japan and the Netherlands to name a few Whilst the Queen is head of state the Prime Minister is head of government Since 1999 the UK government has shared executive powers with the devolved governments of the Scottish Parliament Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly Each of the United Kingdom parliaments or assemblies has elected political parties In England the most dominant are the Labour Conservative and Liberal Democratic parties Meanwhile in the other regions notable parties are The Scottish National Party in Scotland Plaid Cymru in Wales and various unionist parties and Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland The UK Parliament in London is at the heart of the political system in Britain and is the legislative body for the UK and British overseas territories Parliament has two legislative parliamentary bodies the House of Lords and the House of Commons The House of Lords includes three types of members Bishops from the Church of England nobility British honours system and Law Lords Judges Its members are not elected and appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minster The House of Commons consists of democratically elected Members of Parliament from various different political parties Elections are held every five years Below are brief introductions to the most wellknown political parties in the United Kingdom Political parties in England The Conservative Party or Tory party was in government for twothirds of the twentieth century but it has been in opposition since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party Its modern politics are considered to be centreright The Labour Party was founded at the start of the twentieth century In 1997 it won the general election under Tony Blair its first since 1974 The Party describes itself as the democratic socialist party and is considered to be centreleft The Liberal Democrats Lib Dems are the thirdlargest party in the UK parliament However the Party has never been in government Their ideology is described as giving power to the people with politics considered to be centrecentreleft United Kingdom Independence Party UKIP has had a
