Why event planners should design events with wellbeing in mind
Delegates talking.

One way to help maintain a happy and healthy workforce is by designing corporate events that place wellbeing front and centre – and what better environment for hardworking teams to relax and recharge together than at Center Parcs? Whether it's a team-building retreat, a conference or a company-wide celebration, events in the forest provide a unique opportunity for companies to demonstrate their commitment to employee wellbeing and help employees to feel cared for and valued.

For example, when planning a corporate event, organisers should think carefully about the wellbeing of event attendees. As well as regular coffee and comfort breaks during the day, here at Center Parcs we actively encourage event planners to include some time spent outdoors for people to get some fresh air and stretch their legs, as well as downtime for them to relax and socialise together. Jam-packed all-day event schedules filled with presentations, guest speakers and seminars require people to concentrate for longer periods of time than is generally recommended – include regular breaks, and you’ll find that people are more likely to actually remember those key takeaway messages.

Many event planners take things even further. These days, we’re seeing increased interest in mindfulness and relaxation activities such as meditation, yoga or spa sessions, or outdoor leisure activities such as hiking or forest bathing. Try to offer a variety of options to appeal to different people, plan some activities that the whole team can join in (such as a gentle stroll or a picnic) and, crucially, give people the option to opt-out if they wish. Not everyone will be comfortable trying yoga, and that’s OK!
