With office closures and many companies ending their leases, what does the office of the future look like? High-rise company headquarters, office board meetings and team lunches are slowly being replaced by team outings and inspirational retreats. From new hires to senior-level teams, companies are offering their employees exclusive retreats for wellness and reconnection in nature-focused sanctuaries, and hospitality brands are stepping up to the plate to replace drabby office walls with outdoor adventure.
Salesforce is opening a wellness
center for its employees to encourage employee engagement and collaborative company culture after two years of remote work. The “Trailblazer Ranch” will combine work, training, and wellness for a minimum of two nights’ stay in an attempt to maintain corporate culture in a hybrid or remote work culture environment. Located in Scotts Valley, California, the space is hosted by educational retreat nonprofit 1440 Multiversity and includes an amphitheater, sustainable dining, a yoga sanctuary, multiple large meeting spaces, and plenty of outdoor space for meditation and hiking. New hires and employees who the company deems appropriate will be invited to stay, recuperate, and reconnect with their company culture.
