7 Away day Gina Cuciniello

.....................................................................
The Managing Director of your company has recently read that fun at work is linked to higher
productivity, so he’s decided to send all the staff in the London office on an away day – a day
out to encourage team spirit – and increase productivity!

You and your partner have been asked to choose a venue for the day. You have talked to some
members of staff from different departments about what they would like to do. Look at their
comments below and the newspaper cuttings and decide which venue would suit most people
in the company. You have a budget of €150 per person.

A relaxing day out would be No boring discussion groups

Can we please do something
wonderful with just a little gentle with the old guys in
cultural? What about trying new
exercise and lots of good food. Can accounts, please! We want
foods? We want to have fun and
we go somewhere near the office? lots of fun activities that
spend time relaxing and chatting.
Oh, and no silly games, please! we’ve never done before!
