Flock and Rally Talks COVID-Safe Retreat Planning on the “HR After Dark” Podcast

How do you plan a truly safe, enjoyable company retreat during a global pandemic?

(Hint: it's all about visualizing every aspect of the guest experience in advance — something we do frequently in our client work.)

Our EVP, Merritt McNeely, talks with Willis HR about how she and our fearless Ops Manager Rachel Carter planned a recent summer camp-themed retreat for our team of eight at Dreher Island State Park on Lake Murray, known as “the jewel of South Carolina.”

Listen in to hear how Merritt and Rachel infused hardcore safety measures with elements of levity and delight to create a safe, wonderful trip where masks were de rigueur, personal space was plentiful and serious physical distancing was the name of the game.

The result? Much-needed hang time, surrounded by nature, for a team that's been working hard — and working from home — since mid-March 2020.
