Recently, we conducted our quarterly meeting at a resort far away from the city. Some managers were happy with the location and peaceful climate, while others were not pleased because of the distance from the city. They expressed concerns about having to travel to the city for any necessities, sometimes not having enough time to do so.
Currently, there are mixed opinions on whether the next meeting should also be held at a resort. Some are in favor of it, while others are against it.
I would like to hear your comments on this issue. As an HR professional, I prefer resorts due to their nice locations with trees and mountains, providing a peaceful setting for our meetings. We have already arranged cottages at the resort for accommodation. Conducting meetings at resorts is a cost-effective option compared to star hotels. Managers are required to bring all necessary items before the meetings.
Please share your thoughts on this matter.

People are like the five fingers - none of them are alike. What I feel is that you should take a vote on the issue of choosing a resort for the meeting from the existing managers. If the vote is in favor of going to a resort for a meeting, then go ahead; otherwise, ask for their suggestions and choose from them.

This was one such item I was desperately looking for. I am working for a PSU in Hyderabad and had recently attended one of HR meets at a resort nearby Hyderabad. Since I was a participant there, I did not work out the details further. Recently, I proposed to my senior to hold our meets/conferences in such resorts and the expenditure, when worked out, appeared to be on a very higher side. Your contention about resorts being cheap may not hold good as they charge exorbitantly.
Please give details of your meet location and the number of participants so as to enable me to plan for such a location.

Hi tejesh, I too agree with Shweta as people think differently.Cost of holding the trainings/conference at resorts also depends on the location of the resort. Regards, Clarence Colaco

Thanks for starting this interesting thread and thanks for your post. I am from Pharma industry as well, nevertheless this topic would suit all industries across.
We arrange most of our programs like cycle meetings and training programs ONLY in resorts. Following are some of the reasons for it:
Participants will always have mixed opinion about having meetings in resorts. But then, weighing the benefits I would always agree with you in holding meetings/ trainings in resorts.

We arrange most of our programs like cycle meetings and training programs ONLY in resorts. Following are some of the reasons for it:
- Will always fit into your budget and they are not that expensive like city hotels.
- There is no pressure of vacating the hall beyond 6pm, as city hotels have scheduled parties or dinner meets after we vacate the hall.
- Participants staying and connected in resorts give you an edge to plan out home works or activities – after meetings/ training sessions are over.
- There are no late-comers !!!
