The foundations of a successful corporate seminar

A corporate seminar brings your employees together outside the workplace to strengthen team cohesion, share common goals, and foster communication among colleagues in a collaborative environment.

These professional events aim to boost employee motivation, improve internal communication, and develop team spirit. They also help convey strategies, lay solid foundations for new projects, and encourage innovation through a stimulating change of scenery.

FAQ

What budget should you plan for a seminar?

The budget for a seminar is very variable and depends heavily on the number of participants, the type of experience desired, and the scope of activities. On average, companies allocate between CHF 100 and 500 per employee annually for team-building activities. Annual budgets can range from CHF 6,000 to 20,000 for small teams and exceed CHF 100,000 for large companies. A simple and effective way to evaluate the cost is to consider the budget per person and per event: small-scale activities generally cost between CHF 100 and 200 per person, medium-sized events between CHF 200 and 500 per person, and high-impact experiences can exceed CHF 500 per person. To optimize the budget, it is advisable to prioritize the experience itself rather than transport costs or non-essential extras, aiming for a good return on investment in terms of improved communication and productivity.

How long does a seminar last?

The duration of a corporate seminar is not fixed and varies greatly depending on the venue chosen, the budget allocated, and the objectives. A seminar near the workplace may last a day, or even a few hours, while an event in another Swiss city is generally planned for 2 to 3 days. For an international seminar, the duration may extend from 3 days to 1 week. The budget directly influences the duration: a tighter budget means a shorter seminar closer to the office. Likewise, the activities and objectives also determine the duration. For example, if the goal is to create strong bonds and reinforce cohesion, a single day would not be enough, whereas for sharing information, a shorter duration and a nearby location are preferable.

What types of seminars are there?

Corporate seminars are strategic events that address various objectives. Among the most common types are the onboarding seminar for new employees, the training seminar to develop skills, the sales seminar for sales teams, and the cohesion / team-building seminar, essential for strengthening bonds and improving communication among teams. There are also other formats such as the executive seminar focused on strategic decisions, the motivation seminar to energize participants, the innovation seminar to stimulate creativity, or the well-being seminar emphasizing employee health. Each type is tailored to the company’s specific goals and needs, offering a customized solution for every event.
