In recent months, we have noticed a clear trend: people want to meet each other again, even in a business context. At Preferred Hotel Reservations, we see that conference attendees are once again coming together with great pleasure and experiencing the added value of this more than ever. This clear interest in personal interaction has a positive impact on both individuals and organizations.
The added value of in-person meetings
Stronger team spirit: Colleagues who work from home regularly are now coming together in person. This strengthens team spirit and fosters a sense of connection. Working together in a physical space leads to better communication and stronger bonds between team members.
Creative process: Personal interaction is of great value to the creative process. Ideas are shared and developed more quickly when people are physically together. Brainstorming sessions and spontaneous conversations often lead to innovative solutions and new insights.
Happiness and productivity: Apparently, people are happier and perform better when they collaborate and spend time together. Social interaction and a sense of community contribute to employees’ well-being, which in turn increases productivity.
External meetings and overnight stays
At Preferred, we are seeing an increase in requests for external meetings, often with overnight stays. These meetings provide a valuable opportunity for organizations to bring their employees together in an inspiring environment. Whether it’s a retreat, a conference, or a team-building event, the benefits of external meetings are clear:
Focus and concentration: Away from the daily work environment, employees can better focus on the goals of the meeting.
Networking and collaboration: External meetings provide the opportunity to network and collaborate with colleagues and industry peers. This promotes the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Relaxation and refreshment: A change of scenery can provide relaxation and rejuvenation, contributing to a positive mindset and new energy.
The resurgence of business meetings and personal interaction is a trend that we at Preferred Hotel Reservations welcome with open arms. The number of requests for external meetings is rising, and the number of participants is higher than ever. People are experiencing the added value of being together and working together, which contributes to their happiness and productivity. We are proud to offer a wide range of accommodations and venues that make these valuable meetings possible.
