Meetings may drive strategy—but studies show that wellness drives results.
The American Psychological Association reports employees who take wellness breaks experience higher productivity and job satisfaction. Companies that invest in their employees’ mental and physical wellness see higher engagement, stronger collaboration, and better business outcomes.
At Wingspread Retreat & Conference Center, we believe that the best ideas and most impactful decisions happen when teams are energized, focused, and aligned.
That’s why corporate wellness retreats are a game-changer for organizations looking to foster innovation, teamwork, and a healthy workplace culture.
Megan Bednar, National Sales Manager at Wingspread, recently discussed why integrating wellness into corporate meetings is more than just a perk—it’s a strategic advantage.
“Integrating wellness into corporate meetings improves focus, creativity, and engagement,” Megan explains. “From guided stretch breaks to mindful walks and even breathwork, small wellness moments help teams recharge, which leads to better decision-making and stronger collaboration.”
Meetings are where ideas take shape—but stress and burnout can erode team cohesion and creativity. A wellness-focused retreat provides a much-needed reset, allowing teams to step away from the daily grind and reconnect in a meaningful way.
“When stress and distractions take over, team connection suffers,” Megan explains. “Wellness retreats create space for teams to think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and collaborate with greater ease.”
By integrating mindfulness and movement into a corporate retreat, organizations can:
Whether it’s an invigorating team hike, a creative group exercise, or a simple moment of quiet reflection, these experiences strengthen relationships and bring teams into alignment.
Wellness retreats aren’t just a break from work—they’re an investment in engagement, collaboration, and performance.
“After a retreat, employees return mentally refreshed and physically recharged,” Megan says. “This leads to improved concentration, stronger teamwork, and a more positive workplace culture.”
When organizations invest in well-being, employees feel valued—not just for their work but for who they are.
“The positive energy and mindset shifts from a retreat don’t end when employees leave,” Megan adds. “They return to the office with renewed motivation, purpose, and commitment, creating a
more engaged and productive workplace.”
