Summer is coming to an end. Suitcases are put away, swimsuits too, and the sunscreen bottles are almost empty. It’s time to get back to work—new missions and projects are waiting for you.
After several weeks shaped by summer holidays and scattered schedules, your team is finally reunited again. It’s been a while since everyone was all together.
September is a strategic month: it marks the reunion and the opportunity to revive collective energy. It’s the perfect time to strengthen bonds and bring your teams together around upcoming projects. It’s also the ideal moment to organize a team‑building activity or a company seminar to boost motivation and team cohesion.
Partouche Meetings & Events brings you 5 event ideas to kick off the autumn season.
A company seminar
The weeks following the end of summer are the perfect time to re‑energize your teams.
Take advantage of this early‑autumn momentum to present upcoming projects to your employees. And what better way to do this than with a company seminar?
How do you organize the perfect post‑summer seminar? Here are a few tips to make your corporate event both effective and enjoyable.
Whether by the sea to enjoy the last rays of sunshine or in the mountains for some fresh air, Partouche Meetings & Events offers 20 venues across France.
A variety of unique locations where your teams can work and interact in dedicated, well‑equipped meeting rooms.
Everything is designed to ensure your colleagues enjoy themselves—from our many restaurants to selected venues where some even feature 5‑star hotels, guaranteeing comfort for a pleasant and productive stay.
A sports team-building activity
After a great summer and happy reunions, what better way to get going than by tackling some sports challenges? It boosts your team’s energy, strengthens cohesion, and helps everyone set new personal and group objectives.
If your offices are near sports facilities, this is a great opportunity. You can organize a friendly tournament.
This could include tennis courts, football fields, or gyms. Whether it’s an individual or team sport, it’s a chance to break the routine and enjoy a fun moment with colleagues.
No sports facilities nearby? No problem: running is a great alternative. Launch a challenge like “who can run the most kilometers in a week or a month?”
To make it even more motivating, plan a small prize for the winners—nothing boosts engagement like a good reward!
Challenging your colleagues is a great way to strengthen team spirit, stimulate motivation, and even uncover hidden talent.
A guided tour
Don’t you think that knowing the city where we work makes the professional experience richer and more inspiring?
Some of your colleagues may be new to the region—this is the perfect moment to show them around! And for those who have lived there for years, it’s a great way to deepen their knowledge and rediscover their city.
A walk through your city’s streets is a fun and enjoyable way to strengthen team cohesion while exploring the cultural and historical treasures around you. To make the experience more dynamic, you could even organize a treasure hunt or a city challenge, allowing teams to collaborate while exploring the area in a unique way.
Choose a professional guide who can share stories, anecdotes, and surprising facts—this will make the visit even more captivating.
But a member of your team can also take on the guide role. With some preparation, curiosity, and research, anyone can lead an original and friendly tour.
An afterwork
Never organized a corporate afterwork before? Don’t worry! Partouche Meetings & Events provides a practical guide to help you plan your first one.
And for those already familiar with the concept, remember that an afterwork doesn’t have to be limited to a traditional café terrace. Partouche Meetings & Events offers original and varied venues to make these informal moments even more memorable and surprising for your teams!
A solidarity or eco-friendly challenge
Bring your teams together around a meaningful cause
A solidarity challenge is a fantastic way to involve your employees in initiatives that help protect the environment.
Why not start with a waste‑collection activity? Whether you’re near a beach, forest, or city area, it’s an opportunity to clean up your surroundings and restore beauty to your community.
Another idea is to organize a collection of clothes, toys, or various items to donate to an association.
Everyone can take part in these initiatives—a great way to encourage mutual support, strengthen team cohesion, and feel the satisfaction of having a positive impact.
These eco‑friendly and solidarity actions help unite your teams while offering meaningful experiences outside the usual work setting.
