Joined Elements on Best Practices for Travel Opportunities

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- “I am so excited for this trip! This has been a tremendous year for us at Joined Elements, and heading to Mexico for some fun in the sun is exactly what we need to recharge our batteries and get 2015 off to a great start,” exclaimed Jeff, the firm’s president. “It’s a shame that I can’t take everyone, but those who qualify will experience a luxurious weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. There are twelve restaurants, six bars, a huge assortment of spa treatments, and the pristine Cancun beaches.”

On top of these lavish features, the retreat will also provide Jeff and his team with the opportunity to meet other industry leaders from around the country. The ability to network with the sharpest minds in marketing while sharing best practices with other firms is almost as important to Jeff as the chance to unwind. In addition, the conference features a prestigious awards ceremony to honor the hard work and achievements of top producers.

Joined Elements’ President Discusses the Benefits of Business Travel

As the firm prepares for the retreat, Jeff reflected on the benefits of corporate travel. “Many business owners, especially in this challenging economy, look at business travel as an unnecessary expense, but nothing could be further from the truth,” explained Jeff. “A study conducted by IHS Global Insight found that, on average, companies saw a $15 return on every dollar invested into a corporate event like this one. The way I see it, that makes this retreat a smart business decision – not a waste of money.”

Two of the reasons that these trips have such a positive impact have to do with the effect of travel on associates. First, it gives them a chance to create personal relationships outside the daily professional context in which they ordinarily function. Second, a successful trip fills each associate with a feeling of confidence, letting him or her go back to work feeling invigorated. “It’s easy to let work become our world, and little adventures like this remind us that life has so much more to offer,” shared Jeff.

Ironically, left to their own devices, most people don’t take all the vacation days that their company offers them. This is unfortunate, as many studies show that taking time away from the office leads to greater productivity and performance, fewer sick days, and higher levels of engagement. As Jeff said earlier, these weekend getaways are a smart investment for any business owner.

“It would be a shame to qualify for a trip like this and then not be well enough to enjoy it, so here are some tips I give my team to stay healthy on weekend getaways,” indicated Jeff. “First, get plenty of sleep leading up to and during the getaway. Also, don’t be afraid to take some alone time. Exercise a little while you’re there, and eat a healthy breakfast. Load up on vitamins and drink plenty of water. We’re really pumped for our trip and I’m confident that if these guidelines are followed, my team will be able to enjoy it to the fullest extent!”
