Find offsite days the whole team can make.
Pick a range of weeks, share one link, and everyone marks the days they can travel. Venn finds the days in a row that work for the most people.
Start an offsite pollOpens “ask when people are available” with two days in a row filled in.
How to schedule a team offsite
- Pick a window. A few weeks, clear of launches and holidays.
- Say how many days. Two days in a row is common; Venn finds the runs that work.
- Share one link with the team. In Slack, Teams or email. Nobody needs an account.
- Pick the days and book. Venn shows the dates the most people can make. Book the venue once they’re set.
Tips for an offsite everyone can attend
-
Ask six to eight weeks ahead
Enough time for travel, childcare and covering work.
-
Let people answer privately
Under Privacy options, hide names so people answer honestly.
-
Get updates in Slack
Add a webhook to post each answer to a channel.
-
Mind time zones
Remote teammates see the days in their own time zone.
