Company Retreat is a great way for people working remotely to connect with their teammates from other parts of the world and for the founders to get everyone on the same page. It may not be so interesting if everyone works in the same office daily.

I agree.. being a "work from anywhere" company we have adopted an annual offsite as a key ingredient in establishing the culture we are looking to inculcate in the company.

We have folks in 5 different time zones and once a year the team meets for a week-long offsite. Agenda is managed and executed by an external agency. Includes work as usual + lunch & learns + collaborative dinner experiences.

In addition to our employees, key partners, consultants also participate.

That's cool. I have seen that involving a 3rd party consultant could be very important in keeping ourselves honest.
