‘TisTheSeasontoShowYourTeamHowMuchTheyMean
As the year ends and the holidays jingle into being, there’s no better time for employers to let their people know just how valued they truly are. In the spirit of the season, we’ve compiled a list of suggestions for Old Montreal business leaders looking to boost morale, inspire, retain, and together celebrate a job well done (fun for the boss included).
Appreciate Them With the Gift of Good Health
Bota Bota’s Got a Brand New Boat!
The city’s favourite floating spa is expanding its flotilla, and they want everyone to join in the inaugural fun. Until Dec. 19, with any water circuit access, enjoy 2 free hours upon the arrival of Bota Bota’s newly launched vessel. Sign up to their newsletter to take advantage!
Reward With Wellness at Spa Scandinave
“Make your employees’ wellbeing a priority”. Words to lead by. Energize your team and foster their potential with the gift of blissful unwinding plus bodily – and digital – detoxification. Save up to 30% on exclusive corporate bundles, designed with your health and business in mind.
Oxygen Yoga & Fitness: Deals That Heal
Group yoga and fitness fusion, core workouts, balance training, infrared therapy; the list goes on at this decidedly a-typical yoga studio. Get your people moving with 10 days unlimited access for $10, not to mention an exceptional Black Friday deal on 1-year memberships.
Location, Location, Location
Top-Drawer Workspaces at Crew Collective & Café
If you’re looking to change things up in terms of meeting venues, you can’t get more spectacularly grand than Crew Collective, situated in the old Royal Bank of Canada building. Beautiful modern workspaces in an eye-popping setting, plus outstanding artisanal coffee? Thanks, boss.
Another standout in the Old Montreal workspace jewel box, Walter offers fully loaded, streamlined meeting rooms and coworking spaces with all the amenities for success whatever your business needs. Also, with multiple meeting room bookings, get 15% off – very good to know.
A Different Kind of Office with Hedhofis
Business mentorship, coaching, training… A membership here gets you much more than 24/7 access to their workspaces across Quebec. Through the tools, support and strong network offered by Hedhofis Academy, your team members are equipped to “structure their growth and achieve their goals faster”, a gift that keeps giving, all around.
Teambuilding, the Delicious Way
A Cornucopia of Classes with Ateliers & Saveurs
Want to see some serious teamwork? There are few better places than in the kitchen (or behind the bar for that matter). At A&S, the variety of tasty classes on offer is simply dizzying: tapas, chic lunch, holiday brunch, foie gras, truffles, pastry class (yes, that means Christmas logs), cocktails from around the world, the list goes on and on and on… and book now!
In another kitchen not too far away, colleagues are invited to discover the techniques and philosophy behind BEVO Pizzeria’s unique Romapolitan pizza with their head chef. Expect a 3-course menu, wine or beer, a BEVO apron to take home, and a big oven-full of pizza-making fun! Bravissimo in advance.
Sipping, Painting and “Steaking” at Espace Vieux-Port
On the subject of deliciously fun and unmissable workshops, Espace Vieux-Port is holding a couple of their own. Paint & Sip will have your team bond over sipping a perfectly made cocktail while – you guessed it – painting; and their Steak Masterclass is exactly that, featuring a 3-course menu, wine pairing, 4-5 cuts of beef and a wealth of knowledge of the succulent kind.
Doing it Classic at Pub Saint-Pierre
Finally, let’s not forget that teambuilding technique that unwaveringly stands the test of time: Happy Hour. Aka 5 à 7. Aka 4 à 7 if you’re at Pub Saint-Pierre any evening of the week enjoying fresh $2 oysters and your libation of choice. Added to their list of excellent things to do with your peers: Trivia Tuesdays (in French and English) and Wine Down Wednesdays, which combines Wednesdays with wine, at half price.
Cheers and Happy Holidays from our team to yours!
