Haven Heart HR Retreat: Empowering Teams Through Self-Leadership

Participants

30 HR professionals

Objective

The Haven Heart HR Retreat was designed to create lasting change by achieving four key objectives:

1. Ignite effective team communication for a more robust, unified workforce.
2. Enhance mutual understanding of individual personalities and working styles to build deeper connections.
3. Identify personal limitations and turn them into opportunities for team growth and collaboration.
4. Instil self-leadership practices that empower each member to take ownership of their role within the team.

Support Provided

We worked closely with the HR director and manager to gain a thorough understanding of the team’s challenges and goals. With this insight, we developed a dynamic retreat program that was explicitly tailored to the needs of the team. Our expert trainers facilitated an environment where participants felt safe to open up and share their workplace challenges. This allowed us to focus on unlocking honest communication, emotional intelligence, and trust—all essential components for a high-performing team.

How it Works?

The retreat started with an engaging session titled “Why Workplace Relationships Matter?” sparking discussions on how strong relationships form the foundation of any successful organisation. From there, we launched a series of high-energy, interactive team-building activities designed to break down barriers and inspire collaboration.

The self-accountability challenge was a transformative experience. Participants were encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and confront their own limitations. Emotions ran high—ranging from anxiety to exhilaration—but by the end of the exercise, the team had undergone a powerful transformation. They emerged more unified, confident, and ready to support one another in new and meaningful ways.
