Should I Set an Agenda for the Kick-Off Event?

Common agenda items might include key presentations, team activities, breaks, and a Q&A session with leadership to address any questions or clarifications.
When is the Best Time to Hold a Kick-Off Meeting?

Kick-off meetings are generally scheduled at the beginning of the calendar or fiscal year, as this timing allows companies to introduce new goals, review past successes, and set a focused direction for the coming year. For specific projects or initiatives, a kick-off meeting should be scheduled right after project approval and before major work begins.
How Long Should a Company Kick-Off Event Last?

The duration of a company kick-off event depends on your agenda and the complexity of your goals. For annual kick-offs, a full day or even a multi-day event is ideal, as it allows ample time for presentations, team-building activities, and socialising. For smaller projects, a half-day meeting may be sufficient to cover key details and set a solid foundation.

How Can a Company Kick-Off Help with Employee Retention?

A company kick-off can positively impact employee retention by fostering a sense of unity and purpose.

Should I Include Team-Building Activities in My Kick-Off?

Yes, team-building activities are essential in a successful kick-off. These exercises encourage connection and trust among team members, making it easier for them to collaborate effectively throughout the year. Team-building can range from structured activities to more casual bonding opportunities, but the goal is always to lift morale and help team members feel more comfortable and connected.

The budget for a company kick-off depends on factors such as the number of attendees, venue costs, catering, and any additional services like AV equipment or entertainment.
