WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER OUR PACT ONLINE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR YOUR TEAM?

We don’t always have the luxury to travel to see each other in person, mainly when we work together in a distributed team and we are under great pressure to deliver outstanding results fast. 

This is why our PACT ONLINE is here. 

Our PACT ONLINE team performance acceleration program supports your team to come together regardless of where they are on the face of the Earth (and beyond). Thus your team members get to clarify their vision and needs as a team, and find the strategy and processes to deliver great results together without losing their minds or killing each other in the process 😊. 

You should consider our PACT ONLINE team development program when: 

  1. Your team is in a pickle (see various team challenges below).
  2. Your people are distributed all over the country / region / world. 
  3. You cannot afford to travel and to put aside several days for an in-person team offsite / retreat. 
  4. You would like to document the team development work through recorded online sessions. 
  5. You know that your team development is not a one-off process, but a process that will take some time, which is why it’s better to do it in several instalments online. 

If your team is under pressure to perform, but you don’t have the luxury of an in-person team offsite or retreat happening over multiple days OR you know that your team development will be longer-term, then we encourage you to consider our team performance acceleration program PACT ONLINE. 

Think long-term team development in multiple sessions easy to document = think PACT ONLINE.

PACT ONLINE LOGISTICS

If at all possible, we prefer:

  • The team development conducted via Zoom.
  • We have no problem recording the team development sessions.
  • Programs can last from a minimum of 10 hours to 100 online team development hours and more.

YOUR TEAM DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT

The VORNICA® signature team performance acceleration program PACT ONLINE is priced to respect your team and company’s current economic realities, and the value and quality of the services provided by us to you and your team.

Each program price is tailor-made.

Your final investment will depend on:

  • The final number of people in your team joining the program.
  • The intensity of the program: team assessment needs, number of development sessions, special services such as team shadowing etc.
  • The urgency of the program: if the program needs to be deployed in less than three months etc.
  • Other special requirements coming from you, your team and your company leadership.

HOW CAN YOU CALCULATE YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT INTO YOUR ONLINE TEAM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM?

  • Take a look at the cost of your fluctuation. How much would it cost you to replace three-four members of your team that might leave unless you start operating and performing better as a team?
  • Consider the cost of absenteeism, low engagement, and low performance. Even if your people stay, but they don’t perform at their best, this will cost you and your organization way beyond your expectations.
  • Add the cost of burnout and medical care for exhausted people.
  • Include the cost of managing drama. Calculate the volume of time spent by the team leader on managing unnecessary conflict, drama, and negativity in the team. Research says that it usually stands between 40% and 80% in highly dysfunctional teams.
  • Take into account missed opportunities.  While your team is struggling to perform, the world is moving ahead, and you will have lost numerous opportunities on the way.

ARE YOU A SMART, TALENTED, AND AMBITIOUS WOMAN LEADER WHO WANTS TO TAKE THEIR TEAM PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST OF A RETREAT PER PERSON OR IN TOTAL?

In general the cost of a PACT retreat per person may vary between 3 000 and 5 000 EUR / person, function of the team specific requirements. For a team of 10 people this takes the budget to 30 000 EUR to 50 000 EUR and beyond.  

HOW DOES THE PAYMENT TAKE PLACE?

The PACT team retreat payment is taking place in two phases: a 80% full cost advance payment upon agreement and prior to the team retreat, and 20% remaining cost within 15 days after the retreat execution.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE NEED TO CANCEL / RESCHEDULE OUR RETREAT?

Because of the major logistical effort involved at creating the retreat for you, you can reschedule the retreat only once, with a minimum of 30 days prior to the retreat. If the retreat is cancelled less than 30 days before its execution, the retreat is considered executed and the advance payment cannot be refunded.

IS PACT SUITABLE FOR EXECUTIVE TEAMS AS WELL?

Yes, absolutely. However, given the fact that executive teams are very specific, we recommend you to book a minimum 60-minute call so we can discuss your needs at length. In some cases it may be necessary to upgrade the location of our retreat to accommodate your specific desires.  

 

HOW CAN WE GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS RETREAT?

To get the most from this retreat we recommend the team to engage in the pre-retreat reflective activities, to go through all materials we will put at their disposal, and to come ready for full engagement. Your team’s proactivity will determine your success – and, ultimately, your destiny. 

 

WHEN AND HOW CAN THE TEAM LEADER ARRANGE THE 1-1 EXECUTIVE MENTORING / COACHING SESSIONS WITH CRISTINA?

Finding a good time for the three 60-minute individual executive mentoring sessions with Cristina is a top priority during your retreat onboarding process. By the end of the onboarding, you should know exactly when your 1-1 executive mentoring / coaching sessions will take place.

LET’S TAKE YOUR TEAM PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL RIGHT NOW.
