As the professional landscape continues to evolve with the rise of hybrid working, YOTEL Glasgow, in partnership with its in-house destination venue, VEGA, has launched a bespoke ‘Retreat Package’ designed specifically for the modern workforce.

This innovative package targets Gen Z professionals, who prioritise work-life balance and dynamic work environments, and aims to foster collective team spirit against the scenic backdrop of Glasgow.

The rise of hybrid working models has reshaped business operations, amplifying the need for flexible yet engaging corporate experiences. YOTEL’s Retreat Package is designed to bridge this gap, uniting remote and in-office teams in a setting that promotes rejuvenation and productivity. Conveniently located adjacent to Glasgow Central Station and with easy connections to the airport, YOTEL Glasgow and VEGA ensure seamless accessibility for all attendees, whether they are local residents or international travellers.

Recent studies highlight the importance of physical gatherings in boosting morale and productivity among teams. So whether you are organising a team-building retreat, an executive getaway, or a health-centric corporate event, VEGA’s magnetic floor to ceiling views offers a stylish unmatched setting to impress clients and colleagues alike.

Alongside an overnight stay at YOTEL, daytime interactive activities include a fun cocktail masterclass and a 'Big Lane Energy' bowling competition in its four-lane neon-lit bowling alley—superb for breaking the ice and fostering team cohesion. Catering can also be included, alongside DJ hire and a branded photo booth. 

In addition to fostering connectivity, the 24hr Retreat Package also taps into the booming wellness market. It includes sessions aimed at improving mental well-being, perfectly aligning with Gen Z’s appreciation for mindfulness and self-care.

Neil Taylor, YOTEL Glasgow General Manager, emphasises the package's adaptability: “At YOTEL, we create experiences that not only resonate with our guests on a personal level but also foster a vibrant and supportive work culture. 

“As Fintech businesses like Barclays, JP Morgan and other major players revitalise Glasgow's corporate scene, the need for innovative team cohesion solutions becomes crucial and we’ve seen a demand for an all encompassing package from our corporate clients.  

“Whether it’s a wellness day, a strategic meeting, or a fun team-building event, our Retreat Package has been crafted to enhance both individual well-being and team dynamics."

The Retreat Package is robustly equipped to host a variety of corporate gatherings, from board meetings and private dinners to large-scale presentations and networking events. The customisable package can be tailored to suit requirements, including adding the AOB (‘Any Other Beverages’) package to end the day, featuring drinks of choice to mark the start of the evening.
