Lastly, here’s our verdict and highlight of the whole experience:

Editorial team

Rana

Group Editor in Chief, Reworld Media – Asia Pacific

“As the week prior to our workshop was stressful to say the least, the fact that the venue was set in a relaxing and scenic environment helped ease everybody’s nerves instantly. I personally liked the team-building activities which helped us bond and focus over a common task and have as we emerged with an interesting insight into what it means to work together for a collective goal.  With delicious cupcakes bearing our names, countless espressos and cosmos to end the day with – really, who could complain?”

Fashion and Beauty Writer, Marie France Asia

“Who would have thought of holding a corporate workshop within the verdant grounds of Sentosa? Well, we did. The Singapore Resort & Spa’s Celebration and Events venue was no doubt the ideal location to bring the office out of its mediocrity and into a refreshing atmosphere. We kickstarted the day-long workshop with some teambuilding activities by Focus Adventure and that in my opinion was the highlight. I got to see a different side of my colleagues and it was all in all a fun, laid back and yet insightful activity, where we learned to work together and improve communication in order to achieve our end goal.

Finally, I can’t deny that the location itself was the biggest draw. It felt a lot like a retreat but yet it was an ideal location for ideas to flow freely without feeling restricted, as the walls of an office or meeting room may tend to do.”

Mathilde

Managing Editor, BE Asia

“Lush scenery, sea view and peacocks – it was definitely an appreciated change of setting from our usual in the CBD, the fact which I think got us all in a cheerful mood right from the start. The sheer size of the hotel grounds made it a proper getaway. I’ll be sure to come back soon to enjoy the villas, the waterfall pool and the mud baths!”

Celine

Managing Editor, Gourmand Asia

“The setting was remarkable with a beautiful view overlooking the sea, in a green luxurious environment. It felt as if we were outside of Singapore, out of time.

Personally, I appreciated the attentive service, from the buggy driver and valets to the waiting staff and banquet organisers. They were also prompt to accommodate any changes we had.

The activities we were offered were a lot of fun and helped us connect more with each other. That was also a great way to start the day.

The cherry on top? The customized cupcakes – a great and delicious surprise indeed!”

Management, Operations and Sales team

Marcus

Managing Director, Reworld Media – Asia Pacific

“Nice place for a cosy and luxurious MICE event. Th location is very prestigious and it was quite impressive that every operation from the activities to the dining choices was customisable.

All of sessions were well-organised and at the end of the day, all the team was happy at Reworld Media’s 2015 workshop @ The Sentosa Resort & Spa. So was I.”

Jérémy

Director of Digital Operations, Reworld Media – Paris

“Our workshop in The Sentosa Resort & Spa was very exciting. It is always nice to be able to work in a place like this. Everything was perfect, from the location to the atmosphere. The meeting rooms are comfortable and very scalable. The change of the room set-up between the morning and the afternoon is very interesting especially to create a strict or cool atmosphere. The lunch was very good as well but I would have loved to have it outside near the swimming pool (my Singapore-based colleagues might disagree on this one). The staff were very professional and helpful and we felt that our comfort was very important for them. The highlight was having the cupcakes with our company’s logos printed on them! To sum up, it was a very productive and enjoyable day for the whole team.”

Adeline

Snr. Business Development Manager, Reworld Media – Asia Pacific

“To take mundane strategy meeting out of office was a really great idea. Singapore Resort & Spa was tranquil and beautiful, it is not difficult to get inspired in a setting like this. On top of that, the event organizers added personal touches to the meals and tea breaks. We even had our names on the cupcakes! Though the meeting can be intense, the relaxed setting of the meeting room with sofas and beanbags made it more homely and comfortable, which encouraged everyone to share their ideas freely, this makes the meeting a much fruitful one.”

Kendrick

Senior Account Manager – Asia Pacific

“Being the newbie in the team, the workshop is just the thing to help me familiarise myself with the company’s operations and the part that everyone plays to move Reworld Media forward!

The offsite setting of The Singapore Resort & Spa Sentosa amidst the lush greenery and ocean view is a truly great to make you stop, think and possibly rethink the route ahead. Being out of our comfort zone – i.e. ‘the office’- the environment and the activities that were planned for us, really did help simulate creativity and give us a different perspective on things.

But my favourite aspect of the workshop has to be the opportunity to interact with my colleagues at length on  both work and personal fronts. There’s never a dull moment with this bunch of ‘les gens fous’. =)”

Simon

Digital Product Marketing Manager, Reworld Media – Asia Pacific

“Our workshop was really interesting. The location is great, really quiet to concentrate and get inspired. We also had the chance to participate in team building activities and we ended up it discovering more about ourselves and strengthening our team spirit.”
