9 May 2022 · by Margit Grobbel

The Wednesday before last, the InterNations Team stepped off a coach at Munich’s Central Bus Station, slightly bleary-eared, but happy.

They’d just returned from a three-day company retreat in the Austrian Alps.

A corporate retreat? Isn’t that an unnecessary luxury at best? And even more so in times of uncertainty?

But whatever the benefits for the company’s bottom line might be, truth is that we sometimes just need a break. Find out how some of our team members brighten the mood during their working days, both remote and in person.
