Building a better co-op

A good working environment is always important, but when working in a co-operative, this includes creating strong connections and bonds with other members of staff. As a predominately remote organisation for the last 3 years, we always make sure that, at least once a year, we can all come together for this very purpose. 

This year, Agile Collective spent a week in Henley-in-Arden where we engaged in a range of organisational strategy and visioning sessions. 

When we weren’t building and shaping the future of Agile Collective, we were making the most of our time together. This included a day out in Stratford with a little bit of added History provided by Richard, some epic Molki games and a co-operatively developed yet extremely challenging quiz night designed by Dan. 

We've come back from the week away refreshed, excited by the outcomes and very much looking forward to another team gathering next year!
