Sports seminars for companies

Have you ever imagined a company seminar transformed into a sports ground? A real strategic lever in human resources, this format responds to concrete objectives in terms of management and well-being at work.

The sports seminar: a strategic HR lever

Organising such events on a regular basis creates a favourable context for strengthening team cohesion. Well orchestrated, they :

Breaks the routine.
relieves stress.
Helps create new, stronger links between employees.

It is often observed that these informal moments strengthen team spirit well beyond the event itself.

Our sports seminar formats for companies

Whereez offers a range of sports seminar formats to suit all participant profiles. Here are three main types of sports format, each offering its own set of fun and unifying challenges.

Olympiads and cooperative games

These corporate Olympiads invite your teams to compete in fun, sporting events inspired by the Olympic Games. In mixed teams, employees take part in a variety of cooperative games:

Archery
Racket
Human table football
Fun races, etc.

The aim is not to be top-class sportsmen and women, but to help each other out and excel together in a good-natured spirit. Whereez's Corporate Olympic Games give everyone a taste of the excitement of the Olympics in the workplace. Laughter, surpassing your limits and guaranteed memories for the winning team and the others!

Challenges like Koh-Lanta or the obstacle course

Put your staff in the shoes of adventurers with sports challenges inspired by Koh-Lanta or the obstacle course. In the great outdoors or in an urban park, the teams take on a series of physical, strategic and sensory challenges worthy of a real obstacle course. They need to help each other to overcome each challenge:

Pulling a rope together
Solve a giant puzzle together
Crossing a balancing test
a test of speed.

This type of challenge, which is accessible to all, encourages people to surpass their limits and forges a close-knit group. For example, Whereez's "Koh-Lectif" activity is based on the famous TV game show.

Disability Olympics

A sports seminar can also include well-being and inclusive workshops, such as the Disability Olympics, to raise awareness among participants. This original format allows everyone, whether or not they are sportsmen and women, to take an active part while learning about stress management and inclusion. The idea is to offer fun sporting activities that emphasise cooperation, confidence and open-mindedness.

For example, disability workshops such as the Disability Olympics plunge participants into a new sensory universe:

Cecifoot match (blindfold football)
Blind course, etc.

Top venues for a sports seminar

An indoor beach in Paris

Why not hold your event on the sand, even in the middle of winter? There is a room in Paris that has been converted into an indoor beach for a sunny seminar. Your teams can hold a meeting there in the morning, followed by beach sports games (beach volleyball, beach soccer, etc.) in the afternoon, in a summery atmosphere. A unique setting that brings an air of holiday to the heart of the city.

A climbing gym in Bordeaux

A private climbing wall is an excellent idea for sports team building. In an indoor space of several hundred square metres, your staff can take on vertical challenges in complete safety.

This unusual playground allows teams to test their balance, agility and vertigo management. Everyone climbs at their own level, from beginners to experts, making this activity suitable for a wide range of participants. After the effort, there's a relaxation area on site where you can share a convivial moment over refreshments.

A legendary stadium in Nantes

The Beaujoire stadium in Nantes opens its doors to companies for out-of-the-ordinary seminars. You can :

Private lounges with a view of the pitch
Offer football-themed events (pitch-side cocktails, behind-the-scenes tours, mini football tournaments, etc.).

Immersing yourself in the day-to-day life of a professional club gives your event a unifying and exhilarating dimension. It's a turnkey seminar with no infrastructure constraints.

The benefits of a sports seminar for teams

From an HR point of view, encouraging sport at work improves health and collective performance. It reduces absenteeism by around 32% and improves productivity by 6 to 9% per employee. These are the figures shared by the Fédération Française du Sport en Entreprise (FFSE).

FAQ - Sports seminars

Why choose to organise a sports seminar rather than a traditional event?

Because it creates a stronger bond and commitment. Sporting activities stimulate team spirit, relieve pressure and make the event more memorable than a simple meal or meeting.

Are the sports formats accessible to everyone?

Yes, they are designed to be inclusive. You don't need to be an athlete: the activities are varied and can be adapted to suit everyone's abilities, with gentle or more dynamic options.

What's the budget?

Expect to pay between €50 and €120 per person for a standard day. For a seminar with an overnight stay, prices rise to between €200 and €600 all-inclusive, depending on the services provided.
