How to work away happily in large groups

Travelling in large groups can be a testing experience that is made even more complex when work is added. Dealing with a range of personalities, the inevitable travel fatigue, and the fact that you are required to spend 24 hours in the presence of your teams can cause even the closest of companies to feel the pressure. 

At Comfy Workers, we understand that booking travel accommodation requires a balance of personal and budget needs, which often means choosing multiple properties for one trip is not realistic. 

We believe that choosing homestyle stays, with plenty of room, amenities, and a guaranteed restful night's sleep, is the perfect solution for large teams. 

So can you travel for work in a large group with no stress?

Select accommodation that is suitable for your group

Our website lets you select by the number of beds, ensuring you can find a stay for however many people you need. Also, consider how much space you will need to relax in the evening, work remotely, cook, and, of course, the bathroom routines. 

Take the beautiful townhouse near Reading, for example. Sleeping 11 people, this property instantly showcases how much space your teams will have. As group sizes get large, there will be more likelihood that team members will have to share rooms. To help ensure you will have the space for each person, all of our properties feature photo libraries so that there are no surprises upon arrival. 

Try to make larger bookings ahead of time

Whilst we always have something available, we recommend choosing your stays at least a month in advance for more complex travel. This not only guarantees you will have something perfect for your needs, but you also have time to plan sleeping logistics well in advance eliminating last-minute disputes. 

Have one point of contact

This is important as managing groups can be difficult, especially in new surroundings. At Comfy Workers, we will provide you with a single point of contact ourselves so that your designated travel manager always has a clear line of communication should any issues arise. 

Consider the area 

Whilst the property is important, ensuring you have selected somewhere with outdoor space or leisure facilities close by will allow teams a space to go and decompress should they need some alone time. 

Take parking into account

Bigger groups often mean multiple vehicles, so make sure you plan ahead by booking a property that can offer you ample parking for all of your team's needs. This is just another example of how a bit of forward-planning can make a world of difference to your experience. 

Most importantly, travelling for work should be a positive experience and one that you may have missed out on over recent years due to the pandemic. 

After all, reducing stress and working away from home happily in large groups, workforce teams and contracting groups can be achieved.

Just select the perfect cosy stay for you and turn your trip into a workcation; you and your team deserve it!
