Case Study: Transcend strengthens remote team cohesion with Retreat

Nancy Fonseca's Journey with Transcend's Transformative Offsites

Transcend, a remote-first company with 50-70 employees, faced the challenge of fostering team cohesion and improving collaboration after its rapid shift to remote work. The team had not met in person for over a year, and many members had never met face-to-face. To address this, Sr. Manager of People Operations and Talent Nancy Fonseca sought to plan a company-wide offsite. She turned to the vendor Retreat for assistance in orchestrating this complex logistical event.

Retreat provided a comprehensive planning service, including destination recommendations, a budget calculator, and a platform for organizing the agenda. The solution was a highly successful 3-day offsite in Santa Rosa that significantly boosted team morale and communication. The measurable impact was clear: post-retreat, internal collaboration on Slack became more organized and effective, and the event served as a rejuvenating boost that positively impacted work dynamics for the entire company.
