About This Retreat Experience with Midstay
In this video, Fifi and Hilmi from GOBI Partners’ Human Resources team talk about their retreat experience with Midstay.
Gobi Partners is an Asia-focused venture capital firm headquartered in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. Founded in 2002, Gobi has since expanded to 15 locations.
With a globally distributed team working across countries and time zones, face-to-face interaction can be limited, leading to potential miscommunication and disconnect.
To reinforce their “ONE Gobi” culture, Gobi partnered with Midstay to design a transformational team retreat in Cebu, Philippines.
GOBI Partners had a very successful retreat in Cebu, including; strategic workshops, fun, sunny activities that fostered connections on intellectual, emotional and relational levels.
Midstay’s planning, emergency management and on-site support ensured that everyone was fully focused on connecting and collaborating.
