How a fully remote team strengthened alignment through an in-person company offsite
Matthew Kilmurry, Founder & CEO of Intrinsic Digital, reflects on their third corporate retreat with Midstay: a 4-day offsite in Boracay, Philippines designed to bring 33 remote team members together for personal connection and strategic alignment.
As a remote company with employees working across locations, Intrinsic Digital recognized that collaboration happens daily, but deeper relationships and spontaneous strategic conversations are easier to create in-person.
From planning to on-site coordination in the Philippines, Midstay supported the entire corporate retreat process – allowing leadership to focus fully on their team and goals.
