In today’s fast-paced corporate world, productivity and well-being go hand in hand. Companies are realizing that successful business events are not just about meetings and presentations — they’re about creating balance, engagement, and inspiration. One of the best ways to achieve that balance is by incorporating wellness breaks into your agenda.
At Best Western Inn on the Bay, located on the stunning shores of Georgian Bay in Owen Sound, we help organizations host meetings and corporate retreats that prioritize both performance and well-being. Here’s how wellness-focused breaks can elevate your next business event.
1. Boost Focus with Fresh Air and Scenic Views
There’s something rejuvenating about stepping outside and breathing in fresh, lakeside air. Between sessions, encourage attendees to take a short stroll along Georgian Bay or simply relax on the terrace overlooking the water. These natural moments of calm help refresh the mind, improve focus, and spark creativity — especially after long strategy sessions.
2. Energize the Day with Mindful Movement
Movement is a great way to keep energy levels high during conferences or workshops. Incorporate guided stretch breaks, light yoga sessions, or short walks around the property. Our team can arrange wellness activities led by local instructors — perfect for helping participants reset and refocus without leaving the venue.
3. Nourish the Body with Wholesome Dining Options
Healthy eating is essential for productivity. Our catering team can design menus featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and nutritious options that keep energy levels steady throughout the day. From smoothie breaks and fruit-infused water stations to balanced lunch buffets, we make mindful dining a natural part of your business event.
4. Create Space for Reflection and Connection
Wellness isn’t just physical — it’s also mental and emotional. Adding quiet moments to reflect, meditate, or enjoy conversation by the bay can make your event more meaningful. Our meeting spaces and outdoor lounges are designed to inspire connection, offering the perfect balance between focus and relaxation.
5. Transform Meetings into Meaningful Experiences
By integrating wellness into your corporate itinerary, you show your team that their well-being matters. The result? Higher engagement, deeper collaboration, and a more memorable experience overall. Whether it’s a half-day workshop or a multi-day retreat, Best Western Inn on the Bay offers a peaceful, inspiring environment that makes every meeting more productive — and every guest more refreshed.
At Best Western Inn on the Bay on Georgian Bay, we believe that great ideas flourish in calm, inspiring settings. Our meeting spaces, wellness amenities, and natural surroundings provide everything you need to host a business event that’s both productive and rejuvenating.
