For the past few years, the realm of conferencing has truly shifted. A shift that in many ways has seen corporates evaluating not only the validity and impact that conferences have on their immediate staff teams, but how these conferences can incorporate giving back to the community. At Granny Mouse Country House & Spa, the community is an integral part of the Hotel’s ethos, as much of the labour force comes from the local community, that they’ve restructured their conference offering to cater for the conscious conferencing corporate.
Having been a venue of choice for many a conference over the years, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa General Manager, Sean Granger, wanted to revise the manner in which conferences were run, allowing corporates to not only revive their enthusiasm and refocus their company goals, but allowing them to feel a greater sense of achievement by investing their time and effort into a community service initiative.
With the assistance of his Management Team, Granger implemented a specific conscious conferencing corporate package, which for a small fee, includes the choice of three specific community tasks. Corporates can chose from planting a series of trees, planting a vegetable garden or planting a herb garden in areas of the local community as identified by Granger and his team.
“We began this program, as we have received a number of queries from potential conferencing clients, as to what community service initiatives they could partake in should they choose our venue for their conference,” commented Granger, “and as a team, we thought it would be a great idea to incorporate these sort of elements.”
