Where to Hold an Off-Site Meeting in Barrie

SuiteWorks Boardroom
It could be that you just don't have a pleasant clear space to get everyone together, or you may be thinking of the advantages of holding your meeting away from the distractions of the office. Whatever the reason, you'll want to find the best location, a location that has the environment and services to make your meeting a success.

In Barrie, professional meeting space is limited. For small meetings you may be most familiar with coffee locations, Williams, Starbucks, Café Cappuccino and for larger gatherings your options include conference rooms at local Hotels and Inns or the Barrie Public Library.

SuiteWorks Meeting Room
We'd like you to consider another venue when it comes to setting up your next off-site gathering. At SuiteWorks we can accommodate groups from 1 to 50 in professional boardrooms. You can also set up multiple rooms, if for example you need break out sessions or space for training groups. Perhaps you're looking for professional space off-site to meet one on one with employees. We can handle small meetings or large.

The advantage to using SuiteWorks is that our meeting space and services are flexible to your needs. Boardrooms can be booked by the hour, 1/2 day or full day. We can even can set up your space for evenings and weekends.

To be more productive make sure you take a break!

SuiteWorks Café Styled Lounge - Bright and Comfortable
Running a small business can often mean long hours and a demanding work day. Productivity experts are finding that one way to increase productivity and creativity is to make sure that you take regular breaks. Skipping breaks can lead to stress and exhaustion.

According to John Trougakos, University of Toronto, Rotman School of Management, mental concentration is similar to a muscle. "It becomes fatigued after sustained use and needs a rest period before it can recover", he explains. "Breaks can induce guild because they're this little oasis of personal time that we get."

Most employees need to detach from their work and recharge their internal resources. Options include walking, reading a book, chatting with a friend, or the all important lunch break.

"It's short-sighted not to take this time, or for managers to discourage employees from taking it", Professor Trougakos says.

When you're the owner of a small business or the only employee, it's easy to dismiss breaks and forget about yourself, skip lunch, or work long hours.

If you want to improve your productivity and increase your energy, make sure you schedule time for light physical activity or downtime.

At SuiteWorks our Business Centre includes an attractive lounge with café tables, beverages, and a flat panel TV. It's perfect for that well deserved coffee break and a great place to network with other businesses.
