Meetings or seminars: take care of your decor!

Team meetings, strategy sessions, seminars - these are all proposals that don't always promise moments of grace or motivation... Why? In general, because these moments are conceived without taking into account the place in which they take place. The physical and material environment is perceived as an element of pure comfort, whereas it is the basis for the success of any human gathering.
At a time when study after study confirms that between 60% and 88% of employees have no passion for their work, and that 26% are grumblers who are toxic for the atmosphere within the company, any gathering of troops must be carried out with a motivational strategy, in addition to the need to inform. This is where the notion of environment comes into play, as it proposes to create a memorable and positive moment of sharing. Environmental logic is the salt that can help give meaning and engage employees in helping to create the future of their company.
"The meeting venue needs to be a change of scenery," explains Dolores Lionetti, Events Director at Capgemini University, which regularly works with a team of scenographers and decorators to design and personalize the site for one-day to week-long training courses. You have to immerse employees in an atmosphere if you expect them to change." As a result, many seminars are given a very special color at Campus Les Fontaines. This is because it is run like a theater stage: decor, furniture, sounds, visuals, everything is worked on to create a new atmosphere that is unique each time and helps trigger ideas and motivation. "Decor is not a trivial thing; it subtly expresses the expectations and objectives of the gathering."
The meeting or seminar environment is therefore not just a question of the beauty of the premises, luxury, or the quality of the seating, but it is above all a reflection on the rendering of a reality, and on the staging of the values you wish to transmit or build. Everything is geared towards the event: the design of the furniture, the broadcasting of content on the in-house TV channel, the posters, the graphic friezes which reproduce the messages shared in plenary sessions, and also the musical play-list which enlivens the breaks.
The Capgemini Les Fontaines Campus thus regularly gets a makeover for the duration of a seminar, to create a story and immerse employees in an elsewhere that will play on a mirror effect, or a near future that we want to reach: what we translate here - at the Capgemini Campus - by the passage from "Now" to "Next".
