<p><em>This post is part of a paid campaign.</em></p>
<p>When I was working full-time, it was not uncommon for my coworkers and I to fall into phases of &#8220;not caring.&#8221; Those phases where you&#8217;re constantly wondering why you work with who you work, why it matters if the document is turned in by 5 pm as opposed to the next morning, and how in the world you&#8217;ll make it past lunch that day. Employee morale at its lowest.</p>
<p>Often times, our director would try to improve employee morale and bring back a sense of community amongst our team. Exercises such as &#8220;Share what you learned&#8221; and &#8220;Tell us what worked&#8221; were an attempt at doing this, but anyone who&#8217;s sat in on such exercises knows that they rarely truly work.</p>
<p><span id="more-3288"></span></p>
<p>My coworkers and I would often joke about adding a trip to the beach into the budget, since that would really help bring community back into our workplace. &#8220;<em>Can we have our staff meeting at a local resort</em>?&#8221; we&#8217;d say. Of course, no such luck.</p>
<p>But, some lucky team will definitely get to experience a fabulous office retreat courtesy of HP. The <a id="s2me" title="HP Reboot With ROI retreat giveaway" href="http://bit.ly/95QWoo">HP Reboot with ROI retreat giveaway</a> is providing a five-day trip to Napa for six people on your team plus a technology makeover for the office! To enter to win this prize worth $30,000, all you have to do is share a story with HP about surprising returns on something you bought. How you pick the lucky six staff members that get to go, is up to you. I don&#8217;t envy the poor soul who has to make <em>that </em>decision.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re the owner of a small business or a team member that wants to retreat from the office, head on over and share your ROI story. Good luck!</p>
<p><em>Disclosure: As part of a paid promotion via Clever Girls Collective, I was asked to share this contest information with you on behalf of HP.</em></p>
