Approval Brief Builder

Choose the offsite plan. The result shows what HR should clarify before asking for quotes or management sign-off.

Decision framework

What HR should settle before procurement

The strongest offsite briefs do not over-explain. They make the objective, reviewer concern, and event-day constraints visible.

Objective

One reason to approve

Name whether the offsite is for morale, cross-team mixing, leadership alignment, celebration, or onboarding.

Reviewers

Different reviewers care about different risks

Management checks value, finance checks scope, employees check comfort, and you check delivery risk.

Agenda

The activity is one part of the day

Food, speeches, travel, prizes, and venue turnover can decide whether the best activity still works.

FAQ

Common planning questions

When should this page move into the Event Planner?

Use the Event Planner once you know approximate headcount, date range, venue direction, and the decision that is still open. The planner preserves this page context so Cohesion can respond with a sharper recommendation.

Should I choose an activity before confirming the venue?

For simple office groups, a shortlist can come first. For larger, weather-sensitive, or multi-zone events, venue fit and activity fit should move together.

Is this page replacing the activity pages?

No. This page helps you decide the direction. The activity pages still explain the actual format, game modes, setup, and request path.

Next step

Turn the page into a brief

Use the planner if you already know the rough date, group size, and event direction.
