Back to work
Revitalize your teams for an inspiring, high-performance back-to-school season
September
What is the "Rentrée des équipes" challenge?
The "Back to School" challenge is a tailor-made program designed to transform the back-to-school period into a catalyst for collective performance. After the summer vacations, this pivotal period represents a unique opportunity to realign your teams, redefine priorities and instill new momentum. Our approach combines collective intelligence formats, co-development workshops and strategic team building activities to create a high-impact experience. In just a few days, we help you create the conditions for a successful back-to-school that lays the foundations for a productive, engaging and collaborative year. This program can be adapted to all organizational contexts, whether for face-to-face, hybrid or fully remote teams.
Key figures
The back-to-school period is a strategic time to reset team dynamics and set the course for the months ahead. Our program transforms this often under-utilized period into a real performance gas pedal. Through innovative, participative formats, we create the conditions for a collective fresh start, in which each employee finds his or her place and role in the shared success.

Marc Lefevre
With three teams in different countries, organizing a joint back-to-school seemed an impossible challenge. OuiLive designed a hybrid experience for us that succeeded in creating a sense of unity and belonging despite the distance. The rituals put in place during the program have now become part of our daily routine.

When is the ideal time to organize our "Back to School" challenge?
The optimum period is between late August and mid-September, ideally within two weeks of the return of the majority of your employees. This timing allows you to capitalize on the energy of the return, while avoiding everyone immediately falling back into their habits and silos. For international teams or those working in shifts, we adapt the timetable while maintaining this "collective reset" logic. Our experience shows that an intervention too late (beyond the end of September) significantly loses transformational impact.
How can we adapt this program for our hybrid or remote teams?
Our "Team Re-entry" methodology has been specifically designed to work in all work environments. For hybrid or remote teams, we deploy a combination of digital collaborative tools, synchronous and asynchronous formats, and tailored immersive experiences. Our facilitators are experts in remote workshop facilitation and virtualengagement techniques. We can also create physical kits sent to your employees' homes to reinforce the sensory experience and materialize team membership, even at a distance.
What is the ideal duration for an effective back-to-school program?
Our standard program spans 2-3 days, a format that enables us to address all the essential dimensions: team reconnection, strategic alignment, collaborative planning and individual engagement . For organizations with specific constraints, we also offer condensed, intensive one-day formats or, conversely, courses spread over several weeks with shorter but regular sequences. The key is to create a sufficiently significant break with the daily routine to install new collective dynamics.
How can we measure the real impact of this high point on our performance?
Our approach systematically integrates a measurement dimension with indicators defined upstream according to your specific challenges. We establish a pre-program baseline (via questionnaires, interviews or existing data) and then measure progress at 1, 3 and 6 months. Our customers generally observe significant improvements on three key dimensions: strategic clarity (shared understanding of priorities), collaborative quality (reduction of silos, fluidity of exchanges) and individualengagement (sense of belonging, level of initiative). Our digital platform enables you to track these indicators over time.
