Flock Issue 1

ISSUE 1

Exclusive Collection Managing Director Danny Pecorelli reveals the rationale behind the hospitality group’s name change and how it is reflecting its customers hopes, challenges and ambitions.

PAGES 2——3

Flock is our initiative to build a community to share and address key issues our customers face in their daily corporate lives. In this edition our trusted partners and business leaders talk high-performing teams, wellness, innovation and sustainability.

Times are changing and we’re changing as a response to that. We’ve decided to rename the group Exclusive Collection, which gives us licence to offer different things, making us look more contemporary and better representing what we do.

Our old name, Exclusive Hotels and Venues pre-defined what we are capable of. We have six hotels, two spas, a golf club, a cookery school and even a little pub in the Cotswolds. All in all, a thoroughly modern and eclectic offering. Being a family business, there are fewer managerial layers, empowering us to respond to market demands.

For instance, people’s idea of luxury has changed: they now prefer authentic experiences rather than a stiff, starchy corporate one.

Exclusive ambition

A case in point is SEASON, The Exclusive Cookery School in the grounds of Lainston House, our property near Winchester in Hampshire, where people can learn from award winning, Michelinstarred chefs. Our brand new spa at South Lodge in the heart of the South Downs, meanwhile, is one of the best of its kind in the UK featuring a state-ofthe-art gym and spin studio, indoor pool, outdoor hydrotherapy pool, wild swimming pool, a thermal suite and a comprehensive range of treatments.

We’ve replaced our rather traditional crests with a more modern identity: a single animal to represent each of our locations. For example, there is a sheep for South Lodge in Sussex and a horse for Royal Berkshire in Ascot.

We continually evolve our customer journey too.

At Pennyhill Park in Bagshot, Surrey, we’ve created an indoor cherry blossom walkway and simplified the check-in process so we don’t ask the same boring questions. Whichever one of our destination people visit, they can expect the same ethos and evolving service standards, tied in to what we call our ‘four pillars’: wellness, innovation, sustainability and high-performing teams. We’ve fully integrated this into what we provide for the meetings and events market. Our food and beverage offer now includes more plant-based menus and energy-filled snacks. Plus, we try and source as locally as we can - that’s why we have South Downs mineral water and why Ridgeview wine is our house pour.

We’ve thought about sustainability in details such as recyclable coffee cups and Sprout pencils which contain plantable seeds. We’ve continued the four pillars ethos into how we treat our staff too, from offering healthier meal options and staff fitness classes to incorporating a mindfulness app in our internal communications. The staff accommodation at Pennyhill Park even has a biomass boiler which produces heat using wood pellets. We’ve spent two years upgrading the experience and service levels to focus on creating happiness in every one of our locations. This is going to change how people view us and what they expect when they come to visit.

First-person experience by senior executive John Roussot

PAGES 6 ——7

In times of economic uncertainty and global complexity, what goes on in the boardroom should take inspiration from the sports field says Ed Chacksfield, Senior Consultant, Inspirational Development Group (IDG)

We work in a world of unprecedented change and opportunity due to the digital revolution. Whilst undoubtedly giving us tremendous benefits in terms of interconnectivity, speed of communication and access to information, these advances have had many consequences, including unhealthy levels of stress and anxiety, caused by an inability to switch off from our working lives.

Our hyper-connected world has now created and embedded an ‘always-at-work’ culture. The lines between work and rest have been blurred by connected technology, and this has contributed to an increase in mental health issues. The World Health Organisation (WHO) stated as far back as 2002 in a report called Mental Health and Work: Impact, Issues and Good Practices, that by 2020 stress (defined here as an inability to cope with perceived pressure) and depression would be the major source of ill health globally.

Says Dean Becker, CEO of executive coaching firm Adaptiv Learning Systems,”More than education, more than experience, more than training, a person’s level of resilience determines who succeeds and who fails.

That’s true in the cancer ward, it’s true in the Olympics, and it’s true in the boardroom.”

Leaders who want to survive and thrive in such an operating environment need therefore to think like a ‘business athlete’ and develop a resilient mindset, consisting of both mental and physical discipline.

Personal resilience, like any other skill, can be learnt and developed through effortful thought and practice.

Change Readiness

The key ingredients of resilience include the ability to adapt to stressful situations or crises; the ability to steer through everyday challenges more easily; the ability to roll with the punches or bounce back from adversity without lasting difficulties and being ready to reach out more frequently for challenges and experiences to fulfil one’s potential.

Resilient people can deal with change more readily; from fundamental life-changing events to relatively incremental work-based changes.

The table above makes a clear personal and business case for building one’s resilience. This flourishing quadrant suggests a more expansive view whereby change may be viewed as an opportunity for personal growth and gaining new perspectives and skills. It’s a quadrant in which we are able not just to cope, but to actually thrive.

What is clear is that we are able to be more resilient: the essential skills are quite ordinary.

The latest thinking on personal resilience recommends a number of key approaches to bolster and build effective resilience:

High

Exercising Mindfulness There is an increasing body of evidence that is now pointing to the efficacy of mindful practices in increasing mental flexibility, self-awareness and the ability to lead through complex situations.

In their article “How To Bring Mindfulness Into Your Company” (Harvard Business Review), Reitz and Chaskalson point to three ‘MetaCompetencies’ of mindfulness developed through 10 minutes of mindful practice each day. The first is ‘Metacognition’, which is the ability to choose at crucial times to simply observe what you are thinking, feeling, and sensing.

It is like stepping out of a fast-flowing and sometimes turbulent stream onto the riverbank so you can actually see what’s going on. When you learn to do this, you can better see your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses for what they are.

The second, ‘Acceptance' refers to the ability to let what is the case, be the case. It’s about meeting your experience with a spirit of openness and kindness to yourself and others.

Finally, 'Curiosity', means taking a lively interest in what has shown up in our inner and outer worlds. Without curiosity, we have no impetus for bringing our awareness into the present moment and staying with it.

Sleep, Diet and Exercise Most people admit to not getting enough sleep (WHO recommend 7-8 hours), eating too much refined sugar, drinking too many caffeine drinks and not taking 30 minutes of exercise every day.

A healthy body and mind set a tone that can help build resilience to face challenges in a more productive manner.

Sleep is a key factor in building stamina and reducing stress. The most effective way of maintaining good sleep patterns is to go to bed and get up at exactly the same time every day and that includes Saturday and Sunday. The body gets used to the predictability of this routine and responds accordingly.

To build resilience it’s important to understand and recognise how your own levels of energy and performance fluctuate. What is it that you can do to prepare yourself mentally and physically during demanding periods of your life? This can range from clearing the diary of any potential late nights before an especially busy week, to maintaining hydration, taking exercise and enjoying non-workrelated social time. Rest and recovery afterwards are also vital in restoring mental and physical resources.

Social Support Social support refers to our personal relationships.

As Donald Robertson points out in his book Build Your Resilience, “Research on resilience has pointed towards social support being the most protective factor... probably the thing we know with most certainty.” Having interactions with those people who give you support, purpose and feeling connected drives perseverance through difficult times. For those coming back from significant trauma, the power of interconnectivity is cited in almost every case study.

The ability to talk things through, share your concerns, learn from positive role models and receive appropriate encouragement, all have a huge effect in reducing stress.

The digital world in which we live and work offers wonderful opportunities for communication and collaboration. However, to thrive in this work environment we must develop an athlete’s sense of self-discipline and not only differentiate our work and our free time, but also mitigate the long term effects on our mental and physical wellbeing.

There are many elements that build resilience and no single method or skill works independently in its development and maintenance. We must work on as many of them as possible to succeed not only professionally but personally. The world is changing, and to build resilience we must commit to making some changes now.

Don’t Look Down! Have a Digital Detox Excessive smartphone use has certain parallels with addiction and overuse of smart phones has been linked to a number of long term health risks, including low self-esteem, poor interpersonal communication skills, and insomnia. Disrupted sleep patterns caused by constant cognitive arousal are costing businesses billions of dollars a year in lost productivity. It is important therefore to practise healthy digital habits. This can include not checking the device before bed and even leaving it outside the bedroom. Make social time a digital free zone. Take up hobbies that don’t require looking at a digital device repeatedly.

Be aware that the longest time the mind can work at an optimum performance is between 90-120 minutes. These productive periods should be interspersed with short rest periods, and you should try to get completely away from work for a period of time each day.

John Roussot RB Health

I am passionate about excellence, leadership development and liberating greatness in individuals and teams which was why I was interested in attending Exclusive Collection’s South Lodge hotel in June. Taking Exclusive’s four pillars as its basis: wellness, innovation, sustainability and high performing teams, the focus of the event was on what businesses can learn from high performing teams. In particular, it looked at how the quality of resilience can relate to business, especially in uncertain and challenging economic times.

The environment in which proceedings throughout the day and evening were held really fitted the bill too, with lots of natural light in the main room, giving delegates access to daylight instead of being in a dark, airless conference suite. Attendees could also use South Lodge’s outdoor facilities as well, so there was ample opportunity for us to get a bit of fresh air and also have a chat and network at the same time.

South Lodge’s management team also practised what was being preached in terms of wellness, with a concerted emphasis on healthy eating, both during the working lunch and also during dinner. The presence of nuts and blueberries instead of the usual sweet treats and plenty of water to keep us hydrated throughout the event was also appreciated. It’s very much in line with the optimum performance-orientated focus of the event and meant we were able to concentrate fully throughout the day.

It wasn’t just the delegates who were given the means to perform to the best of their ability. I’m reminded of the quote by renowned leadership expert John C. Maxwell who said "Everything rises and falls on leadership".

It’s wonderful to see their focus and commitment to developing as leaders, and by extending their influence, bringing like-minded people together to learn and grow.

When it comes to the team at Exclusive Collection, they've successfully hired nice people with good hearts and a sincere desire to serve, providing an excellent experience and building sincere relationships. And the result is not a mystery… excellent service! I’m grateful to be on that journey with them. It was an outstanding experience at South Lodge. I want to congratulate them on what I thought was an excellent event with IDG and Eddie Jones, and I thought David and the South Lodge team did a superb job of hosting the event. I'm really looking forward to the next one with Jonny Wilkinson.

John Roussot, Global Commercial Capability Director with consumer goods company RB Health, shares his thoughts after attending the first in a series of ‘four pillars’ events hosted

by Exclusive Collection, in partnership with Inspirational Development Group (IDG), on what business can learn from sport

I particularly enjoyed the content on personal resilience

by England Rugby Football Union Head Coach, Eddie Jones and also Jo Hopkins, IDG associate consultant’s presentation on The Business Athlete, which again reinforced what the corporate world can take from sport in terms of creating and sustaining high-performance and high satisfaction among your staff. This covered everything from physiological elements such as getting enough sleep and maintaining a healthy diet to trying a digital detox and practicing mindfulness.

Well done Wellness is a watchword in the professional world so here are some top tips for a well work environment

Maintaining mental health

Greening the office

According to a survey conducted by software firm Breathe, nearly a quarter of people would rather take an unexplained sick day than discuss their mental health issues with their employers.

From a green wall in reception to a proliferation of pot plants around the workplace, a bit of greenery goes a long way. As well as absorbing carbon dioxide and making the office look more attractive, there are psychological benefits to be had too.

Forward-thinking employers are tackling this head on, providing things like mental health first aiders, as well as people on-site to deal with staff’s physical symptoms, and quiet, meditative spaces for staff to get away from the hustle and bustle of the open-plan workspace.

According to 2014 research by the University of Exeter, adding just one plant per square metre improved employees’ memory retention and performance in basic tests.

Cutting down on noise

While it isn’t necessary to put a running track on the roof at they did at London’s White Collar Factory, grabbing some air shouldn’t just be the preserve of smokers on their breaks.

Property firm Cushman & Wakefield’s report on wellness states that over half of employees report that even ambient noise reduces their work satisfaction and productivity.

Many new office buildings now include a roof terrace which doubles up as extra workspace but even opening up an unloved courtyard or providing new furniture on a terraced area could encourage employees to leave their desks.

There are lots of products on the market to keep things at a lower volume from ceiling panels to screens to lampshades made of special felt. Clearly signposting areas for quieter, more concentrated work could also do the trick.

Let there be light

Flex it up

As autumn and winter approach, it’s worth bearing in mind that Forbes recently reported that 40% of office workers struggle to work in poor lighting every day.

Most people fall into the ‘ambivert’ category throughout the working day.

Lack of access to light has been associated with a range of health conditions from eye strain to headaches to seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Solutions range from placing desks around the perimeter of an office to maximise natural daylight to staff using an app to control their own lighting.

At certain times, they are craving the comfort of their own desks for concentrated work and at other times needing to break out and collaborate so provide plenty of variety of settings to keep them happy. This can be as simple as a breakfast bar in the kitchen for an impromptu catch up or an executive office that doubles up as a meeting room.

Get some fresh air

PAGES 14 ——15

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the kitchen door these days. Lewis Hamblet, Executive Chef at Exclusive Collection’s South Lodge, explains how mindful consumers are driving the green trend that goes far beyond more vegetables on your plate

We want to give our guests the same great experience they’ve always had, but we are also aiming to reduce our food wastage. That’s why we’ve introduced concepts like ‘bowl food’ - which has become big since Harry and Meghan served it at their wedding.

We do have meat options, usually chicken, fish or beef. The butcher who supplies us actually farms his own beef. We try to source as locally as possible. We use a company called Love for Local - they get things for us such as ‘wonky’ strawberries and ‘wonky’ vegetables.

The traditional meat and three veg is definitely dying out. Instead, Mediterranean or Asian inspired dishes work particularly well with bowl food you can have a few types, say edamame tofu or kimchi (great source of probiotics) with sticky rice. Because you know that generally people will have about two bowls each, you can easily make exactly the right amount. There’s also a definite trend towards gluten-free food and we try to strip out the allergens at source, which means using imaginative and interesting substitutes. Veganism’s definitely not a fad, it’s a movement and at our Botanica restaurant, we’ve worked hard on a more plant-based menu.

There’s even a blueberry farm that backs onto the grounds, you can’t get closer than that! Our meeting and events guests particularly enjoy snacks such as blueberries, as well as nuts and raisins.

One of our signature dishes is our ‘wasted burger’ made from beetroot and carrot pulp – a bi-product of freshly squeezed juice. The chips we serve with the burger come from potato skins.

We also have our kitchen garden at South Lodge, where we harvest everything from figs to beetroot to spinach. We have a rocket composter so kitchen waste gets put to good use in the flower and plant borders on site. In line with the four pillars, wellness is a priority for our staff too, they have a vegan Monday for example. We try to live this ourselves, not just tick a box.

Feet

first

These days senior executives are under so much pressure and this is only set to increase in the global marketplace. They simply don’t have time to reconnect with themselves and this can lead to poor decision making, distraction and even staff absenteeism.

A walk of this kind makes great use of these properties’ extensive grounds and the surrounding countryside, with the guide sharing his or her knowledge of the flora, fauna and geology. These are things we often desensitise ourselves from, but here you’re free from the distractions of the working world. We’ve worked with clients in the fields of law, leisure, retail and FMCG.

Outdoor adventure company Pied A Terre Adventures provides a literal and metaphorical breath of fresh air for conference attendees, explains its co-founder Richard Betts patadventures.com

A walk allows time for people to mentally digest their own experiences, clear their minds and tackle challenges from new perspectives. It’s not just an opportunity for inward reflection, but also a time to talk to colleagues and peers in a relaxed environment away from the office.

When guests return from a walk, they will be refreshed, relaxed and ready to tackle the rest of the conference or meeting. Or they can simply relax with a drink on the terrace. When executives spend at least 60% of their waking life at work, that reduces their ability to exercise and stay healthy. Our body is designed for movement and activity, not sitting at a desk or conference table for several hours a day. This experience provides a way for people to get moving in a stress-free, natural manner.

A guided walk promotes two of Exclusive Collection’s four pillars: wellness and sustainability. This isn’t a hightech, high-impact event, it’s just simply walking, talking and reconnecting.

FLOCK

That’s why we decided to offer Pied A Terre Adventures at the Exclusive Collection’s destinations, where we run guided walks. That could be a short burst of an hour or so or a half or a full day’s walking, all built in to a conference or events programme. Group sizes are kept small, typically 10-20 people. As well as a passion for the outdoors and experience in dealing with business leaders, on a practical level our qualified guides have public liability insurance and first aid training too.

Value +dded

Technology has advanced rapidly in the last decade to open up literally hundreds of new ways to engage and connect with delegates. The number of apps and software platforms available makes for a formidable landscape of choices so the key to navigating this is to start with objectives. What should the delegates think about differently as a result of this interaction? Or what crucial information must they be able to access? How would this software help to connect delegates in a business-focused way? Deciding on the specific desired benefits of any technology used within an event helps to distinguish the ‘gimmicky’ options from the really valuable tools.

For example, being able to ask questions, run instant polls and display the results in real time is a great way of having a meaningful two-way conversation with audiences. This is easily achievable now with only standard Wi-Fi access web browsers on delegates own devices: no need to download apps. Similarly, asking potential audiences to contribute in crafting the itinerary of the event has become more achievable with short video teasers, poll consultation on workshop/ breakout sessions and even the totally agenda-free ‘unconference’. All these help to create connection and commitment before an event starts.

‘Gamification’ has become another increasingly popular way of presenting business messages in a creative format. One of our recent clients revolutionised the concept of internal client referrals by creating a tabletop ‘ice cream parlour’ game with printed pieces. By posing the idea of cross-selling the companies different services as an ice cream parlour making a client’s perfect order, they used different ‘toppings’ to represent the business products and then asked delegates to create an ice-cream to match specific clients’ needs. This linked a very effective training session along with a fun, memorable team building activity!

To use all these tools successfully, possibly the largest area of innovation one can apply is in the approach to event planning. Focusing deeply on crafting the event experiences that enable audiences to leave with the desired information, training and attitudes opens up a wealth of new approaches. And all the technology, bespoke games and itinerary inventions are then there to deliver those bold, new concepts!

From the latest technology to innovative ways to problem solve as a group, Nicky Whyman, Commercial Director with KDM reveals the secrets to running a successful event in 2019

Innovation is crucial to the continuing success of any business, whether that be in the area of products, services or infrastructure. Staff and customer communications are an important part of this mix so how can we ensure that business events are applying new ideas and concepts to create real value?

PAGES 20 ——21

While the stereotype of the office Christmas party usually involves a lot of alcohol and hazy memories, enlightened employers are using the opportunity to motivate and reward their staff. The effects can last way beyond the festive period.

A Christmas party consisting of drinks, dinner and the chance for a dance afterwards may be the traditional format, but your staff might appreciate something different this year. If you’re stuck for ideas, why not ask them what they’d like to do? A social committee made up of people from various parts of the business is a way to ensure the positive news about the annual Christmas bash cascades throughout the business.

Before bringing out the egg nogs, snowballs or even a special Champagne tasting session, bosses could use the opportunity of everyone gathered together to reflect on the hard work and achievements of their teams over the year. Perhaps employees might not be in the mood for an elaborate, lengthy speech at their Christmas party, but an awards ceremony or recognising teams and individual’s effort, particularly for departments that aren’t always in the spotlight, might help raise staff morale.

It might also encourage different departments to communicate as they share the limelight.

A typical workforce these days is made up of people who might not all enjoy a traditional Christmas tipple for health or cultural reasons, so why not move the focus away from the consumption of alcohol? How about a private cinema screening of a classic Christmas movie so

Party planning Christmas might come but once a year but plan your event well with the help of creative and experienced partners, and you could reap the rewards all year round everyone can enjoy It’s A Wonderful Life or Home Alone together? Pennyhill Park has a screening room and many of the Exclusive Collection’s other properties have private rooms with large screens great for projecting on.

Another option would be your staff learning how to cook Christmas dinner or decorating a Christmas cake at SEASON, The Exclusive Cookery School at Lainston House before tucking into turkey and all the trimmings. Bring out colleagues’ competitive streak with a Christmas quiz at the Castle Inn or for those in finevoice, Fanhams Hall offers a Karaoke Christmas sing-a-long.

Christmas is a time to celebrate, so channel the positive energy of a well thought out party and it could reap dividends in terms of motivating your workforce well into the New Year.

Family affair PAGES 22——23

Ridgeview has been producing wines from its Sussex home for nearly a quarter of a century. It has always maintained a family-run ethos, ensuring everyone who works there is looked after and performs to the best of their ability. This is a view shared by Exclusive Collection, which is also a family business, and forms one of its four pillars.

Like Exclusive Collection, Ridgeview is a family-run business that provides a nurturing environment that enables highperforming teams

Established by Mike and Christine Roberts in 1995, with a view to putting the company and the UK on the international winemaking map, Ridgeview is now managed by the second-generation of the Roberts family, with Tamara Roberts at the helm as CEO and her brother Simon Roberts heading up the winemaking.

Situated at the foot of the picturesque South Downs National Park, Ridgeview takes advantage of a perfect climate for sparking wine viticulture.

Geography is one thing, but it’s the working environment that really makes the difference. The company has grown to a workforce of over thirty people with the philosophy that every member of the team is part of the Ridgeview family. It’s a caring workplace which prides itself on having an active social committee arranging fun external activities. There is a top-down philosophy that ‘Life is For Celebrating’ and this flows through all aspects of the business whether it’s staff birthdays or individual or teams’ hard work. This has paid off recently as Ridgeview won Winemaker of the Year in the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) in 2018.

The Ridgeview family extends beyond those who are currently employed to those who have passed through the ranks over the years. The company has trained many UK winemakers that have gone onto other English wineries just as the Exclusive Collection are equally proud to have taught some of UK’s best chefs before moving on to open their own restaurants.

Both businesses continue their strong relationship with past employees and offer them support in their future careers.

Ideas for innovation PAGES 24 ——25

Innovation can help businesses improve in a myriad of ways from product development to entering new markets

Create an ideas culture

Bring new people in

Brainstorming shouldn’t just be the preserve of an away day: ideas are the lifeblood of an innovative company. Your staff know the business inside out as they are close to the action, so ask them for suggestions as to how to improve.

While it’s tempting to hire in your likeness or surround yourself with "yes men", business leaders would do well to employ people whose opinions you don’t necessarily agree with.

Create an environment where people feel comfortable putting forward ideas, in all kinds of scenarios from meetings to an online suggestion box.

When recruiting, embrace difference, whether that’s in terms of people’s educational backgrounds or what they do outside work. It could make your existing staff think differently too.

Outsource

Whether it’s moving from paper to digital formats or taking your server out of the room in the corner and onto the cloud, innovative companies are always on the look out for the latest technology.

Subcontracting sometimes has negative connotations but only if you lose control of the quality of service you provide.

By outsourcing simple processes within your business, you might in fact be able to reach your objectives quicker than if everything is done in house. Outsourcing needn’t stop there, why not challenge an academic institution or a start up to develop new ideas for your business.

They understand that far from fearing tech, it can in fact help them do business quicker and smarter, making them improve their bottom line and reduce costs at the same time.

Get feedback

Share the risk (and success)

While it might feel like these days, the simplest transaction is followed up with a request for feedback, picking and choosing a time to find out what your customers really think could pay dividends.

Innovative companies aren’t afraid to fail, it’s the lifeblood of how they learn so cultivate an organisational culture that doesn’t penalise people for trying.

Find out what new features your customers would appreciate, whether that’s greater choice, new features or a less complicated service and you could be increasing your customers’ spend by a significant margin by making simple changes.

Share the responsibility for innovating so everybody feels bought in to the process with the fewer layers of management the better. And when things do go right, reward staff and celebrate success.
