The Rebellion: Repli Corporate Retreat Builds Bonds in Remote-Work Environment

When people think of ‘business trips’ they tend to think of sending employees to meetings with clients, visits to another office to meet coworkers, or attending a conference across the country. But  Repli continues to rebel against the status quo. 

In February 2023, Repli brought together their remote team to meet in person at the first-ever rebranded Rebellion Retreat in Treasure Island, Florida.

23 members of Repli traveled by planes, trains, and automobiles from across the nation, to a beautiful hotel by the beach for 4 days of company training, career development, and relationship building. 

The Rebellion Retreat was an opportunity to build on what Repli is most proud of and known for; their company culture through a newly developed Culture Code. The goal was to embed the culture code into Repli’s daily thinking to always ensure every member has a heart for the mission, their clients, and each other. 

“Introducing something as big as the culture code is not an easy feat. So there was no better way to show that we're going All In on the code than by hosting The Rebellion,” says Siobhan Park, the Head of Training and Marketing at Repli. “Using the culture code as a guide, our team had the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on how we work together and how we show up for our clients. And the Rebellion Retreat did just that.” 

By bringing together a remote team from across the nation, Repli was able to grow their rebellion, improve their company culture and overall prove that the team is Better Together. The 4-day retreat was filled with training opportunities, career growth, and company developmental strategies.

From understanding the importance of effective communication in a team pitch competition to breaking down how to communicate feedback appropriately, the Rebellion expanded the team’s knowledge of each other and helped with growing professional skills that Repli identified the team could benefit from.

“We set out to develop our collective strengths, identify our challenges, and enrich collaboration as a united team. It's just another way that we're shaking shit up for good,” Siobhan Park continues. 

With a remote team, some of the Repli team members had NEVER met in person. With team activities, projects, and tons of free time, the Rebellion was an opportunity for everyone to collaborate, get to know each other, spend time building real relationships and have fun. 

“Overall it was a great experience! Everything from boat rides to dancing with team members, Repli is making revolutionary steps to make sure people feel valued and appreciated through a fun, positive culture,” says Julia Sharrock, Web Designer at Repli. “The best part is, we're just getting started. I’m looking forward to all the exciting things coming this year and I can't wait for next year's Rebellion!”

Anyone could tell you that Repli is obsessed with taking care of their people but that’s not all. Repli emphasizes that they are fed up with convention, and find deep satisfaction, exhilaration, and purpose in solving for inefficiencies in the multifamily industry. Repli pushes the envelope to bring about positive change, a fresh perspective, and even reawakening processes in the industry. 

“The incredibly welcoming, and dedicated culture of Repli along with the long-lasting relationships built with clients and other coworkers has obviously been a huge contributing factor to Repli’s success over the last 5 years,” says Emma Mae Sheedy, Marketing Manager at Repli. “Because of Repli’s culture, every member of the team is excited for tomorrow. We are all ready to take on any challenge and change the game of multifamily marketing.”

The passion and drive of the Repli Rebellion has only grown since February. The Rebellion was a key factor in not just bringing everyone together for a fun week or learning more about career development, but proving that Repli is the definition of Rebels with a Cause. 

Through the bonds built at the Rebellion retreat, Repli employees are now refreshed, open to new ideas, and have a stronger motivation for cross-departmental projects and activities. 

Siobhan Park says, “There has definitely been an improvement in team collaboration. The team now knows and understands each other so much better than before. I think productivity has increased too!” 

Repli believes if there is a will, there is a way. Mastery is their motivation and their goal is to become experts through improved action. Repli continues to break the rules and destroy what isn’t working. 

Repli continues to grow their business and culture by bringing people into the Rebellion that are passionate about improving what’s already out there, fixing what doesn’t work, and rebelling against the status quo. 

Repli is a class of their own, and is shaking sh*t up for good.
