Offsites are great, but they also raise some challenging questions as a team grows to include people in more diverse circumstances:

How does this scale to team members with accessibility or mobility constraints?

How about team members who are the primary carer for a child or elderly person in their household and might not be able to take a week off?

Travel budget is one of my favorite benefits -- participating in national and international conferences is win-win for the employee and the company who sends them -- but at the same time I recognize that many people aren't in a place to take advantage of travel and might be better served by a more flexible perk.
