If you’re planning a teambuilding exercise or a morale booster, you’re likely already considering a corporate event. As a way to bring your team together, get them collaborating, and build trust, corporate events have been proven effective time and time again. Whether they’re small, intimate gatherings that bring your management teams together or massive, company-wide galas that aim to introduce – and celebrate – your staff, a good event inspires your team and – most importantly – doesn’t feel like work! In today’s post, we’re going to look at the benefits of planning a corporate event that feels more like a party than work.
Engagement
One of the most difficult goals of any corporate event is employee buy in. You want your employees to be engaged, interested in what’s happening, and excited about your company’s vision. A standard event risks being perceived as “unfun” and – by extension – too work-like. When you plan an event around celebrating and creating excitement, it’s much easier to get your employees on board and participating.
Unity
Everyone’s been in a meeting where the perception is more “us versus them” than “us together.” Traditional, buttoned-up events risk this perception, putting employees into a mindset that isn’t conducive to corporate improvement. By planning a get-together – a party – for your employees, you create a more casual environment that encourages your employees to mingle and forge new relationships.
