Boost Office Morale With These Unique Celebration Ideas
It’s true – a happy office is a productive office! Sometimes, working in the corporate world can start to feel repetitive, 9-5, day in, week out. Give your team something to look forward to and celebrate their hard work with some team building event excitement. Here are 4 ideas to get your party creativity flowing and your team connecting!
NOT YOUR AVERAGE HOLIDAY PARTY
Most businesses recognize the winter holiday season in some way, by offering time off, a relaxed workday prior to the holiday or even an after-hours dinner party. Think outside the box by throwing your team a party throughout the year, giving them something to look forward to. Some unique ideas for festivities may include an Earth Day celebration, some Canada Day fun or an October costume party.
BRING YOUR PET TO WORK DAY
Though you may not be able to foster a working environment that allows for pets in the office each day, celebrating a goal achievement or milestone with a special day where your 4-legged friends can join in could be just the boost of fun your team needs. Worried about in-office allergies? Take your pet party to a local park and enjoy the benefits of some fresh air and vitamin D while you’re at it.
NOMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE CHARITY EXTRAVAGANZA
Take your employee-of-the-month recognition to new heights by supporting the organizations that your team is passionate about. Consider allotting a small monetary donation or some volunteer time to a charity that is chosen by your top-producing or nominated employee of the month. One Forbes study even showed that 96% of employees believe showing empathy is an important way to advance employee retention – full hearts all around.
TEAM MOVIE TIME
As your team cruises through achieving the goals that you’ve set for them, celebrate with a movie screening to reward them for their hard work. Have a voting system to ensure your movie selection aligns with your team demographic and then set out the popcorn, drinks and sweet treats or head to the theatre together and let the cinematic screening experience begin.
There really are so many ways to celebrate your staff – so ditch the typical pizza lunch and find something fun and engaging that leaves your team feeling valued and motivated! And, don’t forget to find more unique employer ideas over on our blog
