“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.”
This old proverb is hard-hitting and states a truth that we often want to ignore. According to data, taking a break (vacations to be precise) every three months, even if the duration is for a few days, increases productivity. So, you can’t really expect your employees to keep working hard and be productive when you don’t allow them to take breaks. That is just not fair!
Yes, you can’t go on an outing every three months, but you can make a lot of just one outing if it is done right. If you are planning a corporate holiday event, then you need to be aware of a few techniques to ensure that it a grand success. A few points have been summarized as follows. Keep reading to find out more.
Location is more important than you realize
Whether for a night or for a week, the duration doesn’t matter. What really makes a difference is the place of visit. It should be easily accessible, if not, make sure you have proper transport facilities available for all the employees. It is of utmost importance that the place of the visit should offer some interests and attractions to keep the employees entertained. You don’t want your employees to complain about how boring the trip was!
You need to have food and refreshment handy
Whether it is a full-course meal or snacks, an open bar or buffet, you must ensure that your employees have the best gastronomical experience. Well, you don’t have to hire Michelin starred chefs, but at least look for a decent one, who maintains the basic level of hygiene and definitely packs a punch in terms of taste. In fact, look for corporate packages which include food and refreshment as a part of the itinerary.
Plan a bunch of activities to engage them
No, we don’t mean passing the pillow or musical chair. Even 10 years old don’t play these games anymore! Agreeably, these old games do have a sense of nostalgia attached to them, but come on, running around and fighting for a chair in a corporate tour is not a great option. The best thing to do is arrange for bonfires or maybe take a quick stroll along the place of visit. You can ask the hotel or the resort to set up a photo-booth shop or one with souvenirs. Poolside rendezvous is again a classy engagement activity.
Interaction is the key
You might be the one who takes all the decisions, but it is the employees who work hard to help you realize your goals and motives. With the environment chilled and everyone seemingly free of work pressure, it is a great opportunity to interact with them and get to know the employees better. Participate in various activities with them. This will help you all build a better bond! And make sure that nobody gets left out.
