The New Year seems not that far, as we sense the festive vibes around us already. And who does not love it!
But amidst the happy festive vibes, are you worried about your employee productivity and target completion? No worries, I got you covered with 7 wondrous ways to engage employees this Holiday season and make sure that they have a good time as well.
Let us explore the ways we make the best out of festive hours-
The Jumper Day :
Do not be a regular boring employer, at least for New Year’s eve! Arrange some fun activities, competitions or a jumper party. Set a beautiful theme and ask your employees to dress according to it. Arrange a best dressed, Creative game to cheer them up. Set up a cash prize. And the winning amount donated to someone terribly in need of it. Make a needy person- happy during this Christmas.
The Office Decorations
Beautiful decorations can give your office happy and warm vibes. The employees will feel comfortable when they work in such an environment, with positive festive vibes, and it will lift their moods and they can maintain their productivity just like their regular days.
The Award Ceremony
Employees wish to get appreciated by their team leaders at least once for all their hard work and dedication they show throughout the year. Make their New Year, a little merrier by appreciating their contribution. Organize an award ceremony to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of every employee. This will make them feel encouraged and a pat on their back will only contribute to your company's productivity.
The Secret Santa
Secret Santa can cheer up the employees, who do not like gifts after all. You do not worry about it being a hectic plan that will require too much planning. You can solely ask your employees to pick up gifts for each other secretly. It will also create a great bond between employees.
The Employees Can Leave Early
No extra working hours on New Year’s eve! This will make the employees work effectively to complete their task on time so they do not have to work overtime and enjoy the party.
Let’s Dine Together
How wonderful would it feel if all the employers and employees sit down together for dining? Eating together creates a sense of belonging among humans. It Creates a happy vibe with no differences among them. All of the team, from different departments, dining together is as lovely as it sounds. You can host this event in different ways. Like, you can select a restaurant where all of your staff can go and dine and spend the evening together. Otherwise, you can ask your employees to carry their authentic food.
A Movie Evening
Watching a movie together with friends can be so much fun. In the same way, watching movies with colleagues can also be fun. Fix an evening when the workload is minimal, and every team member attends this event. Arrange a projector and a good movie, that is it. With some snacks and soft drinks to enjoy.
