These days a lot of thought goes into how a company projects themselves outwards but how much thought have you put into what you are projecting inwards? Your employees are the best thing about your business and corporate events are important for recognising that.

Corporate events are fantastic for team-building. If your employees do not have chance to see each other or get to know and respect each other, it can be difficult to work together efficiently. Team building events are fun and social – bringing everyone together to enjoy themselves and win a task!

Every business should also have a strategy to validate and reward their employees. The most successful businesses today acknowledge a ‘work hard, play hard’ scheme that celebrates the team, invests in them and rewards them for their hard work.

How often do your marketing team see the tech team? How often does the sales team hang out with finances? Corporate events set aside work in favour of bringing the team together – that means the leaders too! Company culture is non-existent if your business doesn’t even know each other!

Build Relationships

Great things happen when the team is brought together! Not only is it a nod to the social company culture you now have going on but it is a great opportunity to ensure you are matching people and their skill set every chance you can. When a company hosts frequent corporate events that bring everyone together, it provides the opportunity to network and get to know each other, encouraging more respect and emotional intelligence. Making the chain of communication stronger can only be a good thing!

Encourages Creativity

No one gets inspired by the same old walls day in, day out – even if did add a splash of paint and more greenery! The office just isn’t that exciting, sorry. If you really want your team to feel excited about a cause and you want to foster an atmosphere where new ideas and campaigns can flourish, you have to provide some inspiration. Input = output! Corporate events allow you to take the team somewhere new and exciting to stimulate the brain and think outside the box they work in. It also allows them to collaborate with new people in the team and you never know what brilliant business idea might come from the matching of new people and different skill sets!

Boosts Company Morale

Did you know that the better your workplace wellbeing, the less employee absences there are? Did you also know that when employees are happy, they are more loyal? When you give your employees a corporate event to let their hair down, work on team-building or acknowledge each other’s successes, you are actively working to boost the company morale and wellbeing. Corporate events are great for reducing stress and increasing motivation.

Ultimately, corporate events bring people together and that’s what life and business is all about!

YOUR STAFF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IS A PRIORITY

WHY?

So what is a corporate event and why are they important? A quote to remember “The way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers.” — Richard Branson.

Corporate events are gatherings that are sponsored by a company for its employees, clients or business partners. They come in all shapes and sizes. Company events can be large or they can be small and intimate. Your event depends on how many people you are inviting, your relationship with these individuals and the nature of your business. Each corporate event should have a purpose that leads to a positive impact on your company culture. Now let’s explore six reasons why corporate events are so important:

Validation, Interaction and Motivation

✅Validation
Company events can be very powerful in validating employees. You can give employees awards for their performance or for how they exemplify the culture and values. Employees receiving the awards will get the recognition they deserve. Plus, they will feel like they are making an impact on the company. These awards will make your employees feel valued and important. That will do wonders for productivity in your office.

If you’ve had a great quarter or year, celebrate it! Bring in your best clients and employees for a company celebration. Everyone loves to be acknowledged for their work. Celebrating success builds a company’s culture as one that realises the effort employees put into making it happen. It allows employees to relax, have fun, and know they are valued.

Everyone wants to feel appreciated, and a company event is a great way to celebrate the successes of individual employees, teams, and the company.

✅Interaction Among Employees
Company events can be vital for networking. Employees can meet colleagues or customers in person to make real connections. The most effective networking happens in a more relaxed environment where you already have a connection. Instead of suffering through tedious industry networking events, employees can use company events to make connections that can benefit their careers in the long run. The team that plays together, stays together! Company parties promote stronger bonds between individuals and their place of work, help broaden and deepen connections between colleagues, and provide a long-term value that lasts beyond the event, itself.

✅Motivation
Corporate events can also be utilised as a sales incentive. For example, if a certain sales target is reached, employees get to experience something spectacular. This is extremely effective and profitable, as the cost of the experience is covered by the sales target set. There are a variety of types of events that allow all of the above to be achieved. It could be anything from a team-building event, through to VIP hospitality experiences.

Success, Team Building, Collaboration

✅Successes
It is common sense that happy employees are productive employees, and there is no better way to keep your staff energised and motivated than by hosting a corporate event. Training sessions certainly help your employees coalesce around your company’s vision, but it is also a great time for managers and employees to learn more about each other. Most importantly, you and your executive staff can build loyalty and bond as a team by celebrating your company’s wins.

✅Team Building
Corporate events bring the team members closer to each other. It gives an opportunity to interact with each and know the strengths and weaknesses of the fellow members. This goes well in building up the team for the projects and tasks in hand. There’s often a gap in the workplace between leadership and employees. You can diminish this gap by providing everyone with a place outside of work to get to know each other. Team building activities help employees see their bosses as peers rather than unapproachable authorities. These relationships can work magic in the office.

Instead of being in a high-stress or formal work environment, company events allow employees to connect with their bosses on a human level. In fact, some employees look forward to company events because it’s the only time they can interact with their boss in a more casual environment.

✅Improve Collaboration
Employees have the opportunity to talk to new people in the company they don’t usually interact with within their normal office routine. Because employees are speaking to people in many departments, it can allow them to collaborate. This can spark creativity and new original ideas for the company they can bring back to the office Monday.

Collaborating with other people brings in fresh ideas and helps people think outside the box. When employees interact at company events, they can see things from a different point of view.

Company events also break employees from the cycle of always having to be results-driven. A staggering 75% of employees say they aren’t living up to their creative potential. That’s almost always because they feel the pressure to be productive instead of creative. Hosting a company event shows that the company cares about more than just constantly having your nose to the grindstone. It can help employees see the importance of taking a break and embracing their creative sides.
