Corporate Summer Parties - Arrange A Company Event

Aug. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Events and outings can help encourage positive relationships and generally help to improve performance for both employees and customers.

It's the time of year to start thinking about office parties! Start coming up with some ideas and remember, it is vital to show your staff and customers that you are appreciative of their work or contribution. There ought to be at least one day or evening each year, aside from the Christmas party which nobody remembers, that requires all staff to get dressed up and actually enjoy each others company.

Companies are just as responsible nowadays for making their staff happy as they are for running successful businesses. It is vital to spend time planning events that will excite staff, something that will encourage them to go that extra mile for you and your customers.

The classic gourmet summer party involving a delicious three-course dinner and as much wine as possible always goes down well. You can even arrange for cooking masterclasses for the entire team giving them the opportunity to get a little hands-on cooking experience! Any culinary disasters always make for good after-dinner jokes.

For something a little different, you might want to consider an adventure day out for the entire company. This way, there should be a vast majority of participants who have never tried the experience before in their lives. Options can include powerboating, painballing, stunt flights shooting or even Harness orbing! These types of events are only going to be suitable for certain companies and age-groups, however so don’t go booking an Aerobatic stunt flight if your staff are all ladies aged between 40-60 years, as you may end up with no staff at all.

There also hundreds of especially created corporate events (http://www.redletterevents.co.uk/solutions/hospitality_pa...) available, perfect for encouraging all your staff to get involved. Some brilliant examples include the ‘Apprentice Challenge’ during which the team will be tested on their planning skills and business acumen. This event is based on the TV show ‘The Apprentice’ during which each team will be judged on the successful completion of a treasure hunt challenge – the theme being ‘time is money!’

Another favourite is the ‘Around the World in 8 Hours’ event. The purpose of this challenge is to beat the opposing teams and find the quickest way around the streets of London using public transport only. The more places you visit, the more points you score! Lunch is provided as everybody is on the ‘move’, and this fantastic task encourages plenty of competitiveness.

Get your staff socialising and get arranging your office summer party (http://www.redletterevents.co.uk/solutions/summer_parties) or team building day.
