Company Events
A happy employee is a motivated employee. According to YouEarnedIt.com, a company that specializes in employee engagement, with employees that are happier at work, is 12 percent more productive than their unfulfilled counterparts. Why not keep employees satisfied and engaged by hosting a memorable and meaningful event? Events are the perfect opportunity to acknowledge their hard work and show your appreciation.
In-person events strengthen the workplace community by encouraging employee bonding.
They can foster team-building across all levels when these activities are incorporated into the schedule. When managers and leaders have the opportunity to interact with employees outside the workplace environment, connections happen on a more intimate and personal level. Learning about each other unites teams.
Bringing family members to events can improve work-life balance for your employees, too. Positive work-life balance has immeasurable benefits on company culture and the overall performance of your workforce. When family participates in events, employees feel valued and that the company understands the importance of life outside the workplace. Additionally, these types of gatherings provide an opportunity for family members to hear about the company’s goals and objectives.
Employee appreciation activities allow an organization to demonstrate loyalty to employees. Showing team members how much they are appreciated, and that their contributions make a difference to the company, can improve employee satisfaction. Research shows that satisfied employees stick around.
Events, especially ones that include training and time set aside for social activities, allow like-minded individuals to gather and share best practices. Being in an environment with other employees who are passionate about their jobs ignites excitement among team members and excited, energized employees perform better.
Focusing on company events really is an investment. APCO Insight and MMB surveyed 400 small business owners and found that that 96% said company events yield a positive ROI. Just like you invest in marketing and recruiting, you should also invest in company events to see numerous positive results.
