“When the party is designed to be a thank- you to staff, it’s good to actually say that”
of timings as this will form the basis of an itinerary. Make sure you allow guests plenty of time to leave work and get ready, build in time for late arrivals and plan plenty of time for food to be served. Te itinerary will help you
stay organised and make sure everything stays on track. It should contain the contact details of everyone involved and have a complete breakdown of the event including headings such as ‘When’, ‘Who’, ‘What’ and ‘Where’. Send a copy to every colleague involved in running the event.
A LITTLE EXTRA
Sometimes litle extras can make all the
difference. To make the event memorable for all the right reasons, you could, for example, hire a photographer. Many people will snap away on their mobile but hiring a professional will give you much beter quality pictures and visual reminders of
the event. Good shots can also be used on the company blog, website and social media, in marketing materials and put up round the office. Another alternative is goody
bags to hand out. Remember to fill them with popular treats people will actually enjoy, such as chocolates and wine. It’s wise not to stuff them with company products or collateral. Aſter it’s all over, remember
to ask for feedback. Finding out what people liked and disliked will help you organise an even beter event next year. Above all, remember that
these events present a great opportunity for people to get to know each other. Richard noted: “Even if yours is a small business it’s good to get away from work and learn more about your colleagues and their life in a friendly and informal way. Tat has many benefits, including helping to improve the team dynamics back in the office.”
