Blog Post: Economy Wreaking Havoc on Holiday Party Plans?


posted Wednesday, December 3, 2008 12:40 AM

Rather than give up on holiday festivities all-together, consider a fun, interesting alternative that can drive bottom-line results catapulting your organization into the new year!

Some companies are doing exactly that by offering engaging workshops for employees and their guests on topics that affect them at work as well as in personal lives.  Examples…….Emotional Intelligence, Emergenetics, Myers Briggs, etc!

Employees are invited to bring their spouse/partner/friend-of-their choice to the interactive and high-energy event which works on developing core interpersonal skills which can be applied at the work site and at home. WIN*WIN

By going with this alterative plan, organizations send the message that they ARE willing to invest in their employees --- and they are able to bypass the more typical holiday events which regularly don’t show a return on investment.

For some companies this is a great solutions for their management team’s holiday function – for others organizations this works for all-employee events.
Now, more than ever, innovative solutions are necessary to take organizations to the next level.

Don’t give up on holiday festivities --- rethink and redesign them!
 

May all your endeavors be insightful,
