8 Reasons year-end functions are important

Year-end functions are essential for staff morale.

This is why:

• 1. Office parties are the perfect opportunity for a company to show its staff members how much they are appreciated.

• 2. A staff function is a form of team-building, giving employers and employees a chance to get to know each other outside the work setting and have a bit of fun.

• 3. It is a great time for staff to discuss ideas, give feedback or make suggestions in an environment that is less intimidating than the office.

• 4. Year-end functions are the perfect time to make a big fuss of exceptionally performing individuals or long term staff members.

• 5. Many staff members will regard the food, drinks, trinkets and even decor as a form of reward for a year’s hard work.

• 6. It takes place at a time when most of the company’s employees are tired, fed up and desperately in need of a break. Just a few hours away from the office will make everyone feel a bit better.

• 7. It is a good time to reaffirm what the benefits of working with your company are. This can take the form of a speech, presentation or even corporate branding.

• 8. Celebrate your achievements! Use the opportunity to share your company’s accomplishments, results, sales figures, special projects or client video testimonials.
