The holiday party is a tradition many companies enjoy providing their employees. It’s an opportunity to spend quality time with coworkers, and prepare to start the new year with hope for a better year. In addition to heralding corporate achievements, the holiday party provides a platform to recognize individual employees and teams for their contributions to the company. Truth is, according to research from Gallup, workers who receive regular recognition show increased productivity and engagement, and receive higher satisfaction scores from customers. So as your company party unfolds this year here are a few things to consider along with the normal good cheer!
• Recognize Goals that Have Been Achieved
• Establish Goals for the New Year
• Acknowledge Individual Employee Accomplishments
• Embrace the Quirky Side of Work
What’s more, many companies have used holiday parties as team building opportunities through games and other methods to inspire employee unity. But be forewarned, too much alcohol-fueled conversation can lead to regrettable situations that can be contrary to the company playbook! Nevertheless, it is the time of year to relax and enjoy and recognize others, and company parties will always remain a good place to accomplish that!
