Finding new event ideas might become a problem, especially when you work with the same group of people for five or more years. You can’t entertain them with the same things over and over – you always have to think of something even more creative. In this article, we will present you some ideas that you might not have thought about.
Impersonation challenges
This one is going to be super fun! You can choose between two options. Your colleagues could impersonate each other, or you can make the list of celebrities, in which case your colleagues pick a random one who they will mimic. Of course, every impersonation should be presented in front of the audience. Imitating each other might be more fun, but imitating famous people with costumes could also be great. Choose the option you like, create voting polls afterward, and secure some cool rewards for the winner.
Employee appreciation events
The best event for boosting the morale of your employees! You can organize such an event in different ways. One way is to make pairs within teams where one employee makes a speech about his or her colleague and vice versa. On the other hand, the second variation would mean that each member of a team makes a short speech about every colleague. In both cases, it is all about showing gratitude and appreciation. This kind of event could break the everyday routine and also show people that their work is highly admired by both supervisors and colleagues.
Motivational speaking
This type of event is also great for a morale boost. Every participant should write a real-life motivational story. It could be about their tough moments at the beginning of the professional career, daily struggles with their mental or physical health, or how they managed to boost their energy level. Stories could be various, but each person must show their way of battling these particular issues. However, there will also be a few people who don’t want to talk in front of an audience. Try to encourage them and make sure that they get massive applause when they finish their speech.
Eco-friendly campaign
Green campaigns are very beneficial, especially if your company also has similar products. With the best initiatives, such as planting trees, sustainable food items or recycled products, you can promote both your products and the eco-friendly policy of your business. Secure a huge display stand that attracts people because you want the best possible presentation. You want people to talk and write about your event since that’s the only way to make it memorable. The eco-friendly label of the event almost always guarantees a positive reaction.
Endurance races
People love competition, whether at work or outside of it. Making corporate events which include endurance races are essential for highly competitive employees. It doesn’t only involve running, even though it is the most popular activity. Swimming or cycling are also super fun, as well as dancing at business parties. Whichever option you choose, encourage all your employees to participate. Some of them will confirm their hunger for competition, which is usually in deep correlation with their work ethic.
Puzzles and mystery escape room
Solving puzzles within groups or arranging escape room competitions are both very creative ways for employee engagement. It is a mix of excitement, agitation and curiosity, where you can realize how some of your best employees are thinking and what solutions they find in certain situations. Besides that, they will all have a lot of fun, spending time with their colleagues outside of the everyday work routine.
Gaming events
Video games are super fun, and many people enjoy playing some of those games in their free time. Some companies even choose to buy PlayStations so their employees can use their breaks this way, inside of the company. Such events are also significant – ask your employees if they enjoy this type of fun, and which games they prefer. Based on those results, organize an event with the two or three most voted games. Also, if gaming is your business industry, these events are a must since you can invite other gamers to participate.
Events are great for breaking the everyday working routine and monotony. However, people will expect every new event to be even more creative. Therefore, implementing some of the ideas we mentioned could be the way to go for your next event.
