Planning on arranging a corporate event for your work team? Tired of lack of attendance and enthusiasm about these events?. Most employees think of these events as boring and unnecessary. Truth is, they should be fun and inspiring and help the staff build team spirit and interpersonal skills. When they are done right, they can be a great way to reinvigorate staff and improve relations between teams.

So, if you’re looking to plan a fun and memorable corporate event, the following tips can certainly help.

1. What you don’t need is another boring, mundane speaking activity. You should get your employees’ adrenaline pumping with an energized team activity. Events like a rally
day will have your co-workers out and about, learning new things, having fun, and most important, building strong team spirit. Have them participate in races, rock climbing activities, or various activities around the city. An escape room is a great way to get your team to create some bonding memories while working together. Bonding together will help them to realize that working together can be fun, and have them looking forward to returning to work.

2. Ever considered setting a world record? It is a tough job to do as an individual, but you can manage it with the help of your co-workers. A title from the Guinness World Records will energize your people, bring them together, and make them achieve a once-in-a-lifetime goal of breaking or setting a world record. Wouldn’t a World Record look great on your office’s Wall of Fame? Take a look at some the latest record to have been broken to help inspire you. At Escape Games PDX, we have our own way of breaking records, be the fastest to escape any of our rooms, and you’ll be added to our Hall of Fame leader-board. Or challenge your co-workers, see which team can escape the same room in the fastest time.

3. Nobody wants to participate in boring office activities. What you should do is spice things up a little with some challenges. Organize a real-life board game like chess or Monopoly or you could create a survival experience, in a safe and controlled environment, of course. Booking a room at Escape Games PDX is very much like living the experience of a board game. The room quickly becomes the game, as you and your coworkers take on the role of the players.  Your success in escaping is completely reliant upon your team working together to find clues to escape the room.

Corporate events should be more about building team spirit and rewarding employees. Make sure your activities are challenging as well as satisfying, so your people won’t feel like they’ve wasted a day. There are several exciting options you could choose from, so make sure your event is fun and memorable so everyone leaves with a smile on their face.
