You know the saying “An office that plays together, stays together.” Well, here to keep the fun rolling in your workplace are 12 carefully selected office party themes for every month of the year.
Allowing staff to have fun together can promote teamwork and serve as a bonding experience. Group activities improve communication between employees and even between executives and employees. Not to mention, fun breeds creativity and when your company is known as a fun one, it can help recruit new hires. The list of benefits goes on and on. So grab your calendar and start plotting some serious office fun!
January: Centering in the New Year
January can be a tricky time to host a party. Most people have indulged over the holiday season and may simply be tired of the festivities. However, it would be welcomed if employees were able to start the new year on a different note, with their employer catering to them. Bring in a caterer to set up a smoothie bar and Starbucks in the morning. Surprise them with a mid-morning guided meditation break. Announce that everyone must leave 2 hours early after a particularly stressful meeting. Catering to your employees will not only give folks a healthy start to the new year, but show your appreciation in advance of a great year ahead.
February: Winter Olympics
We can’t believe it’s been 4 years since we wrote about hosting an Olympics office party for Sochi. Don’t let the Olympians have all the winter fun! Go for the gold at the office with an Olympic office party theme this month. Have different departments choose a country and begin setting up an Office olympics extravaganza. Your tournament bracket could include everything from desktop bean bag toss to trash can basketball. Don’t forget the gold, silver and bronze medals: something your employees will treasure as bragging rights for years to come.
March: Naughty Leprechaun
St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th in 2018, but hold the green beer. This can be a wonderfully fun holiday with games, food and tricks. Queue the fiddle music and set up the greatest scavenger hunt your company’s campus has ever seen. A scavenger hunt is great to get office workers around the nooks and crannies of your workplace, and allow them to see how the other half lives (or works). Just be sure to include a pot of gold at the end!
