As a manager do you ever find your staff regularly going out for fag breaks, watching the clock and spending more time social networking on Facebook than actually working? If this is the case then it is probable that you are not doing enough to raise moral and keep motivation high. Why not create an incentive, an event that will focus your staff to hit targets and meet goals… Why not throw a massive Christmas Party!!!
A Christmas Party is the perfect opportunity for the whole workforce to get together in a casual environment without the stress and tension of the office. It is an opportunity for people to get to know each other on a personal level and not just think; oh it’s boring John in accounts with his ear piece on. Although you may not realise it at the time, John may actually have a life and he probably thinks that you’re just the arrogant sales person you thought. After a few drinks these stereo types may easily be resolved and you will probably see each other in a whole different light.
Again as a manager it is important to reward employees for their hard work over the past year and you may be surprised by the effect that a Christmas party can have on the motivation of your staff. If it’s going to be done though it has got to be done properly. There is no point having your Christmas Party in the office as this will probably be more degrading than a standard Monday afternoon and will in most cases be seen as taking the mickey. It is therefore important to find a decent venue such as a bar in town, maybe Coventry, Leicester, Birmingham Broad street, a hotel or a Christmas Party venue, one that enables those that want to let their hair down and enjoy the festivites, those that want to dance to dance and those that want to sit back and mingle to sit back and mingle. The chosen venue should also be situated in a central location that will enable everyone to get to and from the party safely and easily. An ideal way to travel in a large group would be to hire a hummer, or hire a limo, Coventry Limo have the latest next generation hummers and limos that would turn any head, the 16 seater party bus with a COIF is just like a nightclub on wheels. You will for sure feel like a VIP and you will be in a Carsforstars.
If you wish to plan and organise the whole event from scratch, there are a number of ways of doing it. There are countless marquee hire companies around The Midlands and the UK which gives you the opportunity to set up your own venue. Most marquee companies also supply heating which is advisable considering the great British Winter’s. There are also furniture hire companies which can provide you with all the furniture and equipment you may need. These are easy to find, just type in to your search engine say table and chair hire Coventry or crockery hire Birmingham and it will come up with all the companies in that area. Then all that you need to do is find a caterer and you’re sorted.
Good luck
