I had somebody tell me that their company has several small social events every month or so, but that they have a company-wide ski trip and beach trip once a year. Apparently, things close down for Thursday and Friday and then their trip is Thursday-Sunday. I thought this was so cool, but my company doesn't provide social events often. I would love for this to change, so I am going to propose some ideas. What are some fun social things that your company has for employees?

My question as well. Haha. Our company is so boring and we also need to unwind and relax.

GP does an annual customer service event that is usually pretty fun. We’ve done the GA aquarium, and most recently the battery in Atlanta. Free food and drinks and usually some kind of award ceremony and some sort of activity. We work mostly remote so it’s nice seeing all our coworkers face to face to hang out :)

Ohh! This is actually a great idea. I assume most of you joined the event?

I think company social events are so important for keeping people motivated in their jobs! Our company took us on a fishing charter once and another time we went mountain biking at a downhill ski resort (that obviously offers summer operations). We still talk about those trips!

What company? Our folks took us to the kitchen in our office for pizza 😲

I never experienced any outside of work activities since I joined our company. We have this simple and boring Christmas party during the holidays and that's all. Our company is so focused about profit and revenue that they forgot they have employees that work hard behind every success they had.

Organize a game night where employees can play board games, card games, video games, or even organize a tournament for a popular game like foosball or ping pong. Game nights are the best if you ask me.

Host a happy hour or after-work mixer where employees can unwind and socialize over drinks and snacks. Nothing beats a cold one to talk about mundane things with friends.

Remember to consider your company culture and the interests of your employees when planning social events. By providing engaging and fun activities, you can boost morale and encourage team bonding. Organize a yoga class, hiking trip, or fitness challenge for employees who are interested in staying active and healthy.

Bowling sounds fun. Sadly, our company is not a fan of social events. I'm so disappointed.

Pizza party or employees' day. Most of us enjoy these events and even look forward to the next one.

Why?

Nothing! Everything's extremely boring. Haha.
