The staff needs to enjoy the party. Employees need to feel appreciated. That is the goal, after all, of having an awards night, or company holiday party.
This year, in the tight economy, clients are very concerned about their annual holiday party. “Should we even have a party?” They ask? “Should we even hire professional entertainment?” Management is concerned not just about budget but also on the message it sends to the staff. “Doesn’t this send a mixed message to the employees about the severity of the economic crisis?”
Well, clearly these are important questions but the answer is; Now, more than ever it is important to keep company morale high. Now more than ever it is important to nurture your human resource capital. Now more than ever it is important to remind your team they are appreciated and that the work they perform is valued, and meaningful. If a company party can accomplish this task then certainly this is a very cost effective way to do it!
Think of the cost of the party in terms of venue rental, food and beverage service and entertainment / decorations/ awards/ party favors. Now break down that cost per person coming to the event. It doesn’t take a “mathemagician” to see how a good company party is very affordable – especially factoring in the increased production and performance you can expect following such an event . Build a better team made up of excited, happy employees who know they are cared about.
So, what makes a great party? It is so important to choose the right venue, the right menu, and the right entertainment for your party in order to achieve the results above. I will offer my opinions on what makes a venue work and great menu options in the next article. (A list of terrific venues in California can be found at Sharpo.com/Venues.html)
Please visit our site and bookmark Sharpo, Inc. we really appreciate the opportunity to bid on the entertainment contract for your event.
