Tips for Corporate Events Planning

Monday, June 14th, 2010

If you are responsible for your company corporate events then you’ll want to ensure that they maximise their potential. With so many businesses competing to win contract,you need to ensure that your corporate business events stand out from the crowd and get a good attendance.

Firstly you need to get some great corporate events ideas, research carefully what your competitors are hosting as their corporate entertainment and if you can, discreetly find out how the event went. Perhaps you ave a friendly relationship with someone that attended that night and can ask them, what they did and if many people turned up on the night or day. This way you can get a feel for what corporate event entertainment may work well for your company.

Company’s have often found that offering potentially lucrative clients the chance to attend a team building event has worked well. Your company hosts team building games exclusively for the client, allowing you access to a large amount of their team over an extended period. This has been extremely effective especially as this can be hosted in the daytime away from the temptation of alcohol, allowing you to subtly get your message across and build excellent rapport.

We have a wide range of team building ideas and corporate entertainment ideas, so if you are think about corporate events planning then please give our team a call today as we can help you maximise your investment.

You need to ensure that despite the climate, your team put their hearts and souls into their job, each and every person is crucial to your companies success, fun team building activities help you to boost morale and focus for the year ahead.

If you are thinking about hosting a team activity, you may want to break away from traditional and perhaps more dull tasks such as group hugs and raft building, try something fun instead! If your team are having fun, then they will be building harmony and opening the channels of communication. You may look at an individual team building event and ask how this is going to help productivity as the task has no relevance to your business but it’s the people we are building, the human skills that are needed for success.

If you would like more information, then give us a call at Accolade Corporate Events, we love giving you examples of how we can help your business.

Altogether Now For Team Building

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

A New TV series on Virgin 1 features employees of an office taking part in a team building exercise that involves them working without clothes on. The new series is meant to convey the merits of what is presumably the ultimate in team building techniques. It has not been received with enthusiasm by US or British newspapers. Apart from highlighting the dangers of leaving the shredder on, many would say it does little for team building, being simply voyeuristic.
