4 Tips To Convince Your Boss It’s Time For An Office Party

As the middle of the year rolls around, the office Christmas party probably feels like a lifetime ago. No doubt everyone is feeling a little strained and needs a new boost of energy to push them to a productive second half of the year, which is why hosting an office party makes sense. But asking your boss to spend money on it is probably a little stressful in itself, so we have come up with four tips to help you convince your boss it’s time to take a break and take the team out.

1. Team Building Is Key To Success

As Helen Keller said “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”. The importance of teamwork has been growing in understanding in recent years, proving over and over again that teams that connect well together achieve more success than those that don’t. It’s a key part of company growth and Forbes even calls it one of the most important investments your business could make.

Team building helps to resolve any tension that might occur within the organisation, helps build trust between employees and increases communication clarity and teamwork. All attributes that an organisation, which wants to grow, should aim to have.

2. Happy Workers Are More Productive

During the time around the end of the financial year, your team might be under a little more stress than usual and when workers are stressed, studies have found they tend to be less productive. Stress, worry and boredom are all culprits of your team loosing their energy and being less efficient. Taking them out of the office for a day, to bond and enjoy some time off, will go a long way in raising your teams morale and in turn, leading them to be more productive to help your company grow!

3. Rewarding Them With More Than Just Bonuses

As we discussed in our article ‘Bonuses Aren’t The Only Way To Thank Your Team’, money may not be the best motivator to get your workers to do their best work, especially in the second part of the year. Finding other ways to thank them is vital as the gesture will go a much longer way than a pay cheque would. So get the team to appreciate the company a lot more by going out and having an office event for the day!

4. HR Benefits To The Business

Large companies like Google are famous for throwing their office parties and they attract some of the best talent to apply to them every day. Hiring the best people for your business is definitely a crucial step for growth but it is important to first explain to them why they should want to work for you.

This can be especially harder for smaller businesses, which is why promoting that you have amazing office events and activities is sure to work in your favour. Showing that you care about your employees, appreciate the importance of that much thought after ‘work-life’ balance and have a trusting, happy team environment will gain you access to some of the best talent in any field, leading to growth within your company.

Take these tips of ours and you’ll be able to convince your boss it really is time for another office event!
