The Importance of Social Events at Work

Career and Employment October 17, 2018 by Nishitha

Want to reduce screen time? Let me read it for you :)

Every workplace has a responsibility to keep their employees happy, not least because they spend so much of their time at work. Offering a competitive salary, a good benefits package, and career progression are all good places to start, but there are also numerous other methods a company can put in place to add a little extra excitement to each employee’s job.

One such method is organizing social events at certain times of the year. This could range from throwing an office party to hiring event tents complete with music, food, and potentially a dancefloor.

Here are some of the reasons social events are so important at work.

Staff Morale

One of the main ways social events can impact the workforce is by boosting staff morale. Having a party or day out to look forward to lets them know that their hard work is paying off and that they are part of a company that truly cares about them and wants to reward their endeavours.

Not only this, but it also gives them a chance to relax at work with their colleagues and bond with them, ultimately fostering better relationships between them. Bringing staff members closer together will bring benefits to their day to day work life, and encourage more friendships to be made.

Networking

Leading on from this, social events also give staff members the ability to network with each other and make new connections. Departments that may not normally communicate will have a chance to converse and learn more about each other’s roles within the company in a relaxed, social environment.

This should lead to better team cohesion and the opportunity to bring different departments closer together. Not only this, but employees should also get the chance to see the company leaders in a different light, which should help to break down any barriers between them.

Company Culture

Staff events play a huge part in setting up a company culture, which is incredibly important in determining overall employee happiness. They ultimately promote the company as a homely, fun organization that is not solely focused on profits and productivity.

Now more than ever, employers want their workforce to feel like a family (or as a group of friends) as opposed to merely colleagues, as this helps to foster a love for the job as well as making the workplace more lively and energetic for everyone.

Social events have become a staple of the modern workplace, and many companies now put them on at regular intervals throughout the year. As such, they should be high on the list of priorities for any employer/company leader, as they bring numerous benefits to both staff and the company alike.
