Well, this is turning out to last longer than we thought. As things start to open up, restrictions are lifted and people receiving vaccines, the corporate parties should happen soon! We have given a list of ideas, ranging from not leaving your home to socially distanced fun for employees or clients.
Creative Challenges
One of ways we have stayed (somewhat) sane during all of this is really leaning into our creative side. This is a great way to have people let loose and show their hidden talents.
You could send out the challenge and have everyone submit their final product over Slack or Teams for discussion.
Another idea is a talent afternoon over zoom. Another great way to see employees in a new light.
Give the gift of skills
Gift everyone a month to Skillshare or Masterclass, that way they can learn something new on their own time and choose a skill or class that interests them specifically! Then you can all regroup and talk about what each employee has learned or made from the class.
Comedy “Night”
Hire a comedian to host a comedy hour during the day. It’ll be a great way to break up the day! You could even send out snack and/or alcoholic beverage packages so make it that much better.
Drive in Movie
Drive in movies theatres can be rented out! What a great way to comfortable get employees out of the house for some fun.
This option won’t be accessible for everyone due to distance or vehicle availability. For those people you can send a movie night package to their home so they can also enjoy.
Outdoor Activity
We believe this can be done in a safe, socially distanced way. Activities can be 6ft apart or staggered times, bathrooms will need to be sanitized after every visit and food can be served in individual containers.
We strongly believe in outdoor activity to help combat the pandemic blues.
Winter activities can include snowshoeing, skating, skiing, hiking, etc. In the summer you can offer yoga, guided painting, picnics, beer or wine tastings, hiking, horseback riding and a lot more.
What have you been doing to keep your employees engaged and happy? Let us know in the comments!
