Staff Party Entertainment

It’s important to let your staff members know that all the hard work they put into the company is valued – and what better way to do that than to hold a staff party? Staff parties are the perfect way for employees to relieve the stress of the daily grind and come together to celebrate anything from closing a big deal to a fellow employee’s birthday. Hosting a staff party can be a little bit more difficult than putting together something for friends and family, however. Not everyone is going to have a close relationship within the workplace, and you need to make sure your event retains at least an air of professionalism: everyone needs to be able to make it into work the next day, as well as look each other in the eye.

The way to ensure a successful staff party is all in the planning. Staff parties differ from private parties in the fact that you can’t just organise something and tell everyone to show up. You need to get everyone’s input, opinion, and availability before finalising your staff party details. If your party is based around congratulating your staff or celebrating a birthday, the most important thing to ensure is that everyone in attendance has fun.

When it comes to planning a staff party, entertainment can be the trickiest thing to put together. There are a seemingly endless amount of entertainment options available, some better than others. Keep your staff in mind when you’re picking the entertainment for your staff party – if you’re planning something interactive like a comedy hypnotist or murder mystery night, be aware that some guests probably won’t want to join in. Your best bet is to hire a mixture of entertainment. Keep any interactive entertainment optional and hire something that people can just kick back and watch, but still be entertained by, like a live band or motivational speaker.

If you want to do something really special for your staff party, consider hiring a Positive Party – it’s a great way to get even the curmudgeonliest of colleagues motivated and excited about the party and life in general. Positive Parties are designed to get people thinking positively and dynamically about their personal and professional lives - everyone will be skipping into work on Monday morning!
