Did you know yesterday was National Prosecco Day? 🥂 We did, and we didn’t need an excuse to celebrate it this weekend! 😀 While National Prosecco Day can be a fun and light-hearted celebration, holding a Summer Social with your team is also a good way to boost morale and show appreciation for your employee’s hard work. But there can be potential challenges or mishaps that could occur. Being prepared to address these issues can help ensure that the day remains enjoyable for all employees: Depending on the workplace culture, celebrating National Prosecco Day might inadvertently send the wrong message about priorities or values. It is important to ensure that the celebration aligns with the company's overall ethos. While the celebration is meant to be enjoyable, there is a possibility that some employees might overindulge. To prevent this, monitor consumption and encourage responsible drinking. Consider limiting the number of servings or having a designated pourer. Consider if this is an event where your customers, clients or suppliers might also be attending, and what message this could send to them if alcohol is having a negative effect on behaviour. If your Summer Social has unexpectedly taken a turn for the worse, we are here to help get you back on track! For help, guidance and advice through any Summer Socials get in touch with our team today! 😀🥂 #suttoncoldfield #outsourcedhr #Hrdeptnorthbham #summersocial #nationalproseccoday

**Did you know who came up with the idea of PICNIC first?** 🌺Well, I got to know the answer when one of my colleagues, in the last activity 'the Googly Round', asked this question during our departmental picnic. 🌺Yesterday, when I went for the picnic with my colleagues, I wasn’t expecting a day I wouldn’t forget easily. We played games, participated in various activities, ate together, and had so much fun. It was a feast I wouldn’t say no to ever. 🌺We got to meet people with whom we were only connected through emails. Putting faces to the email addresses was the highlight for me of that exceptionally invigorating event. 🌺To summarize the elysian day in a passage is a bit difficult. All in all, each and every corner of the venue reverberated with our laughter and the rhythm of our footsteps. 🌺A picnic is a successful way to bring people together. But it’s not the only way. In this learning bite, let’s discuss what other ways we can bring camaraderie to the workplace. 🌺P.S. The answer to the question is that the mention can be found in a 1649 satirical French poem, which features the Frères Pique-nicques, known for visiting friends “armed with bottles and dishes.” Later in the early 1800s, the term and the practice made a hop to Britain.

As we gather to toast the festive season, ensure your company Christmas party🎄isn't just about merriment - rather it's a golden opportunity to recognize and appreciate your extraordinary team members genuinely. 🌟 This year, we're encouraging clients to embrace the simple joys. No need for extravagant gestures; it's all about authentic, heartfelt appreciation and lots of fun. Our focus? Awards that genuinely mean something, crafted to celebrate the unique contributions of each team member. 🎁 🤝 And here's something special: we're incorporating the 'Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.' A little insight: 1. Words of Affirmation: A simple 'thank you' or a public shout-out can do wonders. 2. Quality Time: Giving undivided attention, maybe through a one-on-one lunch or a coffee chat. 3. Acts of Service: Lending a helping hand when it's needed the most. Make sure to ask first, before helping! 4. Tangible Gifts: Thoughtful presents that show you pay attention to their likes. 5. Physical Touch: A high-five or a pat on the back (keeping it professional, of course!). Your party is set to be a memorable one where everyone feels valued and celebrated. Here's to a fantastic event that strengthens your team bond and sets the tone for an incredible year ahead! 🥂 #CompanyCulture #EmployeeAppreciation #ChristmasParty #WorkplaceWellness #TeamBuilding #EmployeeRecognition #EmployeeRelations

As we enter the festive season, it's a wonderful time to celebrate and create lasting memories with colleagues. 🎉 Festivals bring a sense of joy and togetherness, making it an ideal opportunity to plan corporate offsites and strengthen bonds within the team. 🎊 Organizing corporate offsites during this time allows colleagues to step away from their usual work environment and engage in activities that promote teamwork, collaboration, and camaraderie. It provides a chance to unwind, have fun, and build stronger relationships outside of the office setting. 🏞️🤝 These offsites can be designed to include team-building exercises, interactive games, and group activities that encourage communication and cooperation. They can also incorporate elements of the festive season, such as themed decorations, traditional games, corporate gifting, or even participating in community service initiatives to spread the joy of giving. 🎁🎈 By planning corporate offsites during festivals, companies can foster a positive work culture, boost employee morale, and create a sense of belonging within the team. It allows colleagues to connect on a personal level, strengthening trust and understanding, which can have a positive impact on overall productivity and teamwork. 🌟💼 So, hop onto the wagon and seize the opportunity to plan corporate offsites during this festive season. Embrace the spirit of celebration, create memorable experiences, and foster a sense of unity among colleagues. 🎆👥 #FestiveSeason #TeamBuilding #CorporateOffsites #HolidayCelebration #JoyAndTogetherness #PositiveWorkCulture #EmployeeMorale #TeamUnity #CreateMemories #WorkplaceBonding #FestivalFun #ProductivityBoost #CelebrationSpirit #CommunityService #CorporateGifting #Teamwork

THIS™ are my favourite food brand and THIS is why... 1. Their marketing has always got me laughing and grabbing my attention. 2. Their products are unbeatable in the plant-based food industry - I've always loved their products! 3. Their company culture has always been one of the most important values to them and they absolutely nail showing they care for the wellbeing of their staff! I worked with THIS in 2020 during lockdown when we were all stuck indoors, and they were one of the first big companies that I ever worked with. I remember thinking, "Oh my god, I've seen this company in the shops! And they want a workshop with me!! 😮 " The first #workshop with them was honestly, one of my highlights to date. Everyone got involved, we all laughed hard, and everyone drew some amazing pictures of our life model. In a dark time for the world, it was workshops like this that made me realise how important my job was. Fast forward 3 years and last night I hosted a super fun festive watercolour class for them again, but this time, IN PERSON! Not only has the team grown by about 75%, but their office is as fun as the characters that work there and the artistic talent is unreal. Thanks for supporting ArtistAnd THIS. Can't wait to work with you again team. Keep up the good work :). #teambuilding #teamactivity #wellbeing #dreamteam
