Organize a New Year’s Eve party for yout company

End-of-year parties are, on the one hand, a way to take stock, to celebrate achievements and, on the other hand, to motivate employees. Most companies hold them a few weeks before Christmas and choose locations in a very different environment from the work environment.

If you have not yet done this activity with your employees, we recommend you try it, it is a perfect time to gather them in a neutral environment and thank them for the year of work with a different party that will make their motivation and involvement in the company much higher.

Ideas for corporate events at the end of the year

  • Cocktail

An informal option, after office type, that even if the facilities of your company allow it, you can develop it there making it more corporate. In case your facilities do not allow it, a nearby bar is perfect.

  • A day in the countryside

This is a daytime and more informal alternative, also the one that involves spending more time together.

Look for a country setting, on the outskirts of the city with ample space to enjoy and disconnect from the routine. The event will revolve around a lunch, opt for food trucks that allow freedom of movement or a large imperial table that does not restrict anyone where to sit.

  • Dinner and dancing

A more conventional option usually chosen by more traditional companies.

The most common is a banquet-style dinner with round tables and two-course dinner. They usually choose places that offer this type of dinner with dancing afterwards or the alternative is the restaurant on one side and drinks and dancing on the other.
