Holiday Parties and Corporate Team Building in NYC

The holiday season is a great time to let your employees know that their hard work and dedication is appreciated which is one reason so many companies host a holiday party.  These can range from something as simple as a potluck dinner to professional entertainment in a large venue.  If you’ve been charged with planning this year’s party, you have an opportunity to host an event that combines corporate team building in NYC with entertaining fun.

Teambuilding Benefits

So what’s wrong with a little simple entertainment?  Absolutely nothing.  The better question is how can combining corporate team building with entertainment enhance the experience?  Here are some benefits to consider.

• Increased employee participation.  People have tremendous demands on their time, especially during the holidays, and you don’t want your party to just be one more obligation.  A person is more likely to skip a passive activity such as a concert or banquet than a fun, competitive activity in which everyone is involved.
• Improved employee loyalty.  People love to compete in a fun, friendly atmosphere.  TrivWorks, a firm that offers experiential marketing and corporate team building in NYC specializes in combining teambuilding and entertainment.  Their sole focus is on producing customized trivia events.  They work with companies to create games which incorporate company culture, accomplishments and even insider jokes with traditional trivia topics.  This increases employee awareness of the unique value of the company without becoming a typical HR pep talk.
• Enhanced communication.  When people attend a play, concert or sporting event they usually do so with people from their existing circle of friends and acquaintances.  Planning your holiday party around a trivia event allows people from different departments to become acquainted while working together to compete for fun prizes and recognition.  The relationships and communication this fosters extends beyond the event and into the workplace.

Get More for the Money

The economic challenges of the past few years have forced many companies to tighten their budgets and funds for team building events have been severely reduced, yet the need for fun, unifying activities is as great as ever.  In many instances employees have been asked to take on more responsibility with limited pay increases, a situation which can increase stress and conflict within the workplace.  Your holiday party is a great opportunity to reward their hard work and build teamwork in a fun, relaxed atmosphere while also providing a teambuilding activity – all for the same price.

TrivWorks has hosted hundreds of successful trivia events since their founding in 2009 for group sizes ranging from 30 to 300.  Event planning can be difficult, especially for the employees tasked with party planning in addition to completing their regular tasks.  TrivWorks’ professional consultants remove the hassle from the planning while producing an affordable, professional holiday party.  Here is what they will do for you.
