There are so many benefits to recognizing employees for their fantastic work. And hosting an Office Awards Night is a fun, engaging way to do it!
An awards night help to build team members' morale and the overall positivity in your workplace. You may even find it can enhance teamwork, productivity, and brand loyalty. Again, office awards night are always fun, and it doesn't have to be expensive.
If you're confused about organizing a hybrid office awards night, the creative team at Confetti can help. Generally, you can start by creating categories that employees can nominate and vote for their choice awardees. Here are a few superlative ideas:
You can work with your team to come up with fun reward ideas, like gift cards or other Goodies!
A talent show is one of the best ways to connect your distributed workforce!
Hosting a talent show helps everyone see different sides of their team members that they may not know! The CS superstar? Maybe she’s an undercover pop diva. The marketing wizard? Maybe they’re secretly Picasso. You’ll never know unless you give them a chance to show off those hidden skills!
If you've decided to organize a hybrid talent show for your office buddies, this is a comprehensive checklist to tick:
Movie nights are a fun, low stakes way for your hybrid team to connect! Your team can put their heads together to come up with a film on everyone’s “To Watch” list. Although this event doesn’t focus on boosting soft skills, it’ll still give the team a shared experience, which is just as important for your company culture!
You can make it a complete movie theater experience by providing snacks for remote and in-person employees!
Did you know a book club could be key to driving employee engagement?
Book clubs offer team members and executives the opportunity to come together to discuss literature that interest them. This could be a curated, work-related nonfiction list to focus on skills and topics important to your team. OR it could simply be for fun fiction!
When you discuss your readings together, it helps build listening/communication skills in members. And when it comes to enhancing creativity and innovation, few activities stimulate the mind like book clubs!
To ensure that your book club is interesting, select books around participants' interests!
Scavenger hunts are a tried & true classic — and you can easily turn your scavenger hunts into hybrid events!
We recommend turning this into a long-term hunt. Each quarter, start out with a list of things your team should try to find. For example, a funny e-mail typo or a meme from your fun Slack channels. The teams that complete their list by the end of the quarter receive a prize!
You can also incorporate scavenger hunts into other team building activities. For example, you can have a scavenger hunt list for your book club and have colleagues find words or quotes they find inspirational.
Have you got some members of your team working remotely while others work in the home office? Then, hybrid team-building activities should be a crucial part of your employee engagement strategy.
If you're confused about how to go about it, our creative team at Confetti will leave you in awe. We've got the best ideas for fun and productive team-building activities. Book directly on our website or send us an e-mail at [email protected].
Different companies may adopt different definitions, but generally, a hybrid work model is a flexible working environment that accommodates remote employees, in-office workers, and even folks who prefer to split their time!
They combine elements of physical and virtual team building to create an event that everyone will love. In a hybrid team building event, some participants gather in a room while others join them via video conference.
They’re the perfect way to connect your distributed workforce! Trust us when we say hybrid team bonding activities are just as exciting as virtual or physical team meetings; no one will miss out on any part of the fun. 💯
Running a hybrid event seems complicated when some members of the squad work from home and others from the office. Fortunately, with Confetti, running a hybrid event has never been easier. See how Confetti helped Goodway Group plan a successful hybrid event for their all-company summit.
