Naturally, many parties and employee get-togethers take place in the fall and winter, due to the large number of holidays that take place during that time of year. Because of this, some employees experience a lull during the long summer months. A great way for a business owner or manager to keep employees motivated and bonded as a team during the summer is to take advantage of the warm weather and have an outdoor company party. This can also pose a great opportunity to present corporate awards or gifts, as these can be wonderful mid-year motivators. Take a look at these outdoor event ideas that are sure to be a hit among your team!
Golf Outings and Tournaments
Golf outings are a great option for company get-togethers because they give employees an opportunity to be active alongside each other. However, golf is not so physically active that some people will get intimidated or be unable to participate. While playing golf, laid-back co-workers can easily talk and hang out with one another, while the competitive individuals can have some fun of their own!
Boating
Of course, this summer event idea will typically only work if your company is located near the water. Whether it is a river, lake, or ocean, renting a boat for a few hours will always be a hit among your employees! There is something about being in the middle of the water that is so relaxing yet exciting. Practically speaking, having everyone close together on a boat also makes it really easy to make announcements, have an awards ceremony, or give a speech!
Baseball Games
Baseball is one of America’s favorite sports, and attending a baseball game is one of the simplest, yet thoroughly-enjoyed activities for any group of people. A baseball game makes it easy for co-workers to converse with one another. In fact, for newer employees who are just getting to know everyone, if they have trouble finding a subject to talk about, the baseball game going on before their eyes is an easy place to start!
One of the best aspects of these summer events is that each one makes for a great opportunity to present employees with recognition awards or gifts. Coupled with a fun and relaxing day, having a little awards ceremony increases employee motivation and inspiration to keep working hard!
