29 Aug Office Party Entertainment Ideas
HR leaders are focussed on employee engagement for good reason it appears.
Great Place to Work Institute conducted a study of 9.1m people that makes the connection between the top places to work and the amount of fun employees have.
Studies show that fun in the workplace can increase profits and employee camaraderie, lower absenteeism and reduce workplace conflict.
Themed office parties are becoming commonplace in Australian companies.
Department heads are being encouraged to take turns to create fun and interesting activities that bring colleagues and teams together. During the course of a working week, these teams may have limited connection with one another.
Recently our clients Atlassian and Lexi Nexis, engaged Mash Machine for after work office drinks to bring together team members in a unique and engaging way – by creating music together.
Everything went really well. I thought I knew who all the resident DJ’s would be but I was surprised about some! – Lexis Nexis
Mash Machine’s intuitive game play design makes creating music child’s play. Even for those who think they haven’t a musical bone in their body.
Atlassian, chose the option of the bluetooth headsets to contain the sound to the players. While Lexi Nexis opted for speakers so the players created the background music for the event.
