5. Host Your Party at an Orchard
There’s a lot you can do with an office during the holidays, but sometimes you gotta get out and switch up the pace. If you think your team needs a break from the fluorescent lights and luminous glow of computer monitors, take them out for some fresh fall air. Orchards are a great, low budget expense trip for small parties that let the team interact with each other in an environment that’s not the office. If you’re in a city, make your own orchard! Pick up some fresh apples from the market and disperse them around the office in burlap baskets. Host popular orchard games like pie eating contests, apple bobbing, and pumpkin carving!
Your options are limitless! The holiday season is a wonderful period to try something new. Giving your team a rocking party lets them know they’re valued and respected. When they feel they’re a part of strong-knit community, production is incentivized and people feel revitalized to come back to work because the place they work is a rewarding experience.
