So you are hosting a company picnic…*

Kudos! Picnics are a classic choice.

*Note: If you are not hosting a picnic, not only is our clever lead incorrect, but we also think you should reconsider.

Why? Because we love when companies host company picnics. Oh, that’s not enough reason? Okay, here are some cold hard facts:

Why company picnics are great:

• Employees can bring family members – fun for all ages!

• Excellent for teambuilding

• Great morale builder

• Strengthens company’s culture

• Keeps workers refreshed and engaged

• Allows owners/bosses to show appreciation for employees

• They’re fun

• Well, because who doesn’t love food & games?

Because it’s just who we are, we want to help you make this year’s event even more engagement-tastic. (Yes, we just made up a word.)

So, let’s talk plans, shall we?

Tips For Planning Your Company Picnic:

• Think about your company when planning. What is its personality or “culture”? What are your values? What picnic activities would capture these values?

• Have your leadership team express enthusiasm for the event in advance.

• Plan ahead! A well thought out and thoroughly executed picnic can really show your employees how much you appreciate them. But a poorly run or negatively received event can have the opposite effect.
