Timothy James Consulting is one of the few employers in the recruitment industry to shut up shop over Christmas as a special thank-you to its staff. It also ensures everyone returns refreshed after the winter break and positive about starting a new year. The company also likes to throw an imaginative and inspiring Christmas party.
We find this creates better and stronger memories for our staff. This does not have to be expensive, but makes each employee feel valued. Employers may already be looking ahead to Christmas, but there are several factors to consider if they are planning rewards and incentives for employees, says Georgina Fuller.
It may seem like summer is not long gone, but annual Christmas party plans are probably already under way for many employers. And although some might think incentives are not just for Christmas, the festive period is, arguably, one of the most fruitful times for launching a reward scheme.
So it is a time to incentivise staff to drive sales and build goodwill. And it seems employers are getting more creative with their reward offerings. Cinema tickets, cooking classes with celebrity chefs and grow-your-own-Christmas-tree kits are just some of the rewards now on offer. The way employers are communicating and engaging with staff about their incentive schemes is also changing rapidly. Throughout the party, judges should go around and meet all the competitors and assign scores.
First, second, and third deserve a major award. First, separate into two teams. Next, set up some festive cups red plastic cups will do in a triangle shape on each end of a large table. Each team will take turns trying to throw a marshmallow into one of the cups.
If your team successfully throws it in, someone on the other team has to drink it, and you get to try to throw again. The one with cups left at the end wins the glory and avoids the cavities.
