Idea Fair
Employee Social Gathering
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
Our Employee Social Gathering was designed to build stronger connections within our team by providing a fun and inclusive environment where everyone could bond and unwind. By offering a variety of activities like an Ice Cream Bar, Karaoke, Sip and Paint, and Pickleball, we catered to different interests and encouraged team members to connect on a deeper level. This event enhanced our club's operation by fostering collaboration, improving morale, and promoting a culture of inclusivity. It was a reminder that shared experiences, whether through friendly competition or creative expression, are key to building stronger, more cohesive teams.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
Weeks before the event, our Employee Experience Committee took planning seriously—gathering input from employees through polls to ensure the event would be truly enjoyable for everyone. They also worked hard to book vendors and curate an experience that would offer something for all interests. On the day of the event, we came in early to set up for a spectacular experience. The event was a huge success, with employees from all levels—new hires and long-standing members—actively participating and enjoying themselves. While members did not directly attend, they could see the excitement and engagement as they walked through the club. Many gazed with bright smiles, admiring the vibrant atmosphere and showing their appreciation for the team’s spirit. The event was a great success, leaving a lasting impression on both employees and members alike.
