What are the benefits of incorporating interactive games and entertainment into your company's events and work place?
Ensuring your employees have sufficient down time is becoming an ever-increasing issue with the drastic changes in technology over the last few decades. Where staff used to work 9 - 5, they are now connected to work emails and phone calls 24/7 with company mobile phones and laptops. This is putting increased pressure on employees and reducing the time they spend switched off from thoughts about work. This can impact your business in a variety of ways from increased employee absence and stress related issues to reduced productivity.
Ensuring the well-being and mental health of all employees is a relatively new concept. However, it was found in a recent Absence Management Survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) that the average employee takes 6.3 working days off each year due to sickness. This costs an astounding £522 per employee per year in lost hours, reduced output and other staff trying to compensate. A potential way of maintaining the well-being of your staff is by rewarding them with staff incentives such as team building days. Engagement with other members of staff enables connections to be built and can act as a stress relief, as well as allowing your staff the chance to get some fresh air in a different environment to their usual office.
When employees are happy and satisfied within their teams, a study found that they are 20% more productive. When multiplied up for all employees within a business, that's a lot more productiveness! Have you considered placing entertainment in your office over a lunch break? Why not hire our electric basketball hoops to let your staff take a decent break away from their desks and have fun getting competitive?
Have you heard of your employees not wanting to be sent to another boring sales conference where you end up sitting in the same room all day? When incorporating interactive games into the schedule, delegates get the chance to move about, helping to keep them stay alert and motivated to listen to each talk. Not only does it help to build new connections with those they interact with, it also inspires them to continue learning about their industry and those working within it.
Company training can be extremely useful, but if your employees are disengaged, they are unlikely to take away any benefits. If you think back to being at school, if the teacher incorporated games into a lesson, you paid far more attention than if you just had to complete a worksheet. It can work the same way with corporate training. Staff feel rewarded, pleased, surprised and a sense of accomplishment when they play games. So why not consider hiring our range of giant board games to place within your training, to get your staff more involved. When they are paying more attention to their learning, they will take more away, even if they aren't realising it, and this can improve both their own work, as well as those around them.
Hosting a staff event, whether in the form of an awards night, family fun day or team building day, can boost the morale of your employees and makes them feel valued. When employees feel like their company values them and their work, they are far more likely to want to stay in the business. This results in increased staff retention, which we all know is a good thing all round for consistency and productivity.
Ensuring the overall health, well-being and happiness of your employees doesn't have to be hugely expensive. You can host large award ceremonies to congratulate staff who are succeeding within the business and industry, but you can also hire corporate entertainment to capture your staff's imagination on a smaller scale. By placing an interactive game or photo booth within the canteen area at lunch time or by getting delegates at a conference moving on a break with a racing simulator or playing a childhood game, the benefits can be just as great! Rewarding staff with entertainment within the work place as well as at events, it can delivery significant benefits to your business, with you seeing a long term return on your investment.
