Validating your Employees
Having an award ceremony is a great way of showing your appreciation to staff,by rewarding performance or company culture and values. These awards will make an employee feel valued, important and like they are having an impact on the business. Which overall will do wonders for the productivity when they are back in the office.

Celebrating the success within a workplace builds the company culture, which in the long term will bring in improved talent!
Overall, everyone wants to feel appreciated for what they bring to the table, so don’t forget to celebrate this by hosting a celebration for your team.
Promotes Creativity within your Team
Taking your staff out of their usual environment can often help them think differently and foster collaboration to solve problems This is particularly the case during team building events but can also be done during the breakout sessions at conferences and long meetings. Collaborating with those outside their usual departments can also help individuals produce fresh new ideas and think outside the box. This is extremely helpful when they return to the office, as they may begin thinking in a new way to solve issues.
Having a company event will give your team the chance to step away from the daily drive for results allow their creative side to shine. Without the daily pressure you might discover the hidden creative potential of some of your team resulting in huge benefits to your business.
Boosting Company Morale
Celebrating successes has proven to be beneficial in creating happy and engaged employees who feel part of the organisation rather than a cog in the corporate machine.
Almost every job will have some level of stress with deadlines,targets and customer demands, but hosting a staff-based event will give everyone the chance to take a step back and relax with those they work so closely with. Having an event or celebration after a big project or a busy season will give your team that chance to recharge and improve the well-being for everyone involved.
When morale is high, teams are naturally more motivated and productivity goes through the roof. So, give your teams an event to motivate them to work hard and succeed then reward that with a celebration!
