Does an employee Christmas party have to be limited to herring at the company desk? Definitely not! You can start planning holidays, which will be talked about in your company next year as well. Here's everything you need to know about what a successful Employee Christmas Party should look like

Corporate Christmas is a sign that you can start counting down the time until the end of the year. In some companies, they serve only to get home faster and gain one more free day. With you, the employee Christmas Eve can be an event that will be buzzing about in the company for the next year!

When and how to arrange a company Christmas?

The first problem is the date of the company holiday. It will be artificial too early, and just before Christmas everyone has their hands full and they don't want to add more work to themselves. To get out of this situation, you can organize company Santa Claus. Nobody is too busy around December 6, and Mikołajki is a good opportunity to quickly organize a meeting by the Christmas tree. On the other hand, an employee Christmas Eve on December 24 may be a solution, as long as employees do not have to stay longer at work.

Another interesting topic is the presence of religious symbols during Christmas. There is no rule here, because corporations often lack any references, while many smaller Polish companies put them in the foreground. It will be safest to assume that exaggeration in any direction is not advisable. Following the example of companies from the West, you can reach for cards and decorations on the occasion of "Winter Holidays".

Employee Christmas Eve at the company's headquarters

The most difficult is the need to provide a buffet on the occasion of corporate Christmas. Employee Christmas Eve, for which everyone has to bring a cake or other dish, quickly turns into another burdensome duty. On the other hand, ordering food in a restaurant is a lot of confusion and uncertainty whether the food will actually arrive. The Crown of the Karkonosze Manor offers this year catering festive. Traditional Christmas dishes can be ordered with delivery to the office in quantities suitable even for a large party. You can also order cakes, coffee or extras right away.

The second challenge is the Christmas tree. Can an employee Christmas Eve go without it? Or maybe it should, because some people no longer recognize a real Christmas tree? There are many interesting ideas for a Christmas tree that does not need to be cut down. Sometimes they can be created from items related in some way to the company's profile, e.g. coffee mugs or fabrics. If the office is large and high, you can, however, from time to time try a real Christmas tree, several meters high. If there are at least symbolic gifts for employees under it, they will certainly appreciate such a gesture.

Departure Employee Christmas Eve

Employee Christmas Eve can also take place outside the office. One of the possibilities is a corporate event in a restaurant. You can also choose a buffet in some picturesque place outside the city. Such a meeting can be combined with an interesting outing for employees, i.e. with sightseeing, learning how to make dumplings or baking Christmas cookies. Later, dumplings can hit the Christmas table, and cookies can become a gift for colleagues from the company.

Employee Christmas Eve can also look like in American movies. Employees then choose a theme, then dress up and party late into the night. The theme can be the 1920s, fairy tale characters or the world of birds. A photo booth will keep memories from corporate event for longer. On the other hand, a winter sleigh ride or other outdoor activity ended with a festive feast will put in a blissful mood even those who do not usually celebrate Christmas.

Employee Christmas Eve - various gift ideas

Christmas gifts - to give or not to give? There may be several ways to get out of this situation.

• So that the drawing of who will buy a gift for whom is not boring, you can choose a theme and determine that everyone will buy, for example, only a book or only a purple thing.
• If no one is enthusiastic about buying company gifts, the crew can choose a charity and donate money to it. Virtually adopting a dog or supporting a family will look particularly effective. Their photo may be displayed during Christmas.
• An alternative is corporate gifts. Here again there is a known problem - how to buy a lot of gifts at once and distribute them fairly, and at the same time not give anything trivial? The way out can be handmade things and local delicacies. If, for example, integration trip in a given year was held in Dwór Korona Karkonoszy, a nice gift will be beer, coffee or preserves made in the Dwór. Such thoughtful gifts seem more from the heart. Other ideas of this type are, for example, honey from the apiary on the roof of the office or beautiful notebooks for the next year.
