Workplace Christmas Party Idea
An office christmas party held at the workplace requires a different model of event planning compared to an office christmas party held outside the office. In addition to that, considerations need to be given, as to whether, the event is a one off work christmas party that is for couple of hours for the whole company or whether it is for multiple small teams to have their own party in a day or over couple of days / weeks etc.
Workplace Christmas parties at times are held during work hours with multiple activities to celebrate christmas and end of year celebrations. This is done to provide an opportunity for everyone to participate and not add burden on staff to come for a christmas party activity outside work hours. It is even more harder to get people into office after COVID and especially after working hours.
This article will not go into details and merits of it but we will provide some amazing ideas for you to execute based on your choice.
Work Christmas Party
This is normally held over a couple of hours at the company or at a hired venue. Mostly this party includes food, drinks and music entertainment held in the evenings. However, organisations can make this event super exciting by establishing Virtual Reality Entertainment Hub for the party. This doesnt not need to be exclusive with virtual reality entertainment only it can be mixed with other activities. ApsisVR can suggest some ideas.
A virtual reality entertainment hub (Apsis VR Hub) can be setup with at your venue or another venue where you are hosting the party. At this venue, people will wear VR headsets and they can experience a holiday, travel, dive into the deep ocean, play shooting games, play sports and even dance to music wearing haptic vests.
Work Christmas Event
Some organisations tend to leverage the entire christmas period and end of year to infuse positive energy into the organisation with a highly engaging activity driven xmas or end of year celebration event, This is done to provide staff and teams the flexibility to attend based on times and availability. With this type of event, the company can create competition and team building activities as part of their christmas or end of year celebrations, It also provides teams the flexibility to self organise themselves around the company theme.
There are some innovative team building activities that can be created at office which will also encourage more people to come to office during this period.
Virtual Reality Entertainment Hub
