• Find a unique venue. Choose a location that most employees have not been to before. This will bring out the natural curiosity in employees. If family members are included, make sure that there is space for children to run around.
• Using products with the organisation logo can create a team atmosphere. Fleeces, t-shirts, hats, badges, balloons and other products can give a visible team feel to the event.
• Have an entertaining awards ceremony. Traditional awards like pens, clocks, crystal products can be used for long service awards. Modern and technical products can work to excite the younger employees. A recent unique product is the Fisher Space Pen developed by NASA and can write underwater as well as upside down.
• Each person should leave with something. A bag or rucksack with the organization logo is a good take away that can hold any handouts, annual reports or mementos from the event.
• Take lots of pictures of the people at the event! People love to see pictures of themselves from events. These can printed and posted on a bulletin board or on an intranet website for people to view after the event.
