How Can Company Outings Help Keep Employees Motivated? - TORQ03

1. It has never been more acute throughout the history of mankind – the amount of stress that we see around today. Life is getting really intense. Working hours have increased, working targets are become weighty, competition is become tougher; and all of this is bringing in a lot of stress, both physical and mental. In such a fast-paced business environment that we are living in, our workplaces call for optimal levels of productivity within strict deadlines, with regular duties to be done every single day. Executing all of this in a timely manner requires physical efforts, and the brain to work at lightning speeds. Using up all the physical and mental energy through the week requires a weekend of relaxation and chilling out. However, there are times when a weekend break is just not enough. Then, your employees may take a break and go on a small vacation. But, not all of them can do that, can they? This is

2. when it becomes your responsibility, as a leader or business owner, to arrange for some relaxation time for your employees. A company outing What we speak about here is a company outing. You need to arrange for a day of fun for your employees, where you take all of them along, somewhere new, somewhere fresh, where they can have a great time. You can take them for a mini vacation to somewhere far, for a stay of more-than-one-day; or you could arrange for a one-day- picnic. And, when you do so, make sure you do it not on a weekend, but a weekday. If you take them out on a weekend, it won't add up to as much excitement, as it would be if you tell them that you are spending one working day to leave back work, and only have fun! Why a company outing? As we have already said above, you need to take your team to an outing to have their minds refreshed with a break from work for a day or two. But, there are other benefits too that you can avail by taking your employees for an outing, some of them being – Recharging of the body and mind– Just like cellphones, human beings too need a recharge when their batteries are low. Making low batteries work within your organization will let you complete your tasks for sure, but it won't boost up creative or productivity levels. Your staff will work for you, but will be least interested in doing something extra for your profits if they are too tired or stressed out. But, when you take them out for a picnic or night stay, they will be refreshed, both with body and mind, while will hype their positive energy and motivation. This will in turn boost up their creativity and productivity levels in the workplace.

3. Building team bonding– The sole purpose of a team outing is not to help your employees relax. There is another hidden goal of a company outing, and that is, to help your employees spend quality time together, learn more about each other, and bond better. When team members are taken out together out of office, with no work pressure on their minds, they engage with each other more personally, thus strengthening their bonds. And, these new bonded relationships only help in boosting productivity at the workplace! In fact, company outings also provide the advantage of people from various segments and levels to come together on a single platform and chat with one another, with no limitations about being superior or inferior to the other in terms of working levels. Where to take your staff? Lunches, dinners, dance parties, and movies are all very regular and basic kinds of company outings. But, you don’t need to do all of that. You can instead think of something different, something more exciting. The main point of a company outing is that all your employees enjoy and pick up some valuable benefits to their working performance. And, to help your employees enjoy, you can take them to a gaming zone, where they can have a day of endless fun with the games of their choice. Games can help physical activity along with mental power strengthening; thus a win-win situation.
