Being an ally is a daily practice of using your privilege to uplift and advocate for marginalized colleagues.

This can look like amplifying underrepresented voices in meetings, calling out microaggressions, or supporting ERGs (even if you don't identify with that particular group).

True allyship requires humility, listening, and a willingness to learn and grow.

When you host cultural celebrations in your organization, you open the door to more conversation, more partnership, and more inclusiveness.

If celebrating different cultures and creating inclusive events isn’t something you’ve intentionally done in the past, I encourage you to put some thought into it and plan something in the coming months!

(And, of course, we’re here to help!)

Did you know that companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians?

Diversity isn't just a feel-good initiative - it's a strategic advantage in today's global economy.

By creating a workplace where employees of all backgrounds can thrive, you tap into a wider range of perspectives, experiences, and talents.

How are you leveraging diversity to drive innovation and success in your organization?

(Hint: Cultural celebrations are not just a way to honor employees of certain cultures. It’s also a way to bring awareness and make connections across all cultures.)

23/07/2024

When was the last time your company celebrated the diverse backgrounds of your employees?

Cultural events aren't just a fun perk - they're a powerful tool for building an inclusive workplace culture.

By honoring the traditions and experiences of your team members, you send a clear message that diversity is valued and respected.

What's one way you could showcase the rich cultural tapestry of your organization?

Employee events are only successful if people actually participate. Helping to plan and actually showing up and engaging in the event.

But you don’t want to mandate participation. Instead, find creative ways to help boost engagement. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

1. Involve employees in the planning process
2. Choose activities that appeal to a wide range of interests
3. Incorporate friendly competition or team-building challenges
4. Offer enticing incentives, like raffle prizes or special recognition
5. Create opportunities for socializing and networking

How do you encourage your team to get involved in company events?

15/07/2024

Choosing the right venue can make or break your employee event.

From size and layout to ambiance and amenities, there's a lot to consider.

Unique venues can be appealing, but may come with challenges.

My advice?

Focus on finding a space that aligns with your goals and theme, and don't be afraid to get creative with the format to make it work.

For example, an aquarium might not be the best choice for a black tie dinner. And a hotel conference room might not give you the family-friendly vibe you’re looking for.

But with the right support, there might be workarounds to help you throw a dream event…no matter where you’re hosting it.

What's the most memorable venue you've ever been to for a work event?

13/07/2024

The first step in planning any event is to define your goals. What do you want to achieve?

Before diving into logistics, take time to clarify your objectives:

1. Identify your primary purpose
2. Consider your company culture
3. Determine how you'll measure success
4. Involve key stakeholders
5. Communicate goals clearly

A solid foundation sets the stage for a meaningful event.

The job market is competitive, making it more important than ever to prioritize employee connection and appreciation on a regular basis. After all, it costs less to KEEP employees than it does to recruit and train new ones.

And studies show that companies with highly engaged employees outperform their competitors by 147%.

Investing in thoughtfully planned events can pay dividends in terms of morale, retention, and overall success.

What's one way you show your team you value them?

09/07/2024

Employee events can be a powerful tool for boosting morale, fostering connection, and celebrating your team's hard work.

But how do you create an experience that truly resonates?

As a professional event planner, I've learned that the key is to start with clear goals and build from there.

Whether you're aiming to appreciate, educate, or simply have fun, every decision should ladder up to your objectives.

What's your top priority for your next employee event?

Meaningful work is a key driver of employee satisfaction and retention, yet it's often overlooked in the day-to-day hustle of business.

When your team understands how their individual contributions fit into the bigger picture and make a real impact, they feel a sense of purpose and pride in their work. This, in turn, leads to higher levels of engagement, motivation, and loyalty.

As a leader, it's your responsibility to communicate the significance of your employees' efforts and show them how they are making a difference.

Take the time to explain (or show!) the "why" behind their tasks, share success stories, and highlight the positive outcomes of their work.

By providing context and meaning, you can spark a newfound sense of enthusiasm and dedication among your team.

Remember, a little bit of context can go a long way in inspiring your employees to give their best and stay committed to your organization's mission.

Milestones and achievements deserve to be celebrated! Whether it's a work anniversary, a successful project completion, or a personal accomplishment, taking the time to recognize these moments can have a profound impact on your employees' satisfaction and motivation.

When you celebrate your team's successes, you show them that their hard work doesn't go unnoticed.

You create a culture of positivity and appreciation that extends beyond the walls of your office.

And that means employees who bring the best with them to work every day.

So, make it a habit to acknowledge and celebrate your employees' milestones, big and small. How? Host a team lunch, send a heartfelt email, or give a shout-out during a company meeting.

These gestures may seem simple, but they can make a world of difference in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and appreciated.

Have you ever experienced the power of recognition firsthand in your career?

We all know how it feels to have our hard work and dedication acknowledged by our colleagues and superiors.

It's that extra boost of motivation that keeps us going, even on the toughest days. When we feel appreciated, we're more likely to go above and beyond, take on new challenges, and contribute our best ideas.

I want to hear from you!

Share your personal stories of how recognition has made a difference in your professional life. How did it impact your motivation, loyalty, and overall job satisfaction?

Let's inspire each other to create more appreciative and supportive workplaces, one story at a time.

27/06/2024

Employee recognition is a powerful tool for boosting job satisfaction and reducing turnover. And if your organization is seeing a lot of team turnover, it’s time to find out why.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), a remarkable 63% of employees who feel recognized are very unlikely to look for a new job.

This statistic speaks volumes about the impact of appreciation on employee loyalty and retention. When your team feels valued and acknowledged for their hard work, they are more likely to stay engaged, motivated, and committed to their roles.

So, if you want to build a stable, thriving workplace, start by making employee recognition a top priority. Take a moment today to express gratitude to your colleagues, and watch as your company culture transforms for the better.

25/06/2024

Are you struggling to retain your top talent? The answer may lie in a simple yet powerful concept: employee appreciation.

By recognizing and valuing your team's hard work, you can create a workplace culture that fosters loyalty, motivation, and job satisfaction.

Employee resource groups (ERGs) are an incredible asset for any company looking to support and empower underrepresented groups within their workforce.

These employee-led groups provide a space for people to connect, share experiences, and advocate for change.

I've had the privilege of working with many ERGs to plan events and initiatives that celebrate diversity and drive progress towards a more inclusive workplace.

If your company doesn't have ERGs yet, I highly recommend exploring how they can benefit your team.

And if you do have them, make sure you're supporting and amplifying their important work!

You know what they say – teamwork makes the dream work!

But building strong relationships among your employees doesn't happen by accident. It takes intentional effort and investment.

One of my favorite parts of event planning is coming up with activities and experiences that bring people together and help them connect on a deeper level.

From team-building workshops to volunteer days, there are so many ways to foster a sense of belonging and appreciation within your company.

What's your go-to strategy for strengthening employee relationships?

15/06/2024

As a leader, it's so important to take the time to really listen to your employees and understand what's causing them stress or dissatisfaction at work.

It's not always easy, but it's the only way to create positive change.

I encourage all my clients to prioritize open and honest communication with their teams.

What strategies do you use to keep a pulse on employee happiness?

13/06/2024

Here's a stat that might surprise you: 37% of employees say recognition is the most important factor for their job satisfaction.

That's huge!

And that doesn’t count those employees who also value recognition, just not as their #1 motivator.

It just goes to show how much of an impact a simple “thank you” or “great job” can have on your team.

As an event planner, I love helping companies come up with creative ways to show their appreciation – whether it's a heartfelt award ceremony or a fun team outing.

What's your favorite way to make your employees feel valued?

At the end of the day, employee appreciation is about making your team members feel valued, recognized, and supported. It's about creating a workplace culture that celebrates successes, big and small, and acknowledges the unique contributions of each individual.

By getting creative with your appreciation strategies and prioritizing the needs of your employees, you can build a loyal, engaged, and motivated workforce that drives your organization forward.

The power of appreciation. When we recognize and celebrate the excellence in others, we not only lift them up but also elevate ourselves, our teams, and our entire organization.

By creating a culture of gratitude and appreciation, we foster a sense of belonging, collaboration, and shared success. And we set the stage for others to recognize and celebrate one another too.

Take a moment today to express your appreciation for a colleague or team member who embodies excellence, and watch as their positive impact ripples throughout your company.

Employee appreciation doesn't have to be limited to the office walls or bank accounts.

By offering personalized experiences, you can show your team members that you value their interests and well-being outside of work.

From cooking classes to outdoor adventures, these unique experiences create lasting memories and foster deeper connections among colleagues.

Plus, they provide a much-needed break from the daily grind, allowing employees to return to work refreshed and motivated.

What personalized experiences have you offered your team, and how have they impacted morale and engagement?

Imagine walking into a corporate event where every detail is tailored to your unique interests and needs. From the sessions you attend to the people you meet, everything is curated to maximize your experience and help you achieve your goals.

Sound like science fiction?

With the power of artificial intelligence (and help from your favorite event planner!), this level of personalization is becoming a reality.

AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we plan and execute corporate events.

By analyzing attendee data and preferences, AI tools can help create customized experiences that resonate with each individual. This could include personalized agendas that highlight relevant sessions, intelligent networking recommendations that connect you with like-minded attendees, and even real-time translation that breaks down language barriers.

But the benefits of AI go beyond just personalization. By automating routine tasks and providing data-driven insights, AI can help event planners work more efficiently and make better decisions. This means more time and resources can be devoted to crafting engaging, impactful experiences that leave a lasting impression.

While virtual and hybrid events were a lifeline during the pandemic, there's something irreplaceable about the magic of face-to-face connection. And those in-person events are definitely back…with a big impact!

There's a palpable energy that comes from being in the same room, sharing ideas, and creating memories together. From the serendipitous conversations during coffee breaks to the laughter and applause of a live audience, in-person events offer a richness of experience that's hard to replicate online.

But this doesn't mean we have to leave behind the lessons and innovations of the virtual era. As event planners, we have a unique opportunity to combine the best of both worlds – the accessibility and flexibility of digital tools with the depth and impact of in-person interaction.

Whether it's incorporating virtual elements to extend your reach or using technology to enhance the on-site experience, the future of events is all about creating meaningful, multidimensional connections.

That means embracing tech and leaning on real time, face to face connecting – all at the same time!

13/05/2024

As more clients want in-person events to increase employee feelings of belonging, I've been thinking a lot about how to make them feel fresh and exciting again.

After so much time apart, it's important to create experiences that really celebrate being together.

Some ideas to consider:

🙌 interactive workshops
😍 volunteer activities
🎉 events that showcase local culture and flavors

The goal is to create a shared sense of purpose and connection that reminds us why we love gathering in the first place.

11/05/2024

One of the biggest challenges of virtual team-building events is keeping attendees engaged and connected. But with a little creativity and the right tools, it's definitely possible!

I've seen companies host everything from virtual escape rooms to online cooking classes to keep their employees entertained and interacting.

The key is to choose activities that promote teamwork, communication, and a bit of friendly competition.

When done right, virtual events can be just as fun and rewarding as in-person ones.

10/05/2024

As a seasoned event planner, I've seen the power of small, intimate gatherings firsthand.

There's just something special about bringing a tight-knit group together in an inspiring space.

The conversations are richer, the connections are deeper, and the memories last a lifetime.

If you're looking to foster genuine engagement and build a strong company culture, don't underestimate the impact of a well-crafted small event.
