Party Planning Guru Reveals Top Office Party Tips To Win Over Employees
Georgoulis’s busiest month is October, a time for starting the holiday party planning season. He has learned that an aptly designed party strategy influences good office morale and employee goodwill.
“Be aware of what makes your staff tick and what they consider to be a just reward for a year of hard work” says Georgoulis, “A badly planned party can mean disaster”. “Avoid planning pitfalls by setting realistic budgets, conducting staff consultations and developing checklists months before the event. Organize a planning committee to empower staff and make the process fun and interactive. Reserve your venue in October to avoid disappointment.”
Georgoulis is a strong believer in casual gatherings like mixers, lunches and after work cocktails and suggests avoiding intimate affaires at all cost. He encourages office management to design parties that force staff to relax, to socialize and feel rewarded. Georgoulis’s Top 10 Holiday Party Tips are below:
