Customer Service

Recently, a teacher whose class regularly scores top marks shared her secret for team building success with me. It's easy, she told me. Each week, we set a goal as a class. If we've reached the goal at the end of the week, I treat the class to pizza and a game and then we sit down and plan next week's goal.


In a nutshell, this is a tried and tested strategy for building and maintaining successful teamwork that any corporate event planner should take to heart. My teacher friend's Friday afternoon 'pizza party' serves a triple function - recognizing the work achieved, rewarding the team for their hard work, commitment and dedication to the project, therefore serving as a springboard for the next goal. To be successful, a corporate event should aim to achieve three important goals - recognize, reward and motivate.


The same rules apply when you're dealing with high-powered executives, programmers or salespeople, however, a Friday afternoon pizza party may not be quite the ticket and may not achieve the same results as it did for a classroom of children. Higher goals merit higher rewards - but the principle remains the same. If you're planning a corporate event weekend, then your plans should include all three arms of the success formula.


This isn't as difficult to do as it may seem. Any corporate event that's meant to recognize and reward contributions to the team can serve as a springboard for planning further successful activities and include team building activities to further cement the bonds of the work group. An event that's planned as a team buildingweekend could easily include a recognition dinner to reward those members of the team who've made oustanding contributions.


The key to making sure that your corporate event accomplishes all of your goals ensues careful planning right from the start. Before you decide on the activities for your corporate event, take the time to work out your goals. 
Is it your aim to reward your employees? 

• Recognize achievements? 
  
  
  
  
• Motivate your teams? 
  
  
  
  
• Build Confidence and relationships?
  
  
  

Once you know what it is that you want to accomplish, it's time to call in the professionals.

Even more importantly, they'll bring their own experience to the planning table - and the execution of the event. Using a professional corporate event service means you needn't worry that someone will forget to meet the keynote speaker's plane, and your own important members of staff aren't tying up their time running around planning the small things that take the most time. All in all, freeing up time and eleviating the stresses surrounding the organisation of these events,creating a happier, relaxed atmosphere before setting off on your team building corporate events day. 


In the end, choosing to use a corporate event planning service is no different to any other business decision. You hand the work to those that have the best resources to accomplish the task. When it comes to fitting a corporate event to its purpose, a professional event planner can turn your company recognition dinner into a motivating, rewarding and inspiring team building event that will kick your next quarter into high gear.
