At Accolades Events, we know that it's much easier and cost-effective to keep a valued employee than it is to hire and train a new one. When people feel valued, motivation and loyalty increases, AND it's contagious!
Research shows that top companies retain the best employees using a variety of "perks". While it would be nice to give everyone a raise or even a bonus, in today's economy that may not be practical. Many companies are finding a more affordable way to make employees feeling valued is through special events, which serve to:
- Motivate your people, which improves the morale of everyone in the office.
- Generate synergy and get better productivity from your staff.
- Strengthen teamwork and develop creativity.
- Invest in your human capital, which is paramount in today’s knowledge-based economy.
Consider...
- Your business is riding on your top performers and sales people. Motivate and incent your employees with something that's a little bit out of the ordinary like a leisurely day canoeing, a bike tour in wine country, a treasure hunt car rally, trip to a farm with a fresh-from-the-garden meal, salsa lessons, or improvisational team building.
- Celebrating the holidays together in a relaxed fashion can not only honour a diverse set of cultural traditions but can help to build a common bond between colleagues and strengthen relationships. Whether it's at the office, or a specially chosen venue, we can develop an event that addresses your unique corporate needs.
- Mark a special occasion such as an anniversary, or long-term commitment to health or safety with a spa weekend, catered dinner or gala, or special night of entertainment. Explore another cultural with a theme dinner and flamenco or belly dancing?
- Need to recognize a job well done and rejuvenate a team after achieving a challenging milestone? What about a lesson in meditation or trip to the spa, a relaxing creativity workshop, guided nature walk, or weekend retreat?
- For team building, there's nothing like a day or overnight retreat to inject some creative juices into your teams. We can recommend a list of venues and speakers to motivate and educate.
- Need to educate your employees on a new policy, the annual sales plan, or even just brush up on some productivity enhancing skills? Why not add a little fun and entertainment? We have connections and can develop something special to add a little excitement to what might otherwise be "just another business meeting".
- Want to help keep your busy executives in top form? It's important to take time to rejuvenate, no matter how rushed everything seems. Our 2-day, overnight exclusive retreats are just want you need to keep your top executives "on their game".
