There are lots of reasons to have a company picnic this year. Perhaps the best reason is to provide a bonding experience throughout your company among your employees and bosses. The other major opportunity a company picnic is great is to bring in the employees families to meet and play with each other. Once you have run the 3 legged race with a co worker, you will definitely get to know them better! When you return to the workplace, you will remember your experiences, and build that experience into your everyday working respect for each other.
When planning a company picnic there are many questions to have answered. The first is - What kind of fun and games should you plan for your event? The list is long when considering all the fun items that are available. From simple fun concessions featuring sno-cones to dunking booth games and balloon tosses, the whole company will enjoy themselves. I always try to have something for everyone at any event that will have a large range of people from all ages. I enjoy watching kids do face painting, teenagers do skill games like shooting baskets side by side in a pop-a-shot competition and older adults like magician acts and karaoke. Many of the older people in attendance will enjoy just sitting under an old fashioned tent and people watching while the younger set runs around and has a great time.
Perhaps my favorites are the games where I see people playing children's field games, running around in a field race or trying to get someone else soaked with a water balloon. When I see that type of enthusiasm I know the party is being done well and the client will have a happy experience.
Most corporate event and company picnic planning companies take a lot of pride in all the services they offer. Some specialize in making a customized package of delicious food, and fun entertainment to make your event the best it can be. They will bring all personnel and equipment and set everything up at your location, either a park, picnic site, or your own place of business. You can have all the fun and receive all the praise for a great event.
A great benefit of this type of corporate outing is that you do not have to spend lots of money to have a great time. Companies try to keep costs low by providing you only things that you will use and have fun with. Most have tried to eliminate some of the more expensive items that can be used at a picnic. While those items are available if you have a larger budget, most companies are turning towards an old fashioned family style picnic as opposed to a trip to an amusement park. Most of the time, with proper advanced notice, the management of these event companies will be on site well before and long after your guests leave with smiles on their faces and a tummy full of wonderful fresh food and concessions.
