Make your events matter with engaging reasons to attend
Can you believe we’re racing towards the end of yet another year? There’s no denying it’s been a year with more challenges as we continue to navigate the ups and downs of an uncertain economic climate, not to mention everyone striving to find the right balance for their organisation and team members with new ways of working. Is a mandated return to the office the right fit? Is a fully remote team delivering the results you need? How many days in the office is enough, and what are the possible trade-offs in productivity and team connection.
There’s no one correct answer, and each business is unique. The economic climate is impacting various industries differently, as are workplace trends. But what we do know is that it is still important to bring your teams together. Face-to-face connection is an opportunity to engage, entertain and inspire your people.
As you plan your 2024 strategy and team meetings, it’s an excellent opportunity to make it more than just a corporate talk fest and bring your focus back to how it can benefit your people. Let’s explore.
Show your team that they matter
Many people have had to do more with less this past year – personally and professionally.
Managing a tight economy with rising inflation means many businesses have kept spending in check. On a personal front, many of your team may have been impacted by the increased cost of living, needing to cut back on discretionary spending like eating out and activities.
In addition, low unemployment has meant a lot of businesses have found hiring staff difficult. Consequently, existing team members have needed to add to their workloads.
If you’re already planning a 2024 team meeting, a couple of simple add-ons like a food and beverage package for some socialising or a team building experience can effectively show your appreciation. Combining this with an existing meeting booking can be a more budget-effective strategy than a stand-alone booking. A bonus is that it helps to give your team a more vital reason to attend in person.
Don’t just talk; engage and inspire
It’s important to bring your people on the journey when sharing your 2024 vision.
Creating an event that engages and inspires can bring your strategy to life. Cliftons can help you source from a wide range of incredible speakers and trainers. Whether you want a workshop to address a specific skills gap or to ignite your team with a dynamic speaker with a fascinating story to tell, we can work with you to find the perfect speaker to fit your goals. So don’t just make it a one-way presentation focusing on budgets, sales targets and KPIs. Bring your people on the journey.
