Competitions for leading corporate events. How to have fun at a corporate event. Funny contests for colleagues for the New Year. Help with family matters

In addition to joint calendar holidays, each team hosts corporate events on the occasion of the company’s birthday, professional holiday, especially successful contract, etc. Typically, such events are organized in the form of a buffet with congratulations from the management and performances by invited creative groups.

But, if you want to arrange an evening with a game program and honoring employees, then this corporate party script "Let's compliment each other" will be very appropriate. The script contains entertainment, team games that unite the entire team and create a high spirits for everyone.

Corporate party scenario.

The evening begins with B. Okudzhava’s song “Let’s compliment each other”

Leading: Good evening, gentlemen! Isn't it true, wonderful words! And they fit perfectly with our evening, and you, of course, know that they belong to the pen of Bulat Okudzhava. This wonderful poet did not even imagine that the relevance of his words would only increase every year. Indeed, in our age of high speeds and crazy technologies, completely simple human concepts recede into the background: communication with colleagues, intimate conversations with girlfriends, meetings around the fire with friends - they are being replaced by virtual and mobile communications. We live experiencing a constant lack of warmth, attention and ordinary human participation. However, everything is in our hands! And we have gathered here not to be sad, but to give each other this deficiency and be charged with its positive energy for future use!

A game for getting to know each other and bringing guests together “Truth in a Ball”

(you can watch the game or choose another option more suitable for the company in)

Toast for rapprochement and acquaintance.

Presentation of humorous nominations to employees.

Leading: Based on the results of this survey and questionnaire, which was conducted in advance, I am pleased to announce that this year each of you has received the following nominations (lookOption 2 )…..

(diplomas or medals are awarded)

Leading: Well, as they say, “the awards have found their heroes.” Tell me, what usually accompanies any celebration in addition to stormy applause and solemn fanfare?

The players answer.

Leading: Of course, we haven’t prepared the presentation of beautiful and unusual bouquets, then we will collect them right here.

Team game "Bouquet and song collage"

This game is suitable for mass reach of guests, since here we will “collect” bouquets. To begin with, we call five or six of the most active guests and invite them to collect a bouquet of “flowers”, that is, recruit colleagues for their team dressed in a certain color of clothing: yellow, red, blue, orange, etc. The teams may turn out to be unequal in number - that’s okay. What matters is how they know how to demonstrate their talents. But first, let the presenter briefly tell you what each of the colors means. For example, green is the color of health, optimism and hope. You can ask the green team how they are doing with hope and health, etc. then the teams receive one paper daisy, on the back of which are written lines from poems and songs that mention flowers or colors, as well as the names of excerpts for the team “color” dance. The teams themselves decide who reads the poem, who sings, but they all perform the dance to the song where their color is mentioned (the music is provided by a DJ). Thus, each team gives its own small concert. The winners are determined by applause.

Game with the audience "Let's give compliments"

Host: As we see flowers, they are truly a unique gift. Only compliments can compare with them. Shall we exchange?

Men say adjectives that describe women beginning with the letter “F,” and women praise men with the letter “M.” The last one to answer wins.

Leading: You noticed that men were still a little more inventive, apparently, they have more experience, and maybe even more imagination. After all, when a man seeks the favor of a lady he likes, he can sometimes be magically inventive. I would like to ask: men, what qualities do you attribute to the ideal woman in your fantasies?

Answers follow, among which the presenter literally seizes on the word “weak.”

Leading: Well, since a woman is weak, then a real man, in my opinion, is the one with whom she can afford this quality. Let's get creative! You strong men, what wish of a weak beloved woman would you fulfill if God gave you the power to create magic?!

Of course, men begin to fantasize. In this case, the presenter must work not just as a commentator, but also make sure that the ladies present express their opinion about male fantasies.

Song compliments between the male and female half of the team.

Leading: How wonderful men are as wizards, aren’t they, ladies! Let's reward them for their good intentions with at least applause! Of course, if the ladies wish, you can kiss them on the cheek! However, I dare to remind you that the main goal of our evening is “to compliment each other”! That's why I'm announcing a “compliment auction”! I will ask you to remember all the poems and songs where a man or woman declares their love.

For example, song compliments. The female half of the hall suggests: “Oh, what a man he was, a real colonel.” And the male one replies: “Oh, this girl drove me crazy, broke my heart...”

If the audience is ready to exchange poetic compliments, then carry out this option:

Men:“I loved you silently, hopelessly...” The ladies do not remain in debt and quote Tsvetaeva: “Thank you with my heart and hand for being with me - without knowing it yourself! - love you so much!...” The one who utters the last compliment wins.

There is no need to rush people here; on the contrary, stock up on tips and encourage guests to make as many quotes as possible. Those who remember the most beautiful or witty quotes can be given small gifts.

Leading: Isn’t it true that poetry tunes our souls in a special way! However, music has a similar influence on us. It is not for nothing that these two manifestations of human sensitivity get along so well with each other and give birth to a song.

Concert number - a love song sounds.

Corporate table chant "Let's be happy?! Hurray!"

Leading: Mutual compliments have already brought us many pleasant moments, haven’t they? Perhaps someone already wanted to scream with happiness?! I propose to do this according to the rules of corporate ethics: amicably and with enthusiasm. I read out the quatrain, and after my words “Let’s be happy,” you all shout loudly: “Hurray!”

Leading: Let them accompany you everywhere

We have favorable winds!

Let love warm us

Let's be happy...

All guests: "Hooray!"

Leading: May it be with us this evening

There will be kind words!

We don't mind, we're glad to meet you

Let's be happy...

All guests: "Hooray!"

Leading: Let time run, rejoicing,

After all, now is the time!

Games, dancing, kissing.

Let's be happy...

All guests: "Hooray!"

Leading: We wish everyone to have fun,

Right up until the morning!

May the holiday last forever

Let's be happy...

All guests: "Hooray!"

Funny photo session "Share your smile."

Leading: How much you smiled just now and this is the best result I could hope for as a presenter. Let's hold a “Smiling Competition”! The conditions are simple: you need to smile! First, let's compete in the breadth of a smile! Even wider! Now show me a smile from the bottom of your heart! Even more soulful! Class! Some even had tears in their eyes, but these are tears of happiness!

This was just a rehearsal, the real competition will begin only now. And this will be an express photo competition for the most charming smile.

(To conduct the competition you will need: a camera, pre-copied children's photos with funny facial expressions - different one for each participant, a projector or monitor. The participant is given a photo of the child, his task is to repeat the facial expressions in front of the camera. Then a slide is quickly made from all the photos and shown to everyone hall. The audience chooses the best one.)

A scene for a corporate event at the IT company "Dialogue at the Monitor"

A corporate party is not only a way to unite the team, but also a fun time. In order for it to be such, you need to try. Games at a corporate party will lift the spirits of everyone present and brighten up any evening. Which ones are the most popular? Cool games at corporate events are usually organized in the form of competitions in which several team members, and sometimes entire teams, participate. This evening program will be suitable for both already united workers and strangers. It is best to hold competitions after a couple of toasts, when the drinks taken will relax and enliven the guests.

Let's take a closer look at these games and competitions:

“Don’t take pictures all evening!”
"Remember all".
"Accuracy".
"Deaf telephone" and others.

“Don’t take pictures all evening!”

Surely every man in the team will come to the corporate event in a formal suit, and women will wear dresses for the occasion. Such outfits seem too strict, they are not entirely suitable for fun, and the dark colors of the suits are not at all pleasing to the eye. This competition will help you add excitement to your business image. It is best suited for men. Women in this case will act as spectators.

The most unusual and colorful wardrobe items are placed in a large cardboard box: hats, glasses, carnival masks, clown noses, skirts and much more. To the music, the competition participants will pass the box to each other, and as soon as its sound stops, without looking, they will choose one thing for themselves. It is the loser who puts it on himself. The game is played as a knockout game. Only one of the participants will be the winner and will be left without an addition to the costume.

Participants in the competition will have to wear all purchased items until the end of the evening. Surely it will be fun to see a security officer in a spectacular bra, and a plant director wearing a children's cap on his head.

"Remember all"

On sheets of paper you need to write one word each and form two teams of players. Each team chooses a piece of paper with a task word. They need to remember and sing a song containing this word. The team that sings the most songs wins. Unity in this competition is not the least important.

"Accuracy"

Games at corporate parties, funny and cheerful, usually have ambiguous connotations. Participants are divided into pairs: a man and a woman. The woman’s task is to firmly hold an empty bottle without a cap between her legs. A nail is attached to the man's trousers, which must be used to get into the neck of the bottle. This will not be easy to do. Under the laughter of colleagues and cheerful music, someone will have to become a winner.

"Deaf Phone"

We all played “Deaf Telephone” as children. Do you remember how fun it was? Why not borrow corporate party games from your childhood? It is best to choose words for participants that are complex and close to the profession. Participants can be confused by words that sound like obscene expressions. The longer the “deaf phone” chain, the more unexpected the last player’s answer will be.

"Zodiac sign"

Perhaps it is thanks to the corporate party that colleagues will open their eyes to many qualities of each other that were not known until now. Games at corporate parties, funny in nature, become even more fun if the participants have artistic talent. The essence of the game is that each person must depict his or her zodiac sign without words; you can only use gestures and facial expressions. The rest will have to guess. It is best to play the game in a cheerful group.

"Musical chairs"

Competitions and games for corporate parties do not have to be new; we should not forget about those that have become a tradition. No party is complete without musical chairs. The rules are simple and have long been known to everyone. The number of chairs is one less than the number of players. To the music, the participants move and dance around the chairs, and as soon as it turns off, everyone must take their place on one of them. The loser does not have enough chair, the game continues for elimination. The chairs are removed with each loser. There will be one winner.

Dance

Games at a corporate party in a team should lift your spirits and create a special atmosphere. Any number of people willing are invited to participate in the competition. They are given the task: to write a certain word or number in the air with part of their body. You need to do this with the fifth point, carefully drawing the details of the sign in the air. While the participants are completing the task, it is best to turn on erotic music for striptease. Members of the team who remain as spectators will watch an extremely funny picture.

Table games

Table games for corporate parties can be not only intellectual, but also fun. Time will fly by unnoticed, and most importantly, with benefit and pleasure. Table games exclude observers. All team members will be able to be involved in the process. Table games for women at corporate events are also most often used.

"Mafia"

The cult game "Mafia" has become extremely popular. Many positive aspects make it not only interesting, but also useful. It unites the team, develops attentiveness and thinking, as well as acting skills and cunning, the ability to take risks and much more.

Any number of participants sits at a round table. You can use playing cards and agree on which one represents what. The leader takes a number of cards equal to the number of participants. A small team may have one mafia, a large team may have two, etc. Red cards may represent the mafia, while black cards may represent civilians. The host deals the cards and the players get their role. The mafia's task is to deceive civilians, and they, in turn, must guess who the mafia is.

"What? Where? When?"

Another game familiar to everyone can become a “feature” of your corporate evening. Everyone knows the rules of the game. There should be two or more teams, but the tasks must be thought out in advance. It would be a good idea to link them to the theme of the evening or to the specialization of your company.

"Voice"

Team cohesion can become the object of careful testing with the help of games at a corporate party. Every day, spending everyday life with the same people, we remember them not only by their appearance, but also by their voice, and sometimes we recognize them by the sound of their steps. The “Voice” game involves testing your memory for the voices of your colleagues.

One participant is selected and turned with his back to the table. Each colleague speaks one phrase, changing his voice. The player, relying on memory and intuition, must determine who exactly the voice belongs to and voice the name of this person. This way you can not only have fun, but also test the degree of cohesion among employees.

"Not looking"

To play at a corporate party, a volunteer is selected and blindfolded. Without looking, by touch, he must recognize his colleagues and say their names. To confuse the participant, you can take off your tie, wear a push-up bra over your shirt, try on a wig, and so on. You may hear many unexpected answers to the question, which will undoubtedly be fun.

"Colleague"

Pieces of paper are placed into the container, on which the names of the employees and their position are written. Any number of people can participate. Players take turns taking out a piece of paper. Each of them must show by gestures, habits and facial expressions whose name he got. The task of everyone else is to guess the position held and name their colleague.

"Let's shake hands"

Games at a corporate party for getting to know each other are usually held at the very beginning of the feast. Shaking each other's hands at the first meeting has been a tradition for a long time, and everyone knows about it. The entire team needs to be divided into two teams. A competitive spirit will help you make acquaintances quickly. To the music, people sitting at the table will have to shake hands in a chain. The team finishing first will be considered the winner.

"Snowball"

Games at a corporate party in a team, held for getting to know each other, can also develop the memory of the participants. Employees sit in a large circle. One of them says his name. The next one is the name of the previous one and your own. So, from the starting player, everyone must say the names of all the previous people and then their own. The most difficult task, of course, will go to the person who will have to name all the names.

Mobile competitions for corporate events

Movement is life. Moving competitions will make you move a little. You can arrange a relay race among the participants. The tasks should not be too difficult. Teams of 5-6 people will have to strive not only to win and complete their tasks, but also to be a spectacle for observers.

"Director's name"

One letter is written on A4 sheets, and these sheets are compiled into a word. Or rather, in the name of the director of the enterprise. Teams must unravel the word scrambled on the sheets and quickly form the name in the correct order so that the name is readable.

"Important Paper"

Participants of two teams must form two circles. Their hands are located behind their backs, and in the mouth of one of their colleagues there is an “important” paper. You need to pass it only with your mouth, holding the edge of the sheet. The team that does this faster will be the winner. It is important that the paper goes around a full circle and does not fall.

Competitions and games for corporate parties are the basis of a successful evening. Determine your own goals for the event in order to choose the right program for your pastime. Remember that each goal is achieved in its own way, but the shortest is a good mood and a positive approach. In any case, games and competitions are an important component of the so-called team building. They can be arranged not only at corporate events, but also during breaks in the work process.

Let's take a closer look at these games and competitions:

“Don’t take pictures all evening!”
"Remember all".

"Deaf telephone" and others.

Competitions for corporate events

It’s easy to start having fun and having fun at a corporate party; with these competitions your event will become more interesting and fun! Take these competitions for corporate events into your arsenal and it will be 100% successful

Office parties can be exciting or completely hopeless. But everything is in your hands. With fun competitions and ideas, you can make any holiday unforgettable.

Fun competitions for a corporate event

“There was a crocodile walking”

To participate, you will need to divide the players into two teams. One of the teams chooses a “victim” from the other team - a person who hears the hidden word in his ear. The player must explain it to his team without using sounds or speech, i.e. using gestures. Those guessing have several attempts to guess what they are trying to portray here. If the answer is correct, the team gets a point. Then the guessing team is given the opportunity to take revenge - now they choose a player from among their opponents and guess a new word for him. You can play for points, or just for fun and a good mood.

By the way, it is not necessary to guess exactly the words; you can complicate the task and guess famous phrases from films, songs, or the personalities of famous people. In addition, either one or several participants can show what was hidden.

“What does it cost us... to build a word!”

Although the competition is difficult to prepare, the result justifies all the efforts. This is really funny! And in principle, the preparation is not so difficult, you just need not to miss anything and organize the participants correctly. You need to get large enough posters with images of letters. Some letters, such as common vowels, can be done in twos. Those wishing to participate are divided into two teams, each player is given one letter (it is attached to the chest), or two letters (then the back will also be decorated with a poster).

So, the teams are ready and now they have to make words from the letters on them - real words that are known to everyone. The result is shown to the audience in turn: one team, then the other. You need to line up one after another so that you can easily read the resulting word. If a participant has two letters, then only one can be used in one round. The letters cannot be removed from clothing, and you can also add a ban on any conversations between participants. When the teams begin to get out of their way and make up words that do not exist, or that are only similar to real ones, or that mean something funny, the laughter in the hall does not subside, and emotions go off scale.

"Thick-cheeked lip-slapper"

This game is for the two bravest sweet lovers, because the props here are “caramel” candies, or as they are popularly called – icicles. Two players must take turns putting candy in their mouths; swallowing it is prohibited. It turns out that the sweets gradually accumulate in the mouth, and after each new sweet the participant calls his competitor the phrase “fat-cheeked lip slap.” The winner will be the one who can put the maximum amount of candy in his mouth and at the same time pronounce the treasured phrase about the lip slap. The more candies in the mouth, the funnier the phrase sounds, the more ridiculous the player looks, the more whoops and laughter are heard from those watching.

"FLYING GAIT"

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Any.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE: Bottles (plastic or glass).

ESSENCE: Bottles are placed in a row in front of the volunteer, at the same distance. He is blindfolded and asked to go through an obstacle without touching a single container. While the victim is indignant at the difficulty of the task, the bottles are removed. As a result, you get a proud flamingo bird, diligently pacing around the office.

Competition "Testing Your Wits"

A memorable competition will be testing your colleagues with the questions “What to do?” The one who can come up with the wittiest answer wins. An example of a question: “What should you do if the report that you needed to deliver today to the most important customer, which you wrote for the last few nights in a row, was deleted from the computer’s memory on its own?”

Active competitions for a corporate event

Dancing with balloons

We form dance couples and inflate balloons - one per couple. Partners do not necessarily have to be of different sexes; close contact between them is not envisaged.
Each couple receives a balloon and places it between their bodies. Turn on the music and start dancing. The essence of the competition is to hold a balloon while dancing. A couple will be eliminated from the competition if:

the dancers could not hold the ball and it fell;
the dancers tried too hard and the balloon burst;
the dancers tried to hold the ball with their hands.

Naturally, the winner is the last couple left.

Office Twerk

How to play
This is a fun and entertaining game. The goal of the game is to fill an empty box with a hole (there should be a little more than the balls through the hole) of fabric with ping pong balls. Fill the box completely with balls. Attach the belt to it and wrap it around the participant's waist. Set the timer for 2 minutes. Participants need to move his/her hips to completely empty the box of balls. The team whose member is the first to empty the box wins.

Rules
The competitor may not use their hands to remove the balls. Throughout the game, the balls should come out on their own, thanks to your body movements. Plus, you can't lie down on the floor or spin around to get the balls out of the box.

Competition "Cinderella"

Guests are divided into two teams and divided into pairs “man + woman”. One participant in the competition portrays “Cinderella” - instead of a partner, he is given a mop, with which he must dance. As soon as the host turns off the music, the couples break up and quickly form again with other partners. “Cinderella” at the same time throws away the mop and grabs the first one who comes to hand to dance, but always a man - a woman and a woman - a man.
The one left without a partner becomes “Cinderella” and dances with the mop until the next tune!

Let's play musical chair!

A completely child's game, but even more fun for adults! We arrange chairs in a circle - their number should be one less than the number of participants. Everyone dances, and when the music stops, they immediately sit down on chairs. Anyone who does not have time to sit on a chair either drops out of the game or takes off some of his clothes and jewelry (shoes, neck scarf, bracelet). If the player refuses to continue, another chair is removed.

The only condition for such entertainment is that all participants must have a sense of humor! Then the game will be very fun - after all, you can take off only one shoe or sacrifice a shirt, remaining in a vest...

Competition “Hit the target with binoculars”

In order to make any game more interesting and unusual, you just need to turn on your imagination. In fact, this competition is one of the variations of the shooting range. You can “shoot” with anything and at anything: snowballs at snowmen, darts at a target painted on a tree, or a slingshot at pins and aluminum cans. The main thing is to look at the target through... real binoculars! In this case, you can play both by increasing the goal and decreasing it. Players are given 3-4 attempts, and the presenter records the number of hits and gives out prizes!

Logic competitions for a corporate event

Guess the movie

How to Play: Make as many groups of 4 as you can and give each team enough Blu-Tack or Play-Doh. Take a few pieces of paper and write down the different movie titles along with its star cast from each movie. Place the pieces of paper inside the bowl and once the timing begins, each group will play one note from the bowl. Now the goal of the game is to use plasticine and make a small figurine of this character from the movie. Whose figurine is ready (and visually similar), that team wins the game.

Rules: No specific rules of the game. The main thing is to be the first to create a beautiful figure. Participants can use the Internet to look at images of characters to make them more recognizable.

Guess the quote

First, you need to make as many groups as you can out of 3 - 4. Make notes that have movie titles in them. Place the notes inside the bowl and each team then chooses one note from it. The goal of the game is to construct an entire conversation using dialogues written on pieces of paper. Teammates must guess which films the dialogue is taken from and how the participants spoke. One team can only speak to other teams, using only the movie dialogue they received from the bowl.

“I’ll sing now” or guess the melody of the song

This competition requires the participation of a minimum of six people. Future music lovers should divide into two teams and take turns listening to 10-15 fairly well-known or popular songs today. Moreover, the music will play no more than 15-20 seconds. If one of the teams is late with the answer, the right to guess is transferred to the opponents. For the correct answer, each team is awarded 1 point. Accordingly, the side with the most points wins.

More advanced song lovers are also divided into a pair of teams, they will have a more difficult task than in the previous version. Of course, they won’t have to sing; everything is more complicated here. A member of one of the teams will have to gurgle, whistle or tap a song, the name of which will be learned from the host of the competition. Then everything goes according to clock – the team that delayed the answer transfers the right to vote to its opponents.

Team competitions for a corporate event

"Paper Basketball"

We recruit 10 people and create a couple of teams. Players must stand in two lines, and each participant receives a small stack of paper. We install 2 baskets 4-6 meters from the teams. At a signal, members of the first team must grab a piece of paper, crumple them into a ball, throw them into the trash bin one by one, and run to the end of the line to throw their next paper ball again. Let people have fun like this for 10-15 minutes. The winner will be the side that has more “shells” in the basket than the opponent.

Braiding

Props: for each team - three ribbons 0.5 meters long. The ends of the ribbons are tied in a knot at the top, and the other ends are distributed to the participants. One participant holds the knot, and three are braiding. The trick of the game is that the ends of the tapes cannot be released from your hands and passed on to each other. The team that braids the hair the fastest wins!

Memories

You can play with any number of participants – at least 100 people. Each volunteer needs to tell about some pleasant, funny event related to the company. It is advisable that the “shelf life” of memories does not exceed one season or year. Anyone who finds it difficult to answer is eliminated from the game. The employee with the best memory and the longest memory will win a prize.

Creative competitions for a corporate event

Competition “Complete the mosaic” or “Company logo”

Surely the company you work for has a logo. Make two copies of it with a frame on colored paper. If you don’t know how, any simple Photoshop will help you. After designing the logo, print these two copies on A4 sheet. We glue the finished sheets onto a piece of cardboard and use scissors to cut them into uneven pieces (25-30 pieces). Then we invite our colleagues to participate in the competition and create 2 teams. The opponents' task is to be the first to collect the whole picture: whoever finished first wins!

“Puppeteers” or talent competition

Members of the corporate party are invited to take part in the fair. Players who agree are given a certain amount of time to make a doll from any available means. When the deadline approaches, the participants put their creations on public display and await the “verdict” of the competition judges. All these simple crafts can be made from ropes, handkerchiefs, cords, cutlery, bottles and even fruits, which players can quietly “steal” from the festive table.

Competition "Test of Creativity"

Each person present is given a sheet with a fragment drawn on it. Looking at an unfinished drawing, it is impossible to understand what is really intended there. Guests are encouraged to finish what they started. When the presenter provides the original, and everyone can compare it with what he came up with, there will be no end to the laughter and jokes.

Competition “Write a poem”

Each participant is given a piece of paper with four words written on it. His task is to come up with a quatrain using these 4 words. It is desirable that the poem be thematic, for example, if it is some kind of holiday, then the poem will be a congratulation on this holiday, or simply touching on the theme of this event. In the competition, you can come up with several nominations, for example, “the funniest quatrain”, “the most thematic quatrain”, “the most awkward quatrain”, etc., and based on the results of the competition, choose a winner for each nomination.

Competitions help lift the spirits of guests and improve team relationships. And how many memories they will give! Be sure to include them in your corporate event scenarios!

Posted On 03/04/2018

Corporate events and general holidays are designed to unite the team and make it friendlier. The cheerful atmosphere contributes greatly to this. Funny competitions and original competitions will help to add variety, add even more brightness, laughter and jokes.

Guests are divided into several teams, depending on the total number of people at the holiday. The team should have approximately 5-6 people. The task of each team is to think over and show a funny short film from the theme: “One day in our work.” For the best acting, production, etc., the team receives an Oscar in the form of a bottle of champagne, for example.

Briefing

Participants are given cards with humorous questions. For example, “how to make a dog fly”, “how to quickly stop a plane”, “how to eat pea soup” and so on. In one or two minutes, players must compose detailed step-by-step instructions and write them down on a piece of paper. The author of the most detailed and funny instructions wins.

A word from each

All guests sit in a circle and start the game, each participant must name a word that will begin with the last letter of the previous word from their profession. Whoever doesn’t name is eliminated, and whoever remains until the last one will receive a prize. For example, a corporate party for accountants: balance - fixed assets - asset - gross product and so on.

Selfie of the evening.

At the beginning of the evening, the host announces that throughout the fun and celebration there will be a competition for the best selfie. That is, there will be a camera on the table that each of the guests can take and photograph themselves in the most interesting pose, for example, with the boss, on the balcony, and so on. At the end of the evening, all the shots are shown on the big screen (using a USB connection) and the best selfie is chosen based on the applause of the guests. And so that guests don’t forget, the host periodically reminds everyone about the selfie competition. As a prize, you can give a funny award - a photo frame with a photo of Chuck Norris, because he is the coolest.

Best motto for my work

In this competition, let everyone feel like a famous PR person and come up with the best motto for their work. Each participant receives a piece of paper, a marker and 5 minutes of time. Whoever presents their work best and comes up with the best motto will receive their prize.

Childhood dream

Stop smoking even at corporate events

At the beginning of the evening, the host announces that there are tokens at the exit for smokers; those who go out to smoke must take one token for one cigarette, that is, if a guest went out to smoke, for example, 5 times, he will have 5 tokens, and then the host remains silent. So that everyone does not forget about such tokens, at the exit you can use a special inscription and red color to mark the place of the tokens and put an exclamation mark, for example. At the end of the evening, the host asks the guests to count their tokens and finds out who has collected the most tokens.

Competition for staff: detailed instructions with examples

In the end, it turns out that this competition is against smoking, and those who do not have tokens will receive prizes, and the one who has the most will have to fulfill a desire, for example, to dance a “gypsy girl” or sing a song into a microphone.

Team spirit

Guests are divided into several teams of 2-3 people. The presenter gives each team a puzzle with a small number of parts. You need to assemble a car (of various brands). Such puzzles are widespread in the modern puzzle market. At the leader’s command, the participants begin putting together their puzzles. Whoever completes the puzzle the fastest and correctly names the make of the car whose picture they put together, the members of that team receive prizes, for example, air fresheners in the car interior.

The question of how to increase an employee’s dedication without additional costs is always faced by a manager. In addition, in a crisis situation, non-material methods can, to a certain extent, compensate employees for material losses (reduced income). Each company creates its own non-material motivation program (based on the characteristics of the business, strategic goals and existing corporate culture), but the effectiveness of the program will be higher if the five rules are taken into account during the development.

1. The motivation program must solve tactical business problems while focusing on the company's strategy. The incentives used should be aimed at solving the most important problems at the moment. For example, when we created a branch network, the task was to form a team that could work in a single conceptual field, according to the standards adopted in the central office. We have developed a training program that includes training on team building and effective communications. And when we solved the problem of an innovative leap, a special program was developed to create a bank of innovative ideas, providing for appropriate competitions and incentives.

2. Non-financial motivation should cover all categories of employees. Typically, the emphasis is on manufacturing and commercial units that generate profits. However, non-financial incentives also need to be provided for accountants, secretaries and other back office employees. These may not be special motivational programs, as for sales specialists, but simply recognition of work results, praise, etc.

In a small company, when the manager knows every employee, it is quite easy to light a fire in the eyes of an employee. The task becomes more complicated if we are talking about a large company. In such a company, in order for employees to feel enthusiastic, it is necessary to maintain an individual approach to everyone's needs. This task falls on line managers who manage small departments of seven to ten people. They communicate closely with people and therefore know well what2 can stimulate everyone and how to help satisfy the subordinate's needs for respect and self-expression. That is why our company encourages line managers who involve their subordinates in developing decisions, working in project groups, and including them in the “Personnel Reserve” program.

3. Motivation should take into account the stage of development of the company. In a small family company, the main motivator is enthusiasm. Everyone already works with their sleeves rolled up, so a simple congratulations, praise from the manager, or an informal competition organized by him for the best employee will be excellent incentives. At the next stage of development, when there are more employees and some of the processes are formalized, motivational programs should also be focused on recognition of merit, but when developing programs it is necessary to provide for the possibility of collective recognition of employee successes (organize competitions, present winners, congratulate managers nominated for positions from number of company employees). To do this, you can use internal information resources, for example, corporate printed publications, the intranet.

4. Reasoned choice of motivators. We think that what motivates us will motivate others. However, it is not. Therefore, it is imperative to collect information about the true needs of employees. For example, it is important for employees in our production departments that the company reimburses food costs, and for employees in the sales department, it is important that they have the opportunity to participate in a mentoring program. At the same time, the process of selecting motivators should not be highly formalized: frequent surveys cause a negative reaction among employees. A list of specific needs, problems and ideas can be compiled by listening to department heads in regular meetings, while solving production problems, and simply during daily communication.

5. The effect of novelty. Rewards should not be allowed to become commonplace in a company, because there is nothing worse than the same motivational program repeated from year to year. For example, every six months it is worth coming up with a new award for the best employee, selected based on the results of each month.

Methods of non-material motivation

You can come up with an endless number of incentives suitable for different teams, departments and employees (see How else you can inspire employees). I will describe the current ones in our company.

Motivational meetings

Reporting meetings of branch directors are held quarterly at the central office. Their main goal is to analyze the activities for the previous quarter and approve new quarterly tasks. But also during meetings, we reward directors with certificates for completing targeted programs, winning quarterly competitions, and the branch recognized as the best is awarded a challenge blue banner with the company’s symbols. In addition, training is provided during meetings, both with the involvement of external providers and by our employees (commercial directors, technologists).

Internal competitions in the company

And, of course, a regional meeting is properly organized leisure time (for example, excursions).

Contests and competitions

We hold competitions both within departments and among specialists in different areas, as well as between branches. These competitions are designed primarily for sales managers. For example, we recently held a competition between managers on the volume of sales of flavoring additives. Employees of all commercial divisions participate in such competitions; the results and photograph of the best employee (or director of the best division), no matter where he is located - in Irkutsk or Nizhny Novgorod, are currently visible to all employees of the company. At the end of the competition, the unit may be rewarded with a trip to bowling, a trip to a boarding house, or simply a large corporate cake. We also hold creative competitions among our employees and their family members.

Congratulations on significant dates

It has become a good tradition in our company that the manager personally congratulates each employee on his birthday and celebrates his work achievements in the presence of colleagues. The atmosphere is both festive and spiritual. Congratulations from remote departments are received by email, because all employees see the photo of the birthday person on the corporate portal. The corporate newspaper “Vestnik” has a section that publishes congratulations from employees on marriages and the birth of a child; it is never empty, and sometimes takes up almost the entire last A3 page.

Discounts on services

The company cooperates with many suppliers and service providers (they are our clients and partners). Not long ago we began to negotiate discounts that they could provide to our employees. For example, a partner – an insurance company – gives our employees a 20% discount when taking out policies. We managed to negotiate discounts on travel packages with the travel company. At the same time, our company does not incur additional costs, and partners providing discounts receive good volumes of orders.

Communicating achievements

Encourage an employee for the results achieved, provide feedback to employees - all this is important to do in a timely and open manner. Our company has several information sources (intranet, printed publications “Vestnik” and “Bulletin of Success”) in which we publish information about achievements. For example, if we write about the results of a department, first of all we talk about the people who achieved these results. If we inform you about an exhibition, we be sure to name its participants.

Incentive travel

The company actively participates in exhibitions, most of which are held in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in major cities of Russia and the CIS countries. We delegate the best employees from the regions to work at these exhibitions, providing them with the opportunity to be the face of the company.

Peer ratings

A person can be motivated not only by the assessment (praise) of his immediate supervisor, but also by the assessments of other employees of the company. In the Bulletin we publish a letter of gratitude from an employee to a colleague. This is not necessarily a long text: sometimes it is a simple thank you for the cleanliness of the company, for quickly organizing a business trip, etc.

Help with family matters

We try to provide targeted assistance if, for example, one of our employees is trying to enroll a child in a kindergarten or a certain school. Line managers help keep abreast of everyday issues important to employees.

How else can you motivate employees?

1. Say hello to employees as you pass by and call them by name (learn their names if you haven't already).

2. Write “Thank you,” “Well done,” or something similar on a piece of paper and leave a note on his desk.

3. Reward employees with an extra day or half day off by allowing them to leave early.

4. In the hallway, lobby or dining room, hang graphs with the company's performance for each product, project and update the data weekly or monthly so that the dynamics are visible.

5. Find someone who knows how to juggle and ask him to teach all the employees.

After a stressful phone call or difficult task, juggling balls helps relieve stress.

6. Bring something delicious for all employees once a week or once a month: cake, bagels, pizza, apples, candy, nuts or popcorn.

7. Above each machine in production, hang signs with the name and position of the worker. People like to see their names and feel indispensable.

8. Make sure you have the opportunity to listen to employees, not just inform them.

9. Develop a reward specifically for those employees whose performance is usually overlooked.

10. Once a week or month, arrange meetings with several employees with whom you usually do not have the opportunity to communicate. Answer their questions, ask about problems.

11. Tell all employees about some fairly important issue and ask them to suggest solutions.
