How Events Help Drive Your Company Culture & A Better Work Environment

“Company culture” is easy to throw around these days, but what does it entail? Does it begin and end within the confines of the workplace? Put simply, it’s about “how things get done” at the workplace. It’s the experience employees and customers go through via formal and informal systems of behaviour and values. The challenge is ensuring you’re implementing (and rewarding) the right behaviours and values while fostering and strengthening company team spirit.

Company events are a great way of transmitting the company culture you’re going for. Still, one thing many companies do is forget the reason for such events. Losing focus of the “why” by solely looking at the “how” means that, by the end of the event, the company culture will be stuck where it was before the start, or worse, frowned upon by the employees.

So, here’s how to do things the right way to get people engaged with your company culture!

Diversity to generate interest

Your team is composed of different and diverse people. So, to ensure everyone’s marching to a similar beat, organising various events is key to ensuring they’re all engaged. In addition, having company events outside the workplace helps create stronger bonds between employees, creating a better workplace environment during working hours. The upside to all that is that it makes a company culture where enjoying time spent with colleagues is just a part of working there and not just a one-off treat.

You want your team to function and work as a complete unit. The best way to reach that status is to create an environment and experiences that are relevant to them. This leads to a company culture that not only entices the best possible candidates to join your organisation but also helps retain them.

Which events and why?

Sometimes, the best option is to throw your team a curveball-kind-of event that they might not be used to. Finding different ways of bringing people together can inspire trust and friendship. If done within a company context but outside of workplace walls, your employees will see their colleagues in a different light.

Continuity is key

Continuity is key to ensuring the company culture is correctly transmitted to your employees and, more importantly, understood. By this, we mean a succession of successful events that entice those who attend to keep attending while also encouraging those who missed out last time to do their best to be available for the next one.

Part of generating this feeling is that management is more than just present for the events. They also need to be part of the driving force behind them, especially since people respond far better to those who lead by example rather than by orders. And if the example means everyone gets to have a good time, then it’s a win-win for all involved.
