Make this year’s Christmas party a memorable one for all employees
For many companies, the year-end function is a long standing tradition, and employees are at the core of these functions as these events are for them.
POLOKWANE – For many companies, the year-end function is a long standing tradition, and employees are at the core of these functions as these events are for them.
Victoria Stander, the marketing manager of Fusion Boutique Hotel says the number one mistake that companies make is not taking their employees into consideration. “Companies need to take their employees’ age groups, genders, ethnicity and religions into consideration.
“The younger generation will prefer something different to the older. It is important to include the entire company in the planning process and perhaps have the employees cast a vote on what they would like to do.
“A major trend at the moment is themed year-end functions. Create a memorable theme that can be taken through to the food, décor, gifts and entertainment. It is important to make sure it is a theme that fits the purpose of the event and find a predominant key message which ties in with the company’s ethos or message. Vintage and retro themes are currently the most popular themes as clients are being inspired by recent movies such as The Great Gatsby.”
According to Stander, selecting a venue that is central and easily accessible by all employees is a must. Other requirements are the venue’s capability to pull off the theme, catering options and to take budget constraints into consideration.
“Fusion Boutique Hotel offers guests not only a picturesque venue which is flexible to all themes, but we offer outstanding service and delectable cuisine too. When it comes to working with a budget, Fusion Boutique Hotel’s banqueting manager, Elsabe Steyl will go out of her way to provide you with a quotation that is within your budget and a function which still offers guests all the bells and whistles they desire.
“The sky is the limit with the wide variety of venues, décor, cuisine and wine offered here. The dedicated and professional banqueting team is committed to making your year-end function everything you have dreamed and so much more. If you can dream it, we can create it,” says Stander.
