Each Day listed below, can be the spring board to a fun employee celebration. This is a great time for a picnic, Popsicles at work, or some outdoor activity. These team building events are so important. Make sure to plan ahead AND announce the event so that your team has something to look forward to and can participate.
May is the beginning of several team building events. If you would like to try something unique, you can try a MUDDER RUN, imagine your entire team wading through mud and helping each other over obstacles. You may not even recognize them at first glance. It’s silly, it’s fun, and the money raised goes to a good cause.
International Museum Day is a perfect excuse for an educational off-site. Most museums have cafes and places to relax and let the world go by. It’s even more fun to arrange for a docent tour at a museum in your area.
May 10 is Clean up your Room Day, but it could be easily converted to “Clean up your Cubicle Day!” and this could be a nice, clean way to head into summer.
Celebrate Memorial Day, remember our community heroes, our Active Duty Military, Veterans, Police, 911 operators, Fire Fighters – our lives are better because of them. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT Memorial Day (link) which is Monday May 30, 2016 this year.
