„Companies no longer approach corporate parties as a social obligation. Employers want to provide their teams with a real experience that pulls them out of their daily routine, allows them to share emotions and experiences outside of a work context", says Tereza Reitschlägerová, event manager at Pilsner Urquell: The Original Beer Experience in Prague.
Quality team buildings and Christmas parties have tangible benefits for companies, and investments in joint events pay off. They have the potential to improve mutual communication, strengthen employee loyalty, reduce stress and tension in the company, and contribute to employee retention overall. However, the program needs to be well thought out and planned. The emotions and experiences that employees take away are proving to be key.
Christmas party? It’s the best time to start planning
Organizing a quality corporate party can be challenging and requires several months of preparation. For this reason, companies and HR managers often prefer to leave all the organization to event agencies. „At Pilsner Urquell: The Original Beer Experience, we strive to make the work as easy as possible for companies and offer services from A to Z. We are happy to provide complete catering, quality technical support, and a program that entertains and connects. We take care of the entire event and tailor it to each team,” Tereza Reitschlägerová adds.
When planning parties, it’s also good to consider that the demand for popular dates increases every year. Although it is still summer, Christmas dates fill up quickly in popular locations, and it is the best time to reserve your date in advance. Due to the high demand for pre-Christmas dates and the general hustle and bustle associated with the end of the year, some companies choose to hold their parties at different times, often deciding to organize these events after the new year or during the autumn months.
Parties with a story
Corporate events that offer employees an unconventional program they won’t easily forget are becoming increasingly popular. Formats that combine formal and informal functions are also favored. Pilsner Urquell: The Original Beer Experience offers more than just a beautiful setting in the center of Prague. „We offer companies and their employees more unique experiences that combine entertainment, culture, gastronomy, and history into one whole,” describes Tereza Reitschlägerová. „Our spaces can be used for the official part of the program – for example, training, workshops, or presentations of company values and goals that help employees better understand the strategy and company culture – as well as for the informal part of the program full of fun and experiences. One of the most popular shared experiences is, for example, a pouring school,“ adds the event manager.
In addition to the pouring school, an interactive exhibition tour or beer pairing during a tasting dinner with a beer sommelier is also a great choice – this can be held either as a festive experience or in a more relaxed buffet version for more people. Whether the company opts for a classic Christmas party or organizes a celebration at any time of the year, it is important to plan everything well. Therefore, book your date as early as possible and give your team an experience that will be complemented by honest beer and a great atmosphere!
