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. Give business image This competition will help you to get excited. It is best suited for men. Women in this case will act as spectators.
The most unusual and bright elements wardrobe: 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. A bunch of positive points makes 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 are seated at round table. Can be used playing cards and agree which one means 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 encrypted on the sheets and quickly line up in in the right 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.

The question of how to increase an employee’s dedication without additional costs is always faced by a manager. Besides, in 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 small company When the manager knows every employee, it is quite easy to light a fire in the employee’s eyes. The task becomes more difficult if we're talking about 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, 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 units are received by e-mail, 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. The best employees We delegate people from the regions to work at these exhibitions, providing 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. It's not obligatory long text: sometimes it’s 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 the employees is trying to place a child in kindergarten or a specific 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 telephone conversation or performing a 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.
