A Corporate Family Day improves the Work-Life Balance

events

We have a rather busy community calendar with family day, sports events, annual picnic and many other activities. A Corporate Family Day improves the Work-Life Balance and helps establish more deep and “true” interpersonal relationships. In this way, it is beneficial both for the company and for the individual and his family. What are the advantages of a well organized Corporate Family Day? We found at least 5 of them!

The Corporate Family Day is a beautiful social occasion where colleagues will get to know each other better than in the everyday office routine. To meet each other’s families will be a mean to make new friendships and deepen the ones that already exist, creating “horizontal” connections that will spread to all the family unit. And meeting colleagues outside the office will be good for our Work-Life Balance!

The office is the place where we spend the greatest part of our life. From Monday to Friday, from morning till evening, our days pass here among desks and colleagues. Who thus become a second family to us. Especially if we manage to connect, at least for just one day, our real life family with the corporate one.

Sometimes, even the best working environment arouses in us a sensation of stress and annoyance. Let’s try solving this problem by living the company, even for only one day, in a different way! To put a photography of our children on the desk isn’t enough; but if the kids themselves will pay a visit to our working environment, the memory of our presence will help us to overtake everyday stress.

In the office there’s a manager and his employees; but when children come in, everybody become just enthusiast mothers and fathers. Meeting our chief’s family will let us abolish for a while corporate hierarchies without canceling them, to enter a more relaxed working environment. It may seem trivial, but seeing the manager’s humanity will let employees experience the office with less anxiety.

A Corporate Family Day is also a festive occasion to celebrate the results reached by the company during the year. That’s why we should provide a convivial moment to put together at the table all the members of the different corporate teams.

In conclusion, the Family Day is an occasion of “natural” team building naturale that will strengthen team spirit. Team members will celebrate together and try creative activities. By this mean they will become able of interacting in different and more efficient ways than before. Everybody will find the occasion to prove his/her best abilities, leadership qualities that are too often hidden. The company will become a kind of big family where everyone has a specific role, but where everybody works for a common goal with joy and positivity. To try this emotion once will be the first step towards the creation of a better working environment for all the rest of the year!
