Employees need real contact more than ever. In this day and age, working from home and digital communication are often the norm, so it is essential to meet and connect physically as well.
Many companies realise this and are increasingly investing in events to strengthen the bond between colleagues and increase work happiness. Whether you call it a training day, team building, incentive, or a company party, it always contributes to a better connection.
‘We have been seeing this trend for some time,’ says Bart Koninckx, CEO of To The Point Events. ‘Connected employees are happier, and they also perform better. That’s why we put enormous effort into connection and movement. With our experience, we unburden our clients by creating a tailor-made programme. A programme that matches the organisation’s identity and needs.’
Chief Happiness Officer, Anouck Ponsard, adds: ‘Whatever the reason, we find that companies increasingly want to bring their employees together. This ranges from boosting sales, celebrating successes to an anniversary. We also regularly get requests for a combination of training and fun, as well as organising meetings between customers and the team.’
How do you approach this?
Every successful event starts with a strong kick-off. Together with you, they clearly map out your company’s objectives. Then, together they take the next step: choosing the ideal venue, arranging the catering and creating the right mix between content and entertainment. Both for a small-scale event and a large-scale gathering of hundreds or even thousands of guests.
Their strength lies in customisation for complex and large-scale events, with attention to every detail. They design thoughtful programmes that both focus on content and ensure optimal interaction between participants.
They understand the pressure to justify this investment. That is why they focus on measurable results, beyond the fun experience. Mindful of rising costs and the need to realise returns, they naturally ensure an event that is a success in experience, but also in ROI and ROO. This proactive approach and carefully selected formats ensure that your event stays within budget, but also delivers maximum value in both time and impact.
