Corporate News And Events Strategies

In my last job, corporate events were nothing that anyone looked forward to. Basically, the boss would take us all out for drinks and dinner, which was pleasant. Pleasant, that is, until he got filthy drunk. Then he would proceed to make a fool out of himself, insult people, and in general make a scene. The first time this happened it was pretty funny, until we got in to work the next day. Because of the fact that the corporate event was an embarrassment for the boss, he took it out on the rest of us for weeks! It may seem strange, but for the next month he was unbearable. Rather than just admitting that he was wrong and that he made a fool of himself, he used that corporate business event as an excuse to be extremely difficult to deal with for the next month.

That is why, when I was put in charge of organizing a company sponsored event, I took it as an opportunity to do things better than how my last boss had done them. I knew that I could set up the perfect corporate events, but I wanted to make sure that I designed an outing that catered to a wide variety of tastes. I started a poll, asking my various coworkers, higher ups, and lower downs, what corporate event would appeal to them most. I got a wider variety of suggestions for various corporate events. Some people thought it would be nice to take a scenic corporate cruise on the bay around sunset. Other people wanted to all go out to a concert together. I even had one guy who said that we should all go play laser tag or paintball! With all of these suggestions, it was hard to make up my mind and select the perfect event, but I think I managed.

You see, I wasn't planning for one of those corporate events that is all meetings, but my boss talked to me and said that he did want to have an opportunity to talk business. With that in mind, I opted for the cruise. It would give us plenty of time to discuss corporate matters as we had rented out the whole boat for ourselves, But it would also let us loosen up and enjoy each other's company. All in all, it seemed like the perfect compromise, combining a dinner party and a chance to get away from it all.
