AP9 BusinessMax Offers Tips for Five Cool Summer Company Outings
AP9 Business Max gives the word on keeping company morale high.
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) May 16, 2007
Once spring fever hit the workforce last month, AP9 BusinessMax (http://www. businessmax-program. com/) immediately began crafting ideas and suggestions for company summer outings. AP9 Business Max is a leading membership discount program offering members savings on everything from office supplies and services to professional development. And part of cultivating that professionalism is realizing that an "all work and no play" mantra cannot only wear on the individual employee's psyche, it can also be potentially harmful to overall company morale.
We've all heard it thousands of times, "Work is work. That's why we get paid to go there." While this is certainly true, think about how much time the average full-time employee spends at work.
That's where the "play" part of the "all work and no play" axiom becomes relevant. Plain and simple, a well-run workforce needs to take some time away from the office environs -- to refuel, bond and take a collective break from the grind. Here are a few suggestions from AP9 BusinessMax (http://www. businessmax-program. com/BusinessMax_qanda. html) geared towards fostering that mindset -- ideas for company outings that will send the troops back to work refreshed and raring to go:
-- Hit the links. While some employees may take the game of golf too seriously, others may simply enjoy the open air and a chance to be away from their office cubicles. When organizing a company golf outing, make a concerted effort to create foursomes that will generally get along. Too much competition could mar the potentially "laid back" nature of the company event.
-- Start a snipe hunt. Once a company offsite location has been determined, why have a plain ol' scavenger hunt … when a snipe hunt (e. g., a futile search for something that does not actually exist) might be far more entertaining? Don't let the ruse last too long, but a good practical joke may provide just the ice-breaker employees need to kick back and laugh at themselves.
-- Tour the briny. As long as Dramamine is made available to all those who want and need it, a boat cruise might be just the thing for a hard-working corporate team. Let employees know their value by treating them to a playday on the water.
-- Take it to the alley. No, this is NOT meant to goad the corporate team into choosing up sides and launching an all-out melee. Instead, AP9 Business Max suggests renting out a bowling alley and spending the day at the lanes. Most people have been bowling at least once, and with the convenience of automated scoring systems, employees can relax and have fun.
Having access to these handy workforce tips is just one aspect of what AP9 BusinessMax can provide. For all those little things that give businesses a decided edge and keep employees happy in their work, the name to remember is AP9 Business Max.
