Why throw a company summer party? 🎉
Summer is here again, and its refreshing warmth makes it the best season for parties. If you have a remote team, throwing a virtual summer work party is a great idea.
With Q3 being a little slower (well, at least not Q4 fast) summer's a great time for a corporate party at your organization. But why else throw one in the first place? We'll tell you:
- It's the perfect way for your company to engage employees in one place regardless of how globally distributed the team is
- Virtual summer parties promote healthy, friendly competition among team members
- Parties help coworkers bond, kill boredom, and improve their communication skills
- Summer office parties make employees happy, and happy employees stay motivated
