Family Day Celebration to Leverage Employee Morale & Loyalty
When your employees tend to ‘Believe’ in the brand, they function seamlessly, whereas when their families ‘Trust’ the brand they tend to stick to the organization just like family. Let’s understand the importance of bringing together the families of one’s employees, to witness the brand futuristic vision to soar high, by providing collaborative growth opportunities.
The Big Idea
Build Brand Connect & Loyalty
As organizations find new ways to keep their employees engaged and entertained like sports clubs, team outbound, in-office engagement, etc, many firms have initiated ‘family day’ for their employees. This type of event blends in fun, family, and work, by breaking barriers between them. However, there are a limited number of companies that organize a family day for their employees. Besides, there are even fewer companies that understand the benefits of organizing one.
When a company hosts a family day celebration for its valued employees, it speaks volumes about ‘you’ as an employer and as a brand. Providing your employees with an amazing opportunity to create new memories demonstrates that you value their personal relationships as well.
A strong indicator that an employer supports their workforce’s emotional well-being is prominent in today’s global work lifestyle. This encourages your employees to work with you & stick to the brand for longer terms. Your brand is perceived as a caring business, as you are supporting them in caring for their family.
The Problem
A Much Needed Break with one’s Family
One of India’s Largest Automobile Manufacturers wanted to reduce the burnout & stress levels of their employees. Many employees faced issues to strike a perfect work-life balance. Corporate employees require a break to energize themselves, amidst the entire financial year’s statements, closures, deadlines, etc.
The performance graph of the employees droops. This automobile manufacturer has always wanted to influence its potential market by valuing its employees and spending on them to build a relationship to create a word-of-mouth sensation. Hence, proper motivation is needed to make them feel united again.
By providing an opportunity for your employee’s families to bond together, you are creating a closely-knit community, which is important in strengthening a business. It is during such times, that the organization faces the maximum number of absenteeism. This custom created by the brand has set a benchmark for itself, which has to be spanned every year. Thus, every employer is reminded to understand this trend of a weary workforce, who does not desire another weekend but a break from this work cycle.
The Solution
Extravagant Engagement Zones & Family Day Celebration
