With Valentine’s Day coinciding with a workday this year, ensuring the celebration isn’t overlooked is important. Whether you’re an employee or employer, here are six ideas to consider:
- Organize a team lunch: Encourage colleagues to bring dishes representing their cultural backgrounds or favourite cuisines for a diverse and enjoyable meal.
- Exchange Valentine’s Day cards or gifts: Foster a positive work environment by having employees write heartfelt messages to each other, expressing appreciation and gratitude.
- Arrange a team-building activity: A Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt around the office can promote collaboration and excitement as employees work together to solve clues and find hidden surprises.
- Set up a temporary photo booth: Create a corner in the office with props and decorations for colleagues to take memorable Valentine’s Day photos during their breaks, fostering lasting memories.
- Participate in a charity drive: organize a donation collection or volunteer activity to give back to the community, strengthening bonds among colleagues while making a positive impact.
- Host an after-work hangout: Take the celebration outside the office for some relaxation and bonding, providing an opportunity for coworkers to connect on a personal level away from work-related stress.
