How companies check in the Internet And why do employers manage this bad Management
About a quarter of companies ‘ corporate events are held only for a limited number of employees. This was reported by 21.3 percent of the respondents Kelly Services. In the comments respondents talked about the corporate parties only for Union members or for the bosses where employees are not invited. One Respondent wrote that in his company’s office party is for employees only retail, but not for office workers. The other is that the festival is arranged only for the management in the headquarters, but not for employees in the regions. And this causes resentment among the respondents.
There are psychological reasons for the resistance to corporate events, said the partner of the company ECOPSY consulting Maria Makarochkina. According to her, employees are Millennials do not want to attend a corporate party, because they have enough communication out of the office and in social networks. At work, they adhere to Western values – in the office we have to work and look for friends. Typical comment of the respondents-critics: “I don’t want to meet colleagues outside working hours”.
Salary is not a replacement
As it turned out, the corporate not too stimulate employees to work better. 61.7% of the respondents Kelly Services said that after a corporate party, their productivity does not change. Another 4.2% said that relations with colleagues and superiors after a holiday deteriorate (and performance decreases).

And most of all, according to OMI who do not believe in the beneficial effects of corporate productivity among the older respondents – in the age 45-54 years (37.2 per cent).
More than a third of the respondents Kelly Services (36.5 per cent) said that parties do not influence their attitude towards the employer because they do not compensate for gaps in HR policies: low wages, lack of benefits package for employees, inconvenient schedule, regular overtime, poor working conditions, etc.
Both the survey also showed that most employees would trade a corporate on something else. According to OMI, 69,4% of respondents full-time employment would prefer a prize, another 7.4 percent – shorter working hours or an extra day off, and 9.3% were satisfied would be a good gift.
good to remember
Sometimes events leave very pleasant memories, says Tatiana Trofimova, Director of personnel of the company “Water Novokurinskaya” in Yekaterinburg. She remembers partying at the same place of work. Employees from different, scattered throughout the Ural branches of the company gathered in Yekaterinburg and staged a play. Each unit was prepared in advance his part of the speech and people were sent to corporate as on tour, says Trofimova.
Corporate and tradition and duty, and pleasure, wrote to Respondent Kelly Services.

All those who are positive attitude towards tocorporativa, more than critics. According to the OMI survey, 54.6 percent of respondents with full-time employment completely or largely agree that the corporate events that inspire them to work better, while 14% of respondents would not change corporate for anything else.
Particularly, according to the OMI, a high proportion of those who would not change corporate anything else, among employees aged 35-44 years (17.2 per cent), least of all such among the youth of 18-24 years (10.4 percent).

In anticipation of the tale
the People look forward to parties because under the New year I want the feeling of a fairy tale, says Makarochkina. Family people, she continues, often spend new year’s eve with relatives, but a corporate event is an opportunity to celebrate with peers, make some noise, to dance, to discuss the results and relax after years of hard work.
And 19.5% of the respondents Kelly Services believe that the parties – not even the privilege and the obligation of the employer.
So despite the difficult times, arrange for the employees the Christmas holidays, while trying to change the format of the event, so it is not confined to dance and feast, says an independent event producer Vlad Metreveli. According to his observations, more and more companies are added to the Christmas program elements of team building, sum up the results and reward the best employees. And some companies have a joint output of the employees in the theater or combine a corporate event with a visit to the Museum exhibition, says Elena Kaminska, expert on HR Strategic Business Partners. According to her, such forms of corporate events are cheaper, and benefit from them more. These outputs staff can then recall the whole year, she says.

new year celebration will be only then useful, if the HR Director knows in advance the answer to the question, what is the purpose of the event, said Trofimova. The company needs to tell all the staff that she had good financial results? Or need to rally the team? For each objective requires its own action plan. Even the Seating has a value, said Trofimovand.
Should interview all employees to understand who has what achievements and who for what services you should reward, says Helen nekhaeva, Director of auditing and consulting company Insight. In her opinion, any encouragement and rewarding of employees at the Christmas party should be individualized.
