Ditch the Donuts to Level-Up Your Workplace Celebrations

Rethinking Employee Appreciation

• Splash Co-Founder Ben Hindman shares how he has incorporated meaningful celebration into company culture.

• This March, Laugh.Events is offering unique opportunities to level up company-wide celebrations for Employee Appreciation Month with corporate comedy shows.

Post-milestone donuts and celebratory Slack emojis just aren’t cutting it anymore. 

Employees deserve meaningful celebrations for both their achievements and day-to-day efforts that extend beyond snacks and Slacks.

In a webinar we hosted this past November, Ben Hindman, Co-Founder of Splash event marketing software, shared how he prioritizes routine celebration. “If you're looking for ways to improve your culture, focus on what you're celebrating. Anytime that there's an opportunity to celebrate people, ask, how can we make that more fun? How can we make it more meaningful for that person? How can we celebrate the end outcome, but also the work that got us there?” said Hindman. 

As Employee Appreciation Month approaches, you’re probably planning how to best celebrate your team. Ben recommends gatherings, constant communication, and leveled-up celebration methods as pillars for great company culture. “Turn [celebration] into a story that people actually remember and really work for the next time,” said Hindman. It’s not just about celebrating, but rather how we celebrate.
