As Christmas approaches, many leaders and HR professionals start planning year-end team building—to wrap up the year well and boost team spirit. But a holiday team-building event has its own set of challenges. Without a professional approach, it can add stress instead of joy.
Gergő Bárány, Head of Events, shares tips to help you navigate the season so your Christmas team building becomes a genuine, energising break for everyone.
1. Keep the programme—and the schedule—flexible
The year’s end is busy for everyone. Calendar clashes are almost guaranteed, with people balancing holiday prep and work deadlines. Forgotten gifts, family visits, the hunt for the perfect tree—sound familiar?
Let the participants help pick the time. Offering flexible options makes it easier for everyone to join. An online game, like Operation: Rescue Santa, works perfectly: no travel needed, just log in from home or the office, and the experience is as real as if you were all in the same room.
2. Beat end-of-year fatigue
3. Use a strong narrative to melt away stress
Make your holiday team building one to remember
Want a Christmas event that energises your team instead of draining it? Let’s design a game-driven celebration that makes everyone leave smiling—and talking about it well into the new year.
