Certain celebrations have long gone beyond home and family. Employers increasingly like to celebrate with employees and bring a warm, homely atmosphere into their companies. Proper relationships and team atmosphere can be better motivators for work than rewards and raises.
Therefore, more and more attention is paid to employees, offering joint breakfasts, allowing pets to be brought in, or delivering packages of healthy snacks to remote workers. Christmas Eve is a special time whose family atmosphere spreads to everyone, so it's good if the employer does not miss the opportunity to organize an interesting company event.
A boring office party with dishes from a first, thoughtless catering choice and an identical gift set for everyone in the form of company freebies is an unappealing prospect for employees. Under such circumstances, employees will come because it's expected, but no one will remember such a party. And all it takes is the idea of preparing Christmas Eve dishes together, decorating the Christmas tree, or drawing a person to whom you have to give a gift. The gift itself can be required to be something fun. Indeed, for smaller companies, renting a restaurant hall may not be economically viable, but in such circumstances, it's worth considering making the party family-friendly, which many people will surely appreciate.
Variety can also be added by organizing contests before the holidays that put people in a festive mood. During the company Christmas Eve party, the contest results can be announced and prizes awarded. For fun, a Christmas Eve dress code can also be established, e.g., a sweater with a snowman or reindeer and Christmas socks. What kind of company Christmas Eve party do employees dream about?

First of all, the company Christmas Eve party should not be part of work duties. It should be a pleasure, and to make that happen, care must be taken to ensure that the event is associated as little as possible with work. External circumstances will therefore be important. That is why employers often decide to rent venues or even go out of town. The latter option is most popular with employees because it involves a change of scenery, a nice hotel, good food, attractions, and relaxation.
However, to ensure the highest attendance, the date should be planned well in advance, and employees should have time to indicate which date suits them best. It is also good if employees have the opportunity to specify their preferences, both culinary and regarding the number of people in a hotel room, as well as the offered on-site attractions. As is known, having influence goes hand in hand with engagement and motivation to act. What places do employees prefer for a company Christmas Eve party?
Winter smelling of forest, bonfire, with a frosty sleigh ride and a warming sauna or jacuzzi at your disposal is a dream for many of us. Add to that the 12 Christmas Eve dishes, which require no work from us, and it almost creates a perfect state. Add a beautiful, fragrant Christmas tree, chats or social games by the fireplace. Masuria is a part of our country where Christmas traditions are especially cared for, which is also offered by local hotels. It may not be the time when the famous lakes attract us the most in that direction, but Masuria is not just about the water.
Hotel St.Bruno is located in the very center of Masuria, in Giżycko. It is situated on the Łuczański Canal and offers not only comfortable rooms and a spa area, but also a conference and banquet hall or restaurant room intended specifically for company events. Everything is set in a magical, castle-like atmosphere accompanied by exceptional regional cuisine. Evenings spent playing billiards, foosball or ping pong are the best way to relax for some, while others prefer a relaxing full-body or foot massage in the spa area, which Hotel St.Bruno offers much more of. A company Christmas Eve party in such an atmosphere is a way to integrate people who do not normally have much contact as well as to forge closer relationships at work. It is also undoubtedly a way to get the right dose of relaxation just before the family Christmas Eve, which will require a bit more effort from us.
