Corporate events still often remind many of us of a glass of alcohol, a loosened tie, smudged makeup. However, today's employee events can reach creative heights, mainly thanks to the organizers of such events, but also bosses open to unconventional ideas for corporate parties. Both hotels and various event companies compete in ideas on how to integrate the team, ignite creativity, motivation, or provide a solid dose of energy in perhaps monotonous work.
Corporate trips with a stock of alcohol are a thing of the past. In the past, conferences or integration trips and training events made adults behave like youth on a school trip, which could only be considered successful if they consumed liters of alcoholic beverages. Now, the excitement comes from the event setting, where employees act as spying agents solving puzzles. The military-themed setting, especially appealing to men, provides tanks, weapons, and tactical tasks. The corporate event is supposed to offer rich attractions but also be well thought out to bring many benefits to both employees and the company.
It is primarily a reward for hard work and a way to build bonds, engagement, and loyalty. Sometimes it's about integrating one department or several departments with each other, and sometimes it's about team building. In such cases, scenarios based on team games, the necessity of cooperation or competition, division into roles that open the possibility for each person to discover their strengths and weaknesses, are very good solutions. In this way, the task desired by employers is fulfilled, but all this takes place in a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere of fun.
It is said that in some companies people particularly want to work because of a rich social offering and grandly organized events. Whether this is good or not, we do not decide, but it undoubtedly shows employees' demand for such gestures from their employer, proving that they care and think about people, not only profits. Some events are even combined with awards in the form of foreign trips. These are probably events accompanied by media publicity, i.e., simply advertising for the company, but this does not change the fact that participation in them is very motivating and exciting for employees.
Not only do such events involve creating teams that cooperate, but they also provide rewards in the form of joint team trips. What could unify people more than a shared cause, adventure, and memories? Of course, such a reward is rare, but with proper creativity, the winning team in a competition can be rewarded in other ways. There are plenty of options on the market, so the idea for a corporate event depends mainly on the willingness and budget allocated for such attractions in the company.

Choosing a venue for the event often sets the dominant theme of the event, which is good because it allows you to get to know the place and feel its atmosphere. At the Hotel ST. Bruno in Giżycko, you can expect comprehensive organization of corporate events, and when in Masuria, they must be set amid lakes. The Corporate Sailing Cup is a unique event in the form of yacht regattas. The hotel provides full equipment, from sailboats, motorboats, off-road vehicles, to access to the SPA area or nightclub. Relaxation and rich attractions in one. Since the hotel has its own port, organizing practically any water event is not a problem, even on a ship accommodating 140 people. Catering and professional, experienced staff in such events are always available. However, the attractions at Hotel St. Bruno are not just lakes. You can rent bicycles and go on a trip or explore the 14th-century castle with a guide. Guests also enjoy relaxing with games like boules, billiards, or bowling. Clearly, every corporate event can offer versatile attractions, and everyone can find something suitable for themselves.
After team competitions, puzzles, or a whole day on the water, for many, an excellent way to relax in the evening is a moment in the SPA with treatments and high-quality cosmetics. One might even wonder if a day is enough for all these attractions, but at least we know that alcohol is simply a waste of time and energy there, which can be much better spent.
