Looking for ways to enhance the productivity of your staff members? There’s one simple solution that might surprise you—take them to happy hour! This enjoyable social event benefits employees and business owners alike, even if they don’t partake in alcohol. Here’s how it helps.

Advantages for Employees

In addition to giving staff members something to look forward to at the end of the day, happy hour offers an opportunity for everyone to socialize outside the office. People can make new friends, which will make being at their jobs more enjoyable. The boundaries that might exist between a CEO and an assistant will be dissolved, making people more comfortable. Furthermore, because happy hour is usually held right after the workday ends, no one needs to go home and then come back out to participate.

Advantages for Companies

By scheduling time outside the office for the team to socialize, you’ll foster strong bonds as well as a sense of unity. This, in turn, translates into solid relationships across departments as well as enhanced communication. Employees are more likely to collaborate on projects and feel comfortable voicing ideas when they truly know the individuals they are working with. It’s also a morale booster. As the boss, you’ll demonstrate you care about the staff’s work-life balance as well as show interest in how they feel about their roles.
