A growing trend with employers and managers is to invite their team out for happy hour. In addition to boosting overall morale, this practice provides many benefits for the workplace environment and business organization. Here are a few ways you can create a better work culture by arranging casual pau hanas.

Why You Should Take Your Staff to Happy Hour

1. Get to Know Each Other

Getting together outside of the office and chatting over cocktails and pupus allows everyone to discover each other’s personalities, quirks, talents, and interests. As you learn more about the team, you may recognize untapped talents in your employees, which you can nurture to help them succeed and work more efficiently. As they learn more about you, your employees will gain a better understanding of your management style and personality, allowing them to better meet your expectations.

2. Build Stronger Relationships

Your connection with your employees and their relationships with each other will strengthen through sharing enjoyable experiences, like an out-of-office pau hana. Bonding will help your employees feel more comfortable with each other. This camaraderie will encourage people to ask for help at work because they know they’ll be supported and understood. Additionally, a close team is more likely to pitch in and help if someone is overwhelmed with tight deadlines.

3. Improve Communication

Unfortunately, this means that your soft-spoken employees will be reluctant to share ideas or offer their insights. However, bringing the team together for happy hour will encourage camaraderie and help shy employees come out of their shells. As a result, they’ll feel more comfortable speaking up at work.
