Showing appreciation to a hard-working staff is a must. That’s why many workplaces hold office happy hours, which not only shows appreciation but also gives employees the opportunity to bond with each other. Many happy hours are held at a local pizza joint or sports bar. Here are a few tips to ensure your gathering is a success. 

4 Steps to Planning a Workplace Happy Hour

1. Make the Event Optional 

Some people may not be able to attend due to family obligations, while others may have previously scheduled activities on their calendars. Be flexible, but strongly encourage attendance to promote bonding. 

2. Provide Plenty of Options

Keep your non-drinking staff in mind. Make sure there are alternatives to alcohol, such as water, juice, soft drinks, and other beverages. Food should also be served to attendees, particularly when serving alcohol. 

3. Keep It Casual

4. Time the Event Correctly

You’ll likely have a smaller crowd if you plan the event in the midst of a big project or when a deadline is looming. Instead, schedule happy hour the Friday after project completion so your employees can celebrate their achievements. Happy hours are also perfect before a big holiday. Not only will the staff be able to spend time together before taking time off, but everyone can celebrate the upcoming holiday.
