Are you ready? Celebrate your employee owners and the company&#8217;s success by hosting some of these fun company-wide events:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Volunteer for a Cause<br \/>\n<\/strong>Find a local service project that aligns with the company\u2019s values and spend a day volunteering. Group service is a great teambuilding exercise and provides an opportunity for employees to connect outside of a work setting. Note: Make sure to call the charity ahead of time to let them know the size of your group so they can accommodate your team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Host a Lunch &#8216;n Learn with a Leadership Speaker<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ask employees to vote on a topic they would like to learn about, but give them some ideas like retirement, health, and wellness or personal development. Hire an external speaker or create a panel of employees to talk about the topic most voted. Serve lunch and people are sure to show up hungry and eager to learn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create and Compete in an Old Fashioned Field Day<br \/>\n<\/strong>A little healthy competition never hurt anyone. Divide into teams and create reasonable obstacles and races to compete in. Everyone will enjoy the fresh <u>air<\/u> and the light competition is a great way for employees to blow off steam and bond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Throw a Theme Party<br \/>\n<\/strong>What better way to celebrate than with a party? Choose a theme like the &#8217;80s or Hollywood, and have everyone come into work dressed in costume. Business as usual in the morning, then take the afternoon off and throw a party; provide food, games, and maybe even host a costume contest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employee Ownership Month provides you with the perfect opportunity to promote employee ownership. Make it fun. Be sure to acknowledge and recognize the positive contributions of your employee owners.<\/p>\n<p>If you need more ideas, visit our website to view our Employee Ownership toolkit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nesteggcommunications.com\/\">www.nesteggcommunications.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is Employee Ownership Month.
