Corporate events are quickly becoming more and more popular throughout corporate America, but why? Many business owners are choosing corporate events to build morale and camaraderie between their employees, rather than getting to know each other during a short period of time either during lunch or at the water cooler, owners are deciding that corporate event is the best way to build work spirit. Many employers have found that the more effort they put into getting to know their employees via corporate and other event, their employees tend to stay long and they say a decrease in turnover rates. In addition to building employees spirit and decreasing turnover rates, business owners are opting for corporate events to meet people from their industry and potentially grow their business. Corporate events are now the place to collaborate with other companies toward finding a common goal and solutions to get there.
Here are five reasons wine tasting should be your choice for your next corporate event
- Team Building: Wine has a special way of making people feel more comfortable around each other. Whether your employees have sat side-by-side for years or someone new has just joined the staff, sharing glasses of wine during a wine tasting event can bring a closeness and camaraderie unlike anything else. People who work in different departments and might not otherwise ever speak to each other might build a relationship over a glass of wine in both a professional and friendly way, improving the spirit throughout your company.
- Saying Thanks: We live in such a fast paced world that we forget to take the time to thank those around us who have helped us reach our goals and get where we want to be. A wine tasting event can be used to show appreciation to not only your staff but also your clients. What says thank you better than tasting different wines from around the world during a fun evening at a private wine tasting event?
- Educational Experience: Wine tasting is an opportunity for everyone to expand upon their knowledge of different grapes, vineyards, varieties, and wine types. This private corporate event will not only help build team spirit, but also educate everyone as well. In addition to learning more about the different types and flavors of wine, you will also learn about the different locations that the grapes are harvested from. Your educational wine tasting event will be the highlight for years to come as everyone walks away with a new appreciation and knowledge of fine wine.
- Brainstorming Sessions: Instead of having all your meetings in the office, around a table, and early in the morning, why not host a wine tasting event to get a different change of location and different brainstorming ideas? Sometimes in a formal setting, employees may feel more closed off in sharing their ideas; however, with a glass of wine, different change in location and scenery, and a more relaxed environment, they may feel that their ideas may be shared more freely and openly.
- Celebrate Success: What better way is there than to celebrate a company-wide success than with multiple wines to taste throughout a big wine tasting event? You can take the time to address the goals that you had and celebrate the fact that all your goals for the company have been successfully accomplished.
