Suggestions For Employee Welfare Activities !

Hello HR Folks,
I have a query regarding Employee Welfare. I want to initiate an employee welfare activity where I can increase Team Bonding and employee should not feel Injustice. We cannot initiate Employee of the month or such awards as employees performs in similar fashion in our company. We already have Mediclaim and other such perks which we give, But I want to have a stress buster and team bonding welfare activity.
(Subject to Budget alloted to us.)
Suggestions please !!!

S.A.Shah

Shah, am sorry i dont have a solution for you this is because am in thesame situation as you.
suggestion please.......

Dear Shah,
You still have an allotted budget. I am now facing the challenge of institutionalizing a welfare policy for which the budget is zero and should be done only after the working hours. I have already initiated and am starting with the conducting of friendly games and sports and the winners would be just appreciated.
It is still in the policy mode and am hoping for certain action to take place.
well, in the case you mentioned my suggestions would be:
* 1 minute games filled with fun (Who wears d Saree n a min..fr gents..; vegetable cutting game etc)
* Songs competition wherein the participants shpuld be able to sing a song using given words.
* Spot question event ( Who has his wife's pic in his wallet? Who has got max piercings on her body..?..kinda...)
and the like.....:)
Hope this could be of some use to u guys.

Dear all,
I think in present scenario you should go for a platform that will provide them an opportunity to express themselves and communicate openly with other team members in an informal environment thereby making their rapport more strong and comfortable.I think you should arrange for some informal family get together of team members.hope it helps.

Sony & Laxmee suggestions are superb expecialy the the spot question, that will be alot of fun during the informal getogether that Laxmee suggested.
you could also call the gathering "lets bond day", before then a list of activites should sent to all and require them to give suggestions as well.
you can also have funky awards, like who wears it better AKA the best dressed male or female, most elible bachelor etc.

Dear All,

To attain the desired goal & retain the best, following few re-recreational activities can be initiated:

(i) To conduct regular Health & Medical Checkup camp
