B'day Celebration Suggestions

hey everyone....... i am responsible for organising the Bday celebration party at the end of every month my problem is that now its become very monotonous that i introduce everyone to the b'day people for thta month and then the cake is cut , everyone eats the cake and goes back to work. Wht i want is that there should be some activity involved because this is the only time the employees get together in a month. I request you to send me some suggestions which does not involve any cost and maximun half an hour to 45 min. Waiting in anticipation. PS- Its urgent as i have to conduct it yet again for the month of may and im short of ideas!!

Dear Manish,a Couple of suggestions that we tried out in my company: 1. We started also to introduce people who had joined or been transfererd in during that period. They have to give a brief introduction about themselves, their famly, hobbies etc. 2. We used to give flowers to the B'day people. 3. we then introduced that the flowers would be given by somebody other than the Head of the department to the B'day people, could even be the new joinee to the organisation. Hope you find this useful. Warm regards, Swapna Nair

Hi Manisha In one of my earlier organisations (a very large MNC) we used to have one or more employees, mostly the birthday boys or girls perform either a song or dance or a small skit etc. Basically this is an opportunity to present one's talent and may be very motivating for employees. In my present organisation, which a very small size (30 employees) and majority of the staff are below 25 yrs, we have a lot of fun activities, including games, some ragging etc., all of this initiated by employees themselves. This has resulted in a very stron bond being formed among them. Another suggestion could be to split the birthday celebrations within each department or division or group of say 20 - 30 staff. This way birthday celebration would be a more personal experience for those involved. Hope this is useful.

Hello Manisha Couple of Suggestions: 1. First introduce all the b'day boys & girls, Then cut the cake. 2. While having snacks, Organise for some team buliding games where every one in the company can get to know each other. 3. Arrange for some music, if people are interested they can dance & enjoy. 4.If your arranging for some games, You can give some small gifts for the winner that will motivate the employees to participate in the events. 5.Check out if company can provide any fund for it. if not check out from the employees if they can contribute some amount of Rs 50-100 as a contribution to the Kitty party. Later you can utilise that amount to get some gifts for them. Regards Sanchi
