Birthday Celebrations In Offices

Hiiii,
I would like to know how you celebrate birthdays of employees in your organisations. In our office, we all get together & sing for the person & present him/her with a bouquet. But this has become quite boring now as most of them are just lip-synching!! Please suggest some other ideas of celebrating birthdays, we are 40 of us in the office.

Involve them with innovative activities..team building games, let them share jokes, ask them to initiate with some topics, majority of the people have inherent talents like songs, dance, mimicry,etc take charge, make them participate. Make it more exciting, employees would love it. Initially it is tough, prepare them for this gathering every week, and come out with a bang one day...try this

Add in a Lovely Cake with the flowers. or replace the Flowers with a Yummy Cake.
Keep Greeting cards and flowers on the desk of the Birthday Girl/boy before they reach office.
well change the trick every time and let the suspense exist.

hi
instead of flowers u can give greeting card
pass the card in whole office so that every one will write his/her wish on the card for bday guy/gal and then present card to that person
this will b lively greeting for bday person

Hi ,
Ensure that the card has been signed by all the employees in the previous day itself, let any member of the HR team interact for atleast 02 minutes & give the card to him on the respective day. And at every month you can specify the last friday of the month, at evening time, you can arrange the cake, where, who and all are celebrating the birthday in the respective month can cut their cake in the presence of all the employees are atleast their respective team members.

Card is a Good Idea,,
Let the card be a big one,,,So that it can accomodate all signatures,,,
Start the signature with their family members,,
U can suprise them by bringing any of their family members while cutting the cake,,,

Hi,

For Midsize companies say if employee strength is around 100 - 300 employees, Birthday celebration events can be well organised by gathering all the employees in cafeteria or conference room..You can plan Birthday celebration say first friday every month or as per convenience can plan at month end etc. 3-4 Big cakes can be arranged & Those employees you have birthdays coming up that particular month, their names can be called upon & can be made to cut these cakes together with all other employees singing the birthday song. This birthday celebration can also be clubbed with other events like Rewarding loyalty bands or any other reward like star of the month etc.:idea:
