Encourage your employees to decorate their work desks with flags, buntings and pennants to create a perfect milieu. The break room decor can include red, white and blue themed table covers artwork, balloons etc. If you are hoisting a flag in front of the office, make sure that it is flying at half staff till noon as a mark of respect to the fallen soldiers who have made their ultimate sacrifice.
A photo collage or a display in the office to show your support for the troops is another idea worth considering. Red poppy flower displays or Memorial Day poster print outs will all enhance the brilliance of your display.
Plan an office party with a difference!
Parties need not always be all about food and banter! It can be fun and games as well. Draw out a list of office party games and team building activities that will enhance the bonding between the team members. Give away prizes for the winners and even better – for everyone who participated! Your team will enjoy the party experience and get some workout in the process.
Grilling out at lunch is another interesting idea.
