There is no question that in-person events have tremendous value on both the organization hosting and participants attending.  However, during trying times like these, recognizing employees, celebrating work milestones and bringing clients and corporate teams together is more important than ever. Which begs the question: has your corporation started thinking about hosting a virtual event, online celebration or zoom party?

Virtual events remove health and safety risks while letting you engage audiences around the world. Regardless of your budget or celebration size, recognizing and rewarding virtually should be part of your 2020 and 2021 business strategy.  According to Market Research Media, the virtual event market is expected to grow from $14 billion to $18 billion by the year 2023.

Regardless of your corporate set up, the fact is most employees will be working remotely until at least 2021. Companies need to get on board with virtual celebrations to help boost company morale and create a culture of connection and engagement.

Celebrations are proven to lead to a boost in positive feelings about the company from an employees’ perspective. Company events can mean the difference between engaged, happy employees and people who feel like they are just a part of the corporate machine, going through the motions day after day. The feeling of appreciation applies to all generations regardless of age or title and helps employees improve their attitudes about the job.

The “big” work-related things are easy to celebrate — gaining a new client, completion of a huge contract, a product release or work anniversary – it is the culmination of a long collaboration, and exciting milestone that was coming due. It’s very natural to take time out to mark the significance of the occasion. But the smaller things, particularly those involving just one employee or one client, can easily get overlooked in the remote space.

With all this said, there is no need to cancel all your employee years of service banquets, President’s Club trips or company holiday events.
