It's going to take some serious work to decorate for your employee appreciation day, set out the food, and organize any activities. Remember that the point is not to give your employees additional work to do, but it's important that you get some help setting things up before the event begins. Ask for volunteers or choose a small team to help you. Make sure to credit those who helped prepare for the event during the festivities. You may want to offer an incentive for those who help set the party up like allowing them to leave early the day prior. At the onset of the employee appreciation day, you should address the group and let them know why you are throwing such an event: to let them know how much you appreciate their hard work. You may choose to share stories about individuals that have gone above and beyond the call of duty or discuss recent successes you have experienced as a group. Leave out any lingering concerns you or the team may have. Employee appreciation days should be about what's going well, not what needs to go better. Emphasize how much you personally appreciate your employee's hard work. After you address the employees and explain why you are having an employee appreciation day, try to steer conversation with individual employees away from work. Allow them to enjoy their day instead of treating it as an extended staff meeting. Don't bring up things you need done to employees unless you expect them to leave the event to do it. Only ask an employee to work during an employee appreciation event if it is absolutely imperative to the success of the business and make sure they are aware that you appreciate their sacrifice.
