The Bring your Children to Work program gives organisations the space for employees to show their kids their working avatars, while sending out positive messages on the existing inclusion and diversity policies. It’s a great chance for creative investment in your employees
Below are a few key points to keep in mind while planning for BYCTW.
- Plan
Ensure you give yourself enough time to prepare an in-depth plan for the event to be a success. Round up an internal team or an experienced external partner who can help you execute the plan with ease. Approvals within an organisation are sometimes complex and it is imperative to identify a fast and effective way to work through it.
- Be trendy
Look out for current trends and popular themes that your employees and their children can relate to; but also that the theme is flexible enough to translate into all aspects of the branding effort, be it pre-event communication, games, giveaways or the artwork on display on the day of the event. Try a few, but a very diverse set of activities; big standard games that are a crowd puller and smaller experimental activities to draw interest or as a surprise factor.
- Security & liability
Safety is top priority. Children of your employees will be of varying age groups as well as varying levels of curiosity. It would be in everyone’s best interests to clear activity areas of toxic or hazardous material and/or information that are sensitive to the company. Due to such liabilities, employees are to be briefed in advance to avoid and embarrassing or untoward incidents.
- Clear your calendar
If the event is conducted during a working day it is important to ensure active work should try to be accounted for while planning a Bring your Child to Work day so that everyone can be part of the fun.
And last but not the least-
- Your energy
It translates. Hence it’s important to put your best foot forward to ensure your employees know you care for them and their families. There is nothing more rewarding than a happy, satisfied employee looking forward to another Bring your Children to Work program.
