The work Christmas function your staff will love

The end of year work Christmas function is a perfect opportunity for staff members to come together and have some fun. But everyone has a story of a work function that didn’t live up to expectations, or ended up being a flop!

The trick is to take into account the personalities of your staff members, ensuring that the activity is something that they will be excited about and enjoy taking part in. Here we have broken down some work Christmas party ideas according to the different types of people that may be in your team.

Party people

It’s not everyday that you get to dress up to the nines and attend a glamorous event, so for something really special the Spectacular Spectacular Christmas party is not to be missed. If your staff are social people who enjoy gourmet food and premium drinks they will have a great time getting the ‘VIP experience’, plus there will be world-class circus acrobats and internationally acclaimed artists performing incredible feats right at your table. Then, at the end of the evening everyone can kick up their heels, and dance the night away!

Fitness fanatics

For groups made up of gym bunnies and fitness fanatics, head outdoors and take part in a physical activity that will get the adrenalin pumping. Some ideas could include mountain biking in the Kalamunda trails, kayaking down the Swan river, or get competitive with a paintball tournament - anything that works up a sweat and gets everyone moving!

Creative types

If your team is mainly comprised of creative types, a fun Christmas party idea that they may enjoy could be a class where everyone learns a new skill such as screen printing or sketching. Alternatively, venues such as the Art Gallery of Western Australia offer event packages where a cocktail party can be combined with a viewing of the State Art Collection or a touring exhibition.  

Gamers and geeks

If your staff is mainly comprised of people who would much rather spend their time in front of a screen, why not take them to play classic video games at The Nostalgia Box in Northbridge. A museum showcasing the history of gaming plus the opportunity to play retro games, the venue is available to hire for groups of up to 40 people. It’s the perfect compromise between socialising and geeking out over video games!
