Work functions your staff will love

Work functions are 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 function ideas according to the different types of people that may be in your team.

The jokers

It’s not everyday that you get to go to an arena event with a friend or partner, let alone with your work crew! But attending a live show can be a great type of work function if your team like having a laugh. Coming very soon to Perth is Amy Schumer Live, a stand up comedian who isn’t afraid to air those embarrassing moments. So if your team like letting their hair down and watching a show, a live work function could be for you.

The 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 involved with a group fitness class - anything that works up a sweat and gets everyone moving! 

The creative types

If your team is mainly comprised of creative types, a fun event 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.

The gamers & 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!
