Though the economy has it’s up and downs, company picnics are the one thing your company should not cut out of the budget.

Company picnics are the perfect way to build teamwork and camaraderie. It is the perfect environment for employees to let their guards down and get to know one another. People who work in different departments and others who are not normally able to interact on an everyday basis will get a chance to talk in a laid back atmosphere. It’s about building connections that just can’t be made in the office.

Everyone wants to work for a company that understands family comes first. All year long, there are meetings and other functions that are for workers only, so opening up the company picnic to families shows your support. An added bonus is the connections now felt between your company and the spouses and children of your employees.
