Enter for a chance to win a $5,000 summer office party TORONTO, June 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Office parties, barbeques, networking events and team building activities are paying off in a big way according to Staples Advantage Canada. The business-to-business division of Staples recently surveyed customers to delve deeper into the benefits of hosting corporate events. Survey respondents indicated: Accordingly, office events aren't just a fun break from the daily grind, they contribute to important factors such as employee engagement, appreciation, motivation, and loyalty. When asked why their employers are not currently hosting corporate events, respondents cited "no budget," "no time," "too cheap," "too busy" and "no one to organize" as the main reasons. "Hosting corporate events or showing recognition to associates doesn't have to be elaborate, nor does it need to break the bank," says Michael Zahra, president of Staples Advantage Canada.
