A Christmas party is worth talking about!
How to win the ear of employees at the end of the year.
A Christmas party doesn't always have to consist of just eating and drinking. Thank your employees with personal and sometimes conciliatory words. This is worth much more than a one-off payment and a short "thank you". We show you how to win the ear of your employees with simple means and when it is time for a professional speechwriter for a speech at the Christmas party.
Silence is silver, speeches are gold
Making a speech is not for everyone, after all, there are a lot of professional speakers and speechwriters. Not everyone was born with this talent and not everyone likes to give a speech in front of an audience. Nevertheless, it is indispensable for you as a boss, for all department heads and partners to give professional speeches at company events. In this way, you not only show courage, heart and soul and passion for the company, but also stand out as part of the community and as a "patron" who people like to follow.
Speeches at the Christmas party
Choose suitable topics
For perfect speeches at the Christmas party are suitable very many topics. For example, you can take up and talk about general changes in the year that has gone by and in the year to come. Then there are possible milestones, goals and developments from the ending year, for which some important words are worthwhile. Finally, any individual employees should be honored. Whether they have achieved outstanding results or have been with the company for a long time are topics that you can perfectly incorporate into your speech and make it interactive. If your speech is to be properly prepared and professionally designed, it is advisable to use the services of a professional who will complete the speech at the Christmas party from A to Z for you.
Brevity is the spice oflife
When giving your speech at the Christmas party, focus on the essentials. Important topics can indeed take a few minutes, but should not be "talked to death". Remember: your team is looking forward to the party. And here the next point is very important: the speech should be planned at the beginning, if possible, and before the meal. Also address negative topics with a clear conscience, because you and your employees form a unit. Why should you bear the worries alone? But the rule is: 80 to 20. Use 80 percent of the speech time for positive topics - rather more. And cleverly incorporate any negative points into your speech flow and don't block the speech.
Why drastically reduce negative words in this speech?
Although it should be known to talk about positive things rather than negative things at the speech at the Christmas party, we treat the topic once extra. We as Eventagentur experienced it nevertheless actually that with Christmas celebrations speeches are swung, which reported to more than 50% about negative events. Partly the speakers talked themselves into a kind of rage and the result was a tragedy: The team was crestfallen in the tendency and the motivation in the cellar. In one case it was so violent that the party was already over at 11 p.m.. And this circumstance was certainly not planned by the speaker - in this case, the company's CEO. Unfortunately, the subsequent games at the Christmas party did not go down well either.
