It’s simple, answer the 2 questions below and a turnkey event proposal will be emailed within a very short time, often within hours.

1. Approximately how many employees do you have? Based on this number, our “tried and true” formulas will suggest your total attendance to expect, including kids. Our proposal will include a fantastic menu selection, proper sizing of tents, tables & chairs and a great mix of entertainment for all ages.

2. Where are you planning to hold your event? The closer you hold your event to your company site, the better your attendance. We can take a grass field and turn it into a festive atmosphere.

Based on our experience, we have found the further away from your facility the picnic is held, the more your attendance declines. Your maximum attendance is generally attained when the event is held at your facility, often time incorporating plant tours for family members. We can assist you in finding the right spot to accommodate all of your needs, whether at your site or a local park.

When a company has their annual picnic at a large water park or venue of this nature, families often venture on their own and the event loses its objective which is to improve employee relationships outside of the workplace and create unity in your workforce.

A Picnic Master event enables everyone to congregate and fellowship in a localized space where relationships are developed and enriched. Our interactive game shows for employees and their families create lasting memories for all that attend – a true sense of “Team Building”.

Picnic Master has developed a reputation for providing only fresh and delicious food.

If you prefer to provide food service from within your organization or use an alternate caterer, we would be glad to offer a proposal covering everything else for your event.

This aspect of your event will “make it or break it”. Picnic Master has the largest inventory of fun entertainment equipment in our region of the country. The key to a successful picnic is having the proper mix of entertainment for adults and kids. Interactive games and contests will make the event memorable for all who attend.

Mallary Tytel, president of Healthy Workplaces, a human resources consulting firm based in Bolton, Connecticut says; The picnic is a way to support workplace morale, relationship-building and retention. "In times of uncertainty, it is particularly important to maintain corporate routines and rituals whenever possible", she says. "That's why more and more companies recognize that the company picnic is part of the organizational fabric, and that the return on investment is less tangible but more critical than a line item in the budget". While many feel-good perks have been dropped in recent years, company picnics have survived and thrived, free of the intense bottom-line scrutiny applied to other employee rewards. In many cases, companies have instituted their first picnics in the last couple of years, and none of the workplace experts consulted for this story knew of any companies that have stopped having them, nor would they dismiss them as passé. Companies seem determined to not let the tradition fall by the wayside, arguing that their value, while not measurable, is real.

Albert A. Vicere, professor of strategic leadership at Pennsylvania State University's Smeal College of Business Administration, believes that the main value of picnics lies in the connection-building opportunities they provide. "In today's business environment, we work far more in ad hoc teams than in formal structures. We rely on colleagues for help, information and support", he says. "Picnics facilitate the development of such social networks. Effective teamwork is much easier when you have met and gotten to know the person you'll be working with." People come alive in the sunshine, with the smell of barbecue and the sounds of summer playing from the speakers.... The picnic lets them know their hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated. Many human resource departments are looking for ways to boost morale. Work productivity and efficiency is not something enhanced only by more work, but also by fun and entertaining activities. The productivity demands of companies are rising, while employee morale is falling. The company picnic is a beloved tradition at many firms. A well organized company picnic with planned activities can improve or develop employee relationships, boost morale and create lasting memories.

Long hours of work can make any employee be a little less sociable. When this situation happens too frequently and for too long, the working environment can become too hostile to work effectively. Companies try to avoid such situations because it is detrimental to the totality of the company. So what do they do? They ask the workers to take time out of their already busy schedule to plan a fun outing for their coworkers. Could there be anything less motivating than asking a high producing employee to plan an event to try to get other employees more motivated?

Corporate events and company picnics are not new ideas. They have been proven to have impact on overall corporate morale and employee motivation. Workers, employees and colleagues are all human beings with common needs. One of these needs is socialization. The socialization process in the workplace can only be maintained at a workable state if the process of socialization itself is motivating. What is motivating in the workplace is when management implements an action such as a company picnic or corporate outing that does not require time and planning from the employees.

A company picnic in its simplicity can bring out the best team building results. The casual set up of this activity motivates the participants to behave in a more transparent and light manner. Transparency is needed to organize a collective body to do tasks that aim a specific goal. Openness is needed to make employees more trusting with each other. Trust is vital to make every relationship work, even if it is a professional relationship. The fun approach of a company picnic, orchestrated by an innovative agency outside the realm of the company can provide viable teaching opportunities while allowing everyone to have fun. When people are enjoying themselves they are more receptive to ideas that others are expressing. Picnic team building activities put the dynamics of the different personal characteristics of the employees at a leveled ground. People can start to better understand the dynamics of the people that they are working with and appreciate these differences.

If done well, company picnics are not just activities that promise fun and enjoyment. Picnics combined with games and good food undoubtedly relieves some of the stresses from ordinary days at the office. It is medically proven that activities which relieve stress can dramatically boost resistance to illness and even speed up recovery time. While the company is providing a fun function, they are also protecting their employees from stress and stress related health problems.
