Employee engagement activities that people actually turn up for

Most HR teams have the same problem with employee engagement activities: the ideas are easy to find and hard to run. A quiz needs a host, questions and a scoring screen. A Diwali celebration needs décor, food, a stage and games for 300 people across two shifts. AUM Event plans and runs these activities for offices, plants and campuses, so the HR team can take part instead of carrying chairs.

Below are the formats we run most often, grouped by how much time and space they take. Each one works in a conference room or cafeteria, on a factory lawn, or at a banquet or resort for larger teams. For a full day out, see our team building activities in Ahmedabad.

Activities we plan and run

Employee engagement activities by format

Fun Friday activities (30 to 90 minutes)

Hosted quizzes on a big screen, Minute-to-Win-It games, Pictionary and dumb charades leagues between departments, office treasure hunts, and karaoke or open-mic sessions.

Festival celebrations

Diwali rangoli and diya-painting contests with a dinner, Navratri garba nights with a live singer, Uttarayan kite flying with chikki and undhiyu, Holi with dry colours, and Christmas for global teams.

Wellness and health days

Yoga and stretching sessions, health check-up camps, mindfulness workshops, step-count challenges and healthy-cooking demos in the cafeteria.

Sports and tournaments

Inter-department box cricket, football, badminton and carrom tournaments, and company sports days with families. See <a href="/corporate-cricket-tournament-ahmedabad">corporate cricket tournaments</a>.

CSR and volunteering

Tree plantation drives, blood donation camps, school kit packing and visits to NGOs, with logistics, permissions and photo coverage handled.

Family days, annual days and offsites

Family days with kids’ zones and food stalls, annual days with awards and employee performances, and offsites at resorts near the city. See <a href="/award-ceremonies">award ceremonies</a>.

How we plan

An engagement calendar, not a string of one-off events

We start with your headcount, shifts and budget, then build a year’s calendar around the dates your people already care about: Uttarayan on 14 January, Holi, Independence Day, Navratri and Diwali, plus two or three Fun Fridays a month and one larger annual day or offsite. For a plant with two or three shifts we repeat each activity per shift so nobody misses out.

Every activity gets a short run sheet, a host and the props, screens and sound it needs. After each one we share photos, participation numbers and a quick feedback form, so HR can show what the calendar delivered.

Why AUM

Engagement activities run by an event company

Hosts, props and AV in-house

Anchors, game hosts, sound, screens and décor come from our own teams, so a Fun Friday looks as finished as an annual day.

Offices and plants

Formats work in a corporate office cafeteria and on a manufacturing plant’s lawn, with each activity repeated per shift where needed.

One partner for the year

One coordinator plans the calendar and runs every activity, with one contract and predictable costs.

Since 1989

Corporate events, dealer meets and team building for companies across Gujarat and India from our Navrangpura office.

Employee engagement activities: FAQs

What are good employee engagement activities for the office?

Short, hosted formats work best during working hours: a big-screen quiz, Minute-to-Win-It games, a department Pictionary league or a treasure hunt across floors. For larger moments, plan festival celebrations, a wellness day, a sports tournament and an annual day across the year.

What can we do for Fun Friday?

Pick a 30 to 90 minute activity with a host and a leaderboard so teams want to come back: quizzes, charades, karaoke, a mini talent show or a themed dress-up day. Rotating the format each week keeps attendance up.

How do we celebrate Diwali in the office?

Popular formats are rangoli and diya-painting contests between departments, a traditional-wear day, a Diwali lunch or dinner, a small stage for employee performances and a lucky draw. We set up the décor, sound, food and games, and repeat it per shift for plants.

How much do employee engagement activities cost?

It depends on the format, headcount and venue. An in-office Fun Friday with a host and props costs far less than a festival celebration with décor and catering or an offsite with travel. We send an itemised estimate per activity or for a year’s calendar.

Do you run activities outside Ahmedabad?

Yes. We run engagement activities and events for offices and plants across Gujarat, including Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot, and for teams elsewhere in India.
