Exercise, variety and team spirit: the Team Olympics is a versatile corporate event that gets employees active and creates shared experiences – indoors or outdoors, for small and large groups.
A shared moment full of power and expression: the Haka Event is a corporate event that brings teams together on an emotional level and unleashes energy – intense, impressive and lasting.
A corporate event can take many different forms, depending on the occasion and objectives. Team-building activities in the great outdoors are popular, such as a leisurely bike ride or a modern city scavenger hunt using GPS technology, like our Smart Team Challenge.
Such outdoor events foster a sense of togetherness and bring colleagues together outside the office. Cultural and creative events are also a good idea – such as a joint creative workshop (e.g. painting or pottery). The learning experience and the shared sense of achievement strengthen team spirit. Social engagement can also be incorporated: a volunteering day where the team works together as volunteers (e.g. a reforestation campaign or a day at a soup kitchen) combines a team experience with a good cause.
The cost of a team event can vary greatly depending on the type of event and the level of effort involved. In Germany, there is generally a tax-free allowance of €110 per employee per event. If the budget per person remains below this limit, the team event can remain exempt from income tax as a company event. This amount of €110 covers all costs, such as food, drinks, venue hire, the event programme and any travel expenses that may arise. Important: This allowance applies per person and per event. If the expenditure per person exceeds this amount, the excess must be taxed as a monetary benefit. Up to two company events per year (e.g. summer party and Christmas party) are tax-free. In short, this means: Expenditure of up to €110 per person (gross) for a team event is unproblematic and fully tax-deductible; any amount above this is subject to tax if the employer covers the costs.
A successful company party should offer a mix of fun, team spirit and recognition for the employees. There are a few elements that are virtually indispensable at any company party:
