Top Tip 2: Engaging your Staff -
Organising the Christmas Party



Our customers told us:

The Christmas Party is the single biggest and most expensive event provided by the company. We want employees to really enjoy it but how do we engage with them to make sure it ticks all the right boxes and isn’t a wasted cost?



What we did:

We recognise that organising the Christmas Party is a major operation, particularly in blue chip organisations where employee numbers are in their thousands, yet in many cases, its organisation is left until the last minute. This means that having the opportunity to engage with staff to discover needs and wants becomes almost non-existent, unless you have a mechanism that allows you to communicate directly with staff and allow them to send feedback, instantly, on their preferences.

Rapide offer a solution using SMS. You may have seen the technology before on TV voting shows such as Big Brother, X-Factor, Dancing on Ice...and while these shows see millions of text voters, the technology can be taken and adapted into smaller business environments.

What’s more, we understand this technology and can do the whole set up and execution for you. All you need to do is call us with your message you want to send out. We set up your recipient lists, provide you with a short code number (eg 66099), type your message for you, and send it out, all on your behalf.

So if you want quick answers to see if you should hire Wembley or The Ritz, or book The Enemy or Will Young, ask us about our Key Words and Short Codes solutions.

Fast feedback from staff enabling you to make decisions quicker.
