Depending on the activities scheduled for the open day, every team is bound to have a fresh start. The playing field is leveled and all the teams start the competition on an open slate. It could sound literal, but the mentality of getting all the teams on the same arena for a fun competition is not just therapeutic, but will also translate into more productivity when you go back to the office.

Open days bring the employees and customers they work with together.  It is a great chance for them to foster better relationships as they both compete to win. The team spirit nurtured on both sides is great for the continued relationship between the employees and the customers.

It is one of the activities for the business where the levels of engagement will be at an all-time high and it is a great time for every employee to get excited about their team. It gives everybody a chance to focus on the upcoming year and to have a renewed determination to give their very best.
