You can even share&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/5-easy-lunch-ideas-for-work\/\">easy, healthy lunch ideas<\/a>&nbsp;for some inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"June_Summer_BBQ\"><\/span><strong>June: Summer BBQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a team-building&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/5-team-building-summer-activities-to-boost-employee-morale\/\">summer activity to boost morale<\/a>? June 18 is National Picnic Day \u2014 perfect for a company-wide parking picnic or BBQ. Set up field-day style games to get everyone involved. No BBQ is complete without food! Consider offering team members&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/individual-meals\">individual meal credits<\/a>, so they can order their favorite BBQ foods and have it delivered to the picnic site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"July_Karaoke_All-Stars\"><\/span><strong>July: Karaoke All-Stars<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for a battle for the ages, karaoke style! Consider renting a karaoke machine for the event, or hosting it at a local karaoke spot near the office. To make it more interactive, you can have employees request songs in advance and vote on favorite songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"August_Lunch_and_Learn_Series\"><\/span><strong>August: Lunch and Learn Series<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As summer comes to a close, school is back in session.&nbsp; Give employees a chance to enjoy their lunch break on you with a side of education by scheduling a series of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/how-to-host-a-virtual-lunch-and-learn\/\">lunch and learns&nbsp;<\/a>all month long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/grubhubs-taste-of-2021\/\">Grubhub\u2019s Taste of 2021<\/a>&nbsp;as a guideline for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/catering\/\">catering<\/a>&nbsp;food.

It\u2019s a quick, stress-free way to choose items that will appeal to the majority of your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pair those good eats with seminars on professional topics like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Diversity and inclusion in the workplace<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public speaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leadership skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conflict resolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Networking tips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Icebreakers to introduce new employees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email communication 101<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tech innovations for professional settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Productivity apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"September_Off-Site_Company_Event_Ideas\"><\/span><strong>September: Off-Site Company Event Ideas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take team collaboration even further this month by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/6-tips-for-hosting-a-successful-team-offsite\/\">hosting an off-site event<\/a>. Events can be held in local offices or you can fly the team to one central location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let logistics like budget, goals, and the unique needs of your team help guide the planning process. To ensure a variety of inclusive food options, opt to give each team member&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/individual-meals\">individual meal credits<\/a>. Having team members select their own meals allows them to support local restaurants near them and takes into account their specific allergies and dietary restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"October_Office_Halloween\"><\/span><strong>October: Office Halloween<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Host an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/team-building-activities-for-your-virtual-holiday-party\/\">in-office Halloween party<\/a>&nbsp;this year. Offer employees the chance to dress up, allowing them to get as creative as they\u2019d like. To up the ante, consider holding a costume contest and having employees vote on their favorite costumes. For employees who may not want to dress up, you can hold a separate contest for the best decorated cubicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"November_Volunteer_Activity\"><\/span><strong>November: Volunteer Activity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As people across the U.S. start to tally up all the things they\u2019re thankful for this year, turn your team\u2019s gratitude into an opportunity to give back. Make volunteerism your theme for November\u2019s company event. That could mean hosting a canned food drive, collecting winter coats for those in need, or partnering with a local animal shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"December_Holiday_Party\"><\/span><strong>December: Holiday Party<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the year comes to a close, consider ways to host&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/blog\/4-tips-for-hosting-winter-celebrations-at-work-that-promote-diversity-and-inclusion\/\">winter celebrations that are diverse and inclusive<\/a>. Instead of one large event, you may host a series of smaller events that recognize Bodhi Day, Diwali, and Hanukkah as well as Christmas and New Years \u2014 all made even more festive by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/catering\/\">catered<\/a>&nbsp;food and a few beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"January_Escape_Room\"><\/span><strong>January: Escape Room<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider kicking off the year with a team escape room. While themed challenges like Alien Escape and Retro Rogue Scientist are fun for friends and family, they\u2019re also great teambuilding opportunities for corporations eager for a new way to bring colleagues together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teamwork is an essential part of solving an escape room. As employees collaborate, they\u2019re learning how to communicate, problem solve as a group, and have some fun along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"February_Trivia_Night\"><\/span><strong>February: Trivia Night<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring out the team\u2019s competitiveness with a trivia night. You can choose to host the trivia event at the office, or at an offsite location. Consider having a theme for the trivia night and include decorations that reflect the theme. To make it even more enticing for folks to participate,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/catering\/\">cater<\/a>&nbsp;from your favorite local restaurants, so everyone has something to munch on in between questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"March_Indoor_Mini_Golf\"><\/span><strong>March: Indoor Mini Golf<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor mini golf is a fun activity that accommodates all skill levels. If you have multiple departments in attendance at this event, you can have each one set up their own themed hole. Start teams off on a staggered schedule or instruct them to start in their own department and then make their way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"April_Go_Green_for_Earth_Day\"><\/span><strong>April: Go Green for Earth Day<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year on April 22, people all over the globe celebrate the power and potential of our planet as part of Earth Day. For some, it\u2019s a chance to revisit how we interact with the Earth and increase awareness about eco-friendly solutions. For your company, it can be an opportunity to bring teams together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider bringing in an environmental expert and create a \u201cGo Green\u201d checklist for everyone to follow in the office. Solutions can include everything from unplugging electronics overnight, using coffee mugs instead of paper cups, and decreasing the usage of paper towels. Offer employees the chance to share their ideas on how to make the office more sustainable and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cater_your_company_events_with_Grubhub\"><\/span><strong>Cater your company events with Grubhub<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A corporate ordering solution like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/\">Grubhub<\/a>&nbsp;can make&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/catering\/\">catering<\/a>&nbsp;your events a simple, stress-free and cost-effective option.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.grubhub.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a>&nbsp;today to see how Grubhub can work for your teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With businesses transitioning to a&nbsp;hybrid&nbsp;or&nbsp;in-person&nbsp;workplace, there are more opportunities to host in-person activities.
