When you have a company with many employees, you might have some employees who never work with each other or hardly even know each other. Have you ever had any issues trying to revitalizing communication between these employees? In this bulletin, we will introduce an example of an internal end of the year party event that JTB Communication Design (JCD) held ourselves to not only celebrate the end of the year, but also to activate internal communication between employees!

At our yearly “End of the year party” we try to stimulate communication between employees from our diverse departments. From managers to new employees, many people joined the festivities.

This year's venue was Azabujuban's "ELETOKYO", a nightclub which is also popular with tourists. We rented this unique venue for our party, leaving the hustle and bustle of daily work behind to create an atmosphere where everybody could relax and have a fun time together. The party was managed by our new employees, giving them a good opportunity to learn and expand their event managing skills.

Among the party`s program`s activities to promote team-building was a karaoke competition. Selected employees showed off their singing skills with various popular songs from the 1980s! Next to this, the managers dressed up in 80s costumes, making it an easy-going and fun party for all attendees.

Employees who do normally not work together got the opportunity to meet each other or catch up, which can lead to new projects and also to stronger internal bonds.
