We know that the Practice Business community dedicates itself year-round to ensuring that patients across the country receive seamless and efficient care, as well as creating optimal environments where employees can thrive and achieve their full potential.

With so much on your plate, it can be challenging to find time to bring a little joy and fun into your workspace. This Christmas, we’ve put together some quick and easy ideas to sprinkle some festive cheer around your practice. These suggestions only take five minutes to set up, giving you plenty of time to focus on what you do best – caring for your people!

Create Your Christmas Soundtrack

Everyone loves a Christmas classic! Have each staff member or team nominate their favourite festive tune to include in a practice Christmas soundtrack. Once you’ve gathered all the selections, simply copy and paste them together to share with the team or play in the office. You might even discover a new favourite to brighten you in the festive mood!

Potluck Drinks Station

It’s time to jazz up your tea and coffee options. Why not organise a potluck drinks station with festive flavours like gingerbread and salted caramel and add mini marshmallows and hot chocolate for a cozy touch. With some seasonal flavours, you can significantly enhance your tea break choices and let your team get creative with toppings and flavours.  Forget the calories, it’s Christmas!

A Helping Hand

Christmas is a season for joy and celebration, but it can also bring stress and anxiety, particularly for those facing financial difficulties or personal challenges. In these challenging times, teams have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact in their local communities and spread festive cheer.

Why not create a designated area in your reception or office for people to donate non-perishable food items for local food banks or get the team involved with creating some Christmas care packages for local care homes or refuges? Encourage employees to participate in the assembly process, making it a fun and engaging team-building activity.

You don’t need a big budget or elaborate decorations to capture the Christmas spirit. It’s about celebrating what you and your team have created together—whether it’s compiling a festive soundtrack, treating yourselves to an extended coffee break or getting involved with a good cause.
