Dear Sonal,
You don't say that Diwali is the only occasion; it is the best opportunity to connect with employees. There are many options such as celebrations, watching, and sweets. You can find what is suitable for your company.

Hi Sonal, You can organize dance, singing, rangoli competition, musical chair, traditional dress. These are small things but makes a lot of difference. Thanks Anju

Hi Sonal, even in my college, I'm celebrating Diwali celebrations. You can keep some contests such as debate or speech, or an ethnic wear style dress day, which can make a difference for one day from the boring usual working day.

Dear Sonal,
I think this is a great opportunity for bonding and enhancing self-esteem. You could have competitions with good prizes as follows:
1. Creativity - with Diwali as the theme.
2. A cultural show.
3. An exciting meal.
Depending on the strength of employees, you could divide them into teams of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 or more, but always an odd number.
Best of luck!

You can have some competitions such as table decoration, rangoli, best dressed male and female (traditional dresses) and distribute prizes for 1st and 2nd place. If it's a small organization, you can also order lunch and distribute sweets or gifts to everyone.

First, get your office decorated with flowers, balloons, rangoli, and lamps. Then you may organize tombola, musical chairs, etc. Finally, have lunch/dinner or refreshments (based on the budget) and definitely give gifts or some sweets to employees.

Hi Sonal,
You can request all the employees to come in their Ethnic wear, and you can arrange for a decent ramp walk in your department itself. A small stretch to walk at least 15 steps. The best-dressed with the best attitude on the ramp walk would win a prize.

Dear Sonal,
As many have suggested, some kind of cultural program with the flavor of competition and exciting prizes will surely get everyone involved. A special lunch would definitely make the occasion enjoyable.

Dear Sonal,
If I were you, I would split this into two parts:
1. Tie up with an NGO, old age home, or orphanage and invite your colleagues to be a part of spreading happiness by sharing.
2. Have an in-house event that ensures the participation of all your employees. Options can include a quiz, talent show, or a musical/cultural event.
Have a great celebration,

Dear Sonali,
Give your colleagues the 'light' of their life. We offer handwriting analysis services to corporates as 'fun' too. Our analysts can provide a 'fun' analysis and at the same time can uncover some of their hidden issues. We have conducted several such events, and I am confident that this will be a 'first' for your company.

Hi Sonal.
On the occasion of Pooja, can the company distribute sweets packets along with some branded crackers? Additionally, before the holiday, can the company arrange a lunch/dinner plan in the office campus? Furthermore, could the company organize a bonus for all staff members as a way to make employees happy and provide a family-like environment?

I completely second Yoganand here. Just to add to what he has mentioned, we may opt for a donation box or charity without keeping any limit on the donation amount. Towards the end, collect all the amount and hand them over to the Charitable Trust/NGO/Orphanage, etc. With due respect to all, I also second their thoughts on celebrating Diwali in different ways. That would give you external joy, but this activity will give you internal peace. Good Luck, Sonali.

A very good suggestion. A very direct and firm way to tell your employees that you care. Though what I would suggest is to do anything but work. Let the colleagues be together without the work.

I think if there is a budget problem in the company, we can collect a very small amount from the employees to conduct games for them and distribute prizes among them. This way, they will feel refreshed.

In my opinion, it is good to celebrate Diwali with your employees by distributing sweets and gifts for their families. However, before doing so, it is important to provide them with a little knowledge about Diwali celebrations and the safety of themselves and their families during fireworks.

Hi,
In case you're planning to order lunch for employees on the Diwali occasion, my suggestion is that you can organize a "POTLUCK", where each employee can bring something prepared from home, whether it's homemade lunch or sweets from outside. It doesn't matter if the quantity is less because when more employees participate, it automatically becomes sufficient for all. It's truly fun!
