Amazing Ideas...Keep it up!!
1. First, all the employees should have a Pooja ceremony led by the management and pray for a prosperous career.
2. You can organize a game of tambola (housie).
3. If you have enough space, then organize small stalls selling various food items, soft toys, company t-shirts. Giving out merchandise with a company logo will help you brand your organization.
4. You can set up a stage and reward the best performers, have some cultural programs/competitions for the employees.
5. On behalf of CSR, you can visit old age homes, slums, orphanages, etc.
6. I like the idea of planting trees.
7. I would refrain from the idea of a cracker show as it increases pollution. Instead, all the employees and management should take an oath to work towards mother nature and not use crackers.
8. You can ask the employees to get dressed in traditional attire and reward the best-dressed individuals.
9. You can ask the teams to decorate their shop floor.

Dear Priyanka,
Do something different. Apart from you and your family celebrating the festival, I suggest something like this:
- Visit orphanages, old age homes, and distribute sweets, clothes, etc. Spend some time with them.
- Take slum children out and give them a day to remember.
I personally don't advise on firecrackers because a lot of child labor is used, apart from the pollution of sound and atmosphere.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Priyanka,
For Diwali, organize one theme where all employees can enjoy the celebration. Meanwhile, it will convey a social awareness message to the employees. We have had such celebrations in our organization, and it has been successful. Don't forget that employees are assets of any organization; try to make them as happy as possible. After all, Diwali is a festival of sharing happiness. 🙂

Diwali is worth remembering - kill the evil and celebrate. Why don't you kill the evil in the working atmosphere and enjoy? That's the best game. Please keep your charity activity and CSR on some other working day.

Hey Priyanka,
You may try some 'clay activity' fun with clay, and trust me, people really enjoy doing such activities. They can make diyas and paint them the way they want, and then you can ask the vendor to bake them. Alternatively, you may ask the vendor to provide some unbaked items, and employees will only have to paint them before baking (which the vendor will do). Employees will also feel good that they are making diyas of their choice. You may keep this activity going on for 2 hours in the evening.
It is simple, less messy, and cost-effective. If you want to add something as social responsibility, you may invite some orphan kids! In many such institutions, children make handmade candles, carry bags, small pouches, and some decorative items. You may try setting up a stall with their handmade items (and they will manage the counter), and believe me, the kids feel so good and happy when you appreciate their work and make a purchase. Employees also enjoy buying from them because it gives them a sense of joy and satisfaction that they have contributed to a little happiness in their lives.
Enjoy engaging employees and have a great Diwali.

Dear Priyanka,
As many people have already contributed to the same, I would like to add on to the existing points:
1. You can ask employees to clean their desks one day prior, likening it to how they clean and decorate their homes. Additionally, you can introduce a prize for the winner.
2. A suggestion for a relationship-building game named "Be my Angel": request each employee to bring a small gift, possibly Diwali-themed, from their pocket. During a gathering, write each employee's name on a slip of paper, place them in a bowl, and have individuals pick a name. The person whose name they draw will be the recipient of their gift. Ensure that everyone receives a gift. This game was well-received when we played it last year during Diwali.
3. Diya Lighting Ceremony: Encourage employees to bring a Diya each, or provide one to each employee. Instruct them to place and light the Diyas in a safe manner. The Diyas should not contain oil, and if wax Diyas are provided, ensure they have a metal covering.
Wishing a Happy Diwali to all the members of Cite HR. We look forward to making the event successful with these wonderful ideas.
