Sara Roberts, Founder – ProFam Consulting

Corporate events are a great way to engage employees, strengthen company culture, and build community—but they’re even more impactful when they include families! Here’s how to plan a successful family-friendly corporate event that leaves a lasting impression.

Step 1. Define the Event Purpose

Are you celebrating employees? Building team morale? Launching a new initiative? Clarifying the goal will shape the structure of your event.

Step 2. Choose a Family-Friendly Venue

Look for locations that provide:
✅ Safe, open spaces for kids.
✅ On-site activities for different age groups.
✅ Accessibility and accommodations for all families.

Step 3. Plan Engaging Activities

Interactive games & entertainment – Face painting, scavenger hunts, or inflatable obstacle courses.

Educational stations – STEM activities, storytime corners, or hands-on crafts.

Team-building exercises – Family-friendly competitions or collaborative projects.

Step 4. Offer Flexible Scheduling & Accommodations

Provide various time slots to accommodate different schedules.

Offer childcare options for parents who may need a break.

Create relaxation zones for parents with infants or toddlers.

Step 5: Gather Feedback & Improve

After the event, send out quick surveys to employees and their families. Use their input to enhance future events and tailor experiences to their needs.
