Let your employees dress up for Halloween

But don’t force them to! Encourage employees who want to put on something spooky to celebrate halloween to go ahead (just as long as their halloween costumes are respectful and not offensive to others).

You can even turn the event into your very own costume party! If you want to take the spookiness into the after hours, why not get some alcohol delivered, get some delicious finger food catering and have an office-wide costume party or costume competition. Everyone will love the chance to dress up, have fun and enjoy a memorable team bonding experience together while getting into the Halloween spirit. Just make sure to make it clear what costumes are work appropriate.

Even better, you could create a contest and offer prizes like a paid lunch or gift vouchers for the most creative costume, funniest costume or scariest costume to get your staff in the halloween.

Fun office costume ideas:

• Wear all black and cut out white circles and lines to stick on your shirt and pants to become domino pieces.
• Get team members from your department to dress as characters from one of your favourite tv show/movie.
• Promote team building by coordinating them to have halloween-themed team costumes.
• Superheroes/supervillains! An unproblematic classic.
• Vampires, witches or ghosts.

Decorate the office for a Halloween party
