Have employees get to know each other by planning an outing with friends or family members outside of work hours. You can all meet up somewhere new and enjoy something you’ve never done before as a group. The key is to try doing something unfamiliar, so it encourages people who might be hesitant (or scared) to try something new but still relatable to everyone. 

Let the whole company know about your plans and encourage employees to bring their friends or family members! You might even want to have a picnic during the outing, too.

These ideas are ideal for both work and play, and that’s what makes them fun. The more employees get to know each other outside their department, the closer they’ll feel inside the office.
