Tips for Halloween Celebrations in Your Office

Halloween is finally around the corner! Although not everyone will celebrate Halloween, we can still hold a small Halloween party or have a Team Building with our colleagues.

Let’s learn more about Halloween and see what can we do to celebrate Halloween!

The Origin of Halloween

Halloween has different versions, but the “All Hallows’ Day” version is the most popular.

It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, the Catholic Church in Europe designated November 1 as “Saints Day”, and “hallow” means “saint”. Since 500 BC, the Celtic people who were from the Ireland and Scotland regions, believed that the dead would return to the world to look for people and resurrect again on October 31. So, people will place fires and candles on this day, so that the dead cannot find the living. They also dressed up as demons or ghosts to frighten the dead away. That is also a reason why we celebrate Halloween in all kinds of weird and funny costumes.

Things to do to celebrate Halloween

  • Halloween Decorations

The first thing you should do to get in the Halloween spirit is, decorate your office. Use the most traditional orange and black themes, and add spider webs, pumpkins, skulls, ghosts, and other decorations to make the office spooky and dark.

  • Food party

Food is an important part of the Halloween celebrations! Do a potluck such as pumpkin pie, cupcakes, spooky cookies, and so on.

  • Halloween costumes

If you want to immerse yourself in the world of Halloween, you should play with Halloween costumes! Halloween costumes can be anything, such as cute cartoons, famous politicians, or any scary characters, which are sure to spice up a party.

  • Trick or Treating

Carry on the Halloween tradition, you can play Trick or Treat with all your colleagues from the different departments! Go around the office and ask for sweets with the exclamation ‘trick or treat’!

  • Halloween Game

Halloween games such as pumpkin decorations contests, ghost storytelling, and other Halloween-related games to improve the relations of co-workers during the celebrations. Give some little gifts to the winners as a small reward, which can also make employees happy and relieve stress.

5 Ways to Help Make Your Workspace Less Stressful

The happiest thing about office workers is that they have consecutive holidays. We always start the holiday mood on Friday or the day before a public holiday. What would you do to have a relaxed working day?
5 activities you can do at workspace to make your workday a happy and relaxing one.

  1. Board Game
    Playing Board games at work can not only relieve stress but also keep your mind flexible. People often ignore rest in the face of multifarious work for a long time. Therefore, it is good to relax your mind to have some fun while you are at work.

2. Coffee

Are you a coffee lover? Coffee is the antidote when you’re tired from work! Drinking a cup of coffee during work can make people feel refreshed and energetic!

3. Office Plant

Office plants not only make the workspace look good, but it also gives a way to relax.  When you are exhausted from your work, you can water potted plants to make your mood joyful! Looking at the green plant also helps to relieve eye fatigue after facing your laptop for a long time.

4. Get some fresh air

Sitting in an office for a long time can lead to burnout and reduce our creativity. To boost your motivation at work, take a walk outside in the fresh air and distract your brain from the stress of work, which also can go a long way toward boosting your creativity.

5. Snack

Eating is a good way to relieve stress. Many of us face a difficult time of sleepiness at work. To stay focused, keep a small snack in the office in case you need it such as a chocolate bar, candy, or biscuits. However, we should pay attention to portion sizes when eating snacks. Eating too much can easily lead to obesity and even drowsiness.

Cube Co-working Space provides you with a comfortable and stressless workspace. In addition to perfect facilities, we also provide unlimited coffee to keep you awake during work. Our offices also have a balcony area so you can enjoy the outdoor space and get close to nature.

They Come Back – EVENTually. The Story of Storm Maker Event Production

After 2 years of turbulence caused by Covid, Malaysia’s social and economic conditions finally show signs of stability. The easing of communal restrictions and opening of borders has allowed SMEs to breathe a sigh of relief and start rebuilding their businesses. One of the hardest hit industries was event management, as they were the first to be impacted and the last to be allowed to operate again. However, with concerts, graduations and weddings now back in full force, these businesses are well on the road to recovery.

Our latest Co-working and Storage customer, Storm Maker Events Production is one of these businesses. They specialize in corporate events like conferences, conventions, and gala dinners. Kenneth Lee, founder of Storm Maker Events shared his journey from the start of the pandemic to now “Overall, the pandemic hit our industry very hard, because all events came completely to a halt. The company had to release all employees as there was no revenue to support the company’s operational costs. As for me, I had to try out some odd jobs to survive through these tough times.”

We wanted to know what kept him going through this period:

“We always believed excellent customer service is the key to success in this industry. Most of our clientele had been with us for years. One such client had been with us for almost 15 years. It is because of this depth of experience within our team, that this exceptional service could be provided across all aspects of the event – from conceptualization to execution. I held on to the hope that this level of service meant that our customers would reconnect with us as soon as things opened up.”

How is the situation of the business today as things are back to normal?

“Things are getting better since May this year as SOPs are becoming more relaxed and client’s worries are reduced.

As you know, events had only been allowed to start up again recently. The momentum at first, was very slow because clients were so worried to hold big scale events, many had also felt overwhelmed by the strict SOPs.”

What was the biggest challenge you’ve faced at work and how did you cope with it?

“The biggest challenge we had faced of course is during this Pandemic. I didn’t give up on this industry as I still had so much passion for it. During this pandemic, it gave me more time to look back at our previous jobs to find ways how to improve them. The fact that our type of event is held at a large scale did not help with this.

I started doing a lot of surveying and idea collecting which I had hoped would be useful when the industries came back, it proved useful so much so that we managed to put them to practice with our last few events.”

What was the situation/issue you were facing that led you guys to come to Cube Self Storage for a co-working solution? How did Cube benefit your company through this recovery phase?
“Before the pandemic, we had partnered with one event carpentry factory, where we shared office space with them. But unfortunately, our partner had been diagnosed with cancer while Covid was still widely spreading, this led us to the decision to close down the factory.
As we were looking for a self-storage company to store some of our event props, we came across Cube Self Storage which could provide us with what we were looking for.”

Kenneth continues “When our event industry had kick-started again, we also started looking for office space, we had found out that Cube provided this solution while using the storage space. We found the solution comfortable and easy in terms of accessibility.”
How is your experience with Cube’s services so far?

“In our experience, Cube provided us with all the necessities which we needed such as helpful staff, comfortable working environment, parking and other amenities we needed to run our business.”

StormMaker productions started with Cube back in 2021 with a medium-sized personal self-storage unit and more recently have taken up a Cube Suite for 2 pax to cater to their business.

How can people learn more about your business/events?
“Most of our new business, are recommended by our existing clients. Alternatively, you may find us at our Facebook Page < https://www.facebook.com/stormmakereventproduction/>

Kenneth and his team have shown that perseverance and resilience are the foundation for overcoming the challenges and obstacles in their industry. It clearly will not be an easy journey, but one that is truly worth it for the passion they have for the industry.

Some obstacles fortunately can be easily taken care of – and we can help you do that.  Clutter or finding that perfect spot to focus on work can easily be overcome with a self-storage unit or co-working space.
