Hari Raya is a time of togetherness, gratitude, and joy. Bringing the festive spirit into the workplace can help encourage inclusivity and boost employee morale. Here are some fun and meaningful ways to celebrate Hari Raya in the office!
Â
1. Decorate the Office with festive elements
2. Potluck lunch that reminds you of Hari Raya
Nothing brings people together like food! Host a Hari Raya potluck lunch where employees bring traditional dishes like Rendang, Lontong, and Ketupat. You can also bring snacks like Kuih Bangkit, Nutella Tarts, and Love Letters because they are always a hit!
3. Cultural Workshop
Help employees learn more about Hari Raya’s history and traditions by organising a cultural workshop. Make it fun by adding a Kahoot quiz session, where the winner gets a small prize because who doesn’t love a little friendly competition?
4. Hari Raya Gift Bag/Box
Show appreciation to employees with a Hari Raya gift box filled with festive snacks and a personalised thank-you note. Not sure what to get? Our Raya Treat Box is packed with delicious festive treats, making it the perfect gift to spread the Raya Cheers in the office!
5. Office Talent Show
Let the employees showcase their talents with an office talent show! Whether it’s singing, dancing, or performing Silat (Malay martial arts), it’s a great way to celebrate culture while having fun. Let everyone vote for the best performance, and reward the winner with a prize to have them immerse in the festive mood.
6. Team-Building Activities
Celebrate the spirit of unity by hosting team-building activities with a Hari Raya twist! Organise games like charades with Hari Raya-themed words, traditional congkak tournaments, or even a friendly cooking competition where teams prepare simple festive dishes.
7. Support a Charity
Hari Raya is a time for giving, so why not organise a charity drive? Employees can donate essential goods, food, or money to underprivileged communities or orphanages. You can also partner with local charities to sponsor meals for those in need!
Host a Virtual Celebration
For remote teams, bring the festive vibe online with a virtual Hari Raya celebration! Organise fun online games, sending Hari Raya giftbox to their doorstep, and livestream cultural performances to keep the festive spirit alive, no matter where your team is.
