Halloween season is the perfect time to add some spooky spirit to your company culture, and what better way to do it than through your intranet?
Whether you’re looking to increase employee engagement or just have a little seasonal fun, your Happeo can be a powerful tool for bringing the team together. Here are five fun and frightfully effective ways to "boo-st" your intranet for Halloween, utilizing Happeo’s features.
1. Host a Halloween costume or story contest via Happeo Channels 🧟♀️
Unleash your team’s creativity by hosting a Halloween costume contest or a spooky story competition right within your Happeo Channels. Employees can upload their best Halloween costume pictures or share their most spine-chilling ghost stories using Happeo Articles and Posts. To encourage participation, offer prizes for categories like "Scariest Costume," "Most Creative," or "Best Halloween Tale." You can even feature these stories or costume images on your company homepage or as part of internal updates for all to enjoy. This not only engages your team but also fosters a sense of community within your organization.
2. Run Halloween polls 👻
Looking for a simple way to stir up some Halloween excitement? Leverage Happeo’s Polls feature in Channels to host Halloween-themed quizzes or vote on the winners of your costume or story contests. Whether you’re asking, “What’s the best Halloween dish—candy corn or pumpkin pie?”, “Who had the scariest costume?” or even “What is your favorite scary movie?’, polls are a quick and interactive way to get employees involved. It also adds an element of fun competition to your internal campaigns, boosting engagement while tapping into the Halloween spirit.
3. Organize a virtual Scavenger Hunt across Happeo 🔍
Who says scavenger hunts are just for kids? Create a virtual Halloween-themed scavenger hunt within your intranet. Scatter spooky images, custom emojis, or Halloween puns across various Pages, Channels, and even People profiles in Happeo. For an added layer of fun, turn it into a contest: ask employees to find and collect as many Halloween-themed items as possible. Whoever spots the most hidden “frights” wins a prize. See here how we ran a Scavenger Hunt for Easter! It’s a fun way to get employees exploring different parts of your intranet, increasing engagement with your content while embracing the spooky season.
4. Halloween-themed news and Announcements 🎃
Give your intranet announcements a Halloween makeover! Spice up your internal comms by adding Halloween-themed language, graphics, or emojis to your usual news posts. For example, you can turn your “Weekly Updates” into “Wicked Updates” or rename “Company News” as “Spooky Stories.” You can also highlight any Halloween events or reminders about contests, keeping the spirit alive throughout the season. Make it engaging by inviting employees to comment with their Halloween-themed suggestions or jokes. This approach keeps everyone in the loop while adding a dash of seasonal flair.
5. Spookify your custom login page in Happeo 🦇
Add a dash of Halloween spirit to your intranet by spookifying your custom login page. Transform the usual login interface into a festive experience with Halloween-themed graphics, such as spooky cover image, logo ghosts, or themed page copy. You can also incorporate playful messages or fun Halloween facts into the copy that greet users as they log in. This not only enhances the user experience but also sets a festive tone for the week, making employees smile as they start their workday!
