The recent Vietnamese Women’s Day (October 20th) left a warm, lasting impression at the Wacontre office. In the midst of our busy work lives, special occasions like this are valuable opportunities to slow down, connect with one another, and create beautiful memories.
Organizing a 20/10 event is not just a routine employee benefit; it is a hallmark of Wacontre’s corporate culture—a clear affirmation of our appreciation for our talented female colleagues. In this article, we not only want to share the joyful moments from our “Women’s Appreciation” event but also offer practical 20/10 event ideas for other businesses looking for fresh ways to celebrate.
Why is Celebrating 20/10 a Vital Part of Corporate Culture?
In any organization, women play an indispensable role. They not only excel in their professional duties but also help “keep the fire” alive, bringing thoughtfulness, care, and balance to the team. Therefore, organizing a corporate 20/10 event is profoundly meaningful.
First, it is an official and respectful occasion for leadership and male colleagues to express their recognition and appreciation for the women. A sincere “thank you” for their contributions and even their silent sacrifices serves as powerful motivation.
Second, these activities help build a positive, equitable, and supportive work environment. When employees feel cared for and understood, their loyalty to the company deepens. This not only fosters employee engagement but also directly boosts morale and long-term dedication to Wacontre.
Wacontre’s 20/10 Appreciation Event: A Creative Workshop and Thoughtful Gifts
This year, instead of a traditional party, Wacontre opted for a 20/10 event focused on a more personal experience, highlighted by a craft workshop and surprise gifts.
From the moment the day began, the office atmosphere was special. Male colleagues had secretly prepared flowers, cards, and a beautifully decorated check-in area. Kind wishes were shared, setting the tone for a perfect day for the women of Wacontre.
The main event was the “DIY Night Light Decorating” workshop. Under expert guidance, our female colleagues chose their materials and artfully created unique night lights in their own style. The space was filled with laughter, concentration, and pride as they showed off their finished products. It was not just a stress-relieving, creative outlet, but it also gave everyone a meaningful decorative item to take home.
The most heartwarming moment came when leadership and male colleagues presented hand-delivered 20/10 gifts to the female staff. These carefully selected and wrapped gifts, accompanied by sincere words of thanks, brought happy smiles to everyone’s faces.
Ideas for Creative and Meaningful 20/10 Corporate Celebrations
Based on the success of our event at Wacontre, we believe that “healing” and experiential activities are a growing trend. If you are looking for 20/10 event ideas, here are a few suggestions for a meaningful 20/10 activity:
- Host a DIY Workshop: Similar to our night light workshop, you could choose other themes like floral arrangement, scented candle making, relaxation painting, or even a cocktail/mocktail mixing class. These activities help employees relax, learn a new skill, and create a keepsake.
- Give Thoughtful, Practical Gifts: Instead of generic items, invest in gifts that show understanding. This could be a spa/beauty voucher, a gym/yoga pass, a good book, or quality cosmetics. The thoughtfulness in gift selection makes female employees feel truly valued.
- Create a “Day of Privilege”: This is a low-cost, high-impact idea. The company could host an elegant afternoon tea party, allow all female employees to leave 1-2 hours early, or have male colleagues prepare a special lunch or snack service for them.
Conclusion
A successful 20/10 event is not measured by its scale, but by its sincerity and thoughtfulness. The bright smiles and moments of creative relaxation at our workshop are the clearest proof of the value the Wacontre program delivered.
Investing in the mental and emotional well-being of employees is the most sustainable way to build a strong corporate culture. Wacontre is committed to maintaining and developing more meaningful activities, making every day at work an enjoyable and memorable one.
