I work at a CPA Firm and we are trying to look for ideas of things to do during tax season, to destress us?
Answer:
Tax season is stressful but we take time to have fun in our office. This year someone brought a squirt gun into the office and the fight was on. Now we all have squirt guns. (Water fights are even more fun if you play "Secret Agent Man" loudly.) A client got caught in the crossfire once but she had a good sense of humor. Practical jokes on coworkers are always fun too. During break times we designate someone to read George Carlin books aloud. We also have a much anticipated parade each year where we crank up the music and dance around the office and parking lot. This year's parade featured kazoos and homemade pom poms. It was a delight.
Marijuana.
You may be asking the impossible. I get stressed out just thinking that tax time is coming again. Thanks!
you need to have a caterer come in with fantastic lunches and dinners for you, that's a great way to help you feel great, tasty healthy brain food and a glass of wine, that's my tip
Toss a beach ball around! Or even get some paddle balls or something of that nature. How about contests? Have a masseuse come in and give short rub downs.
My CPA firm (the one I work for, not mine personally) does an activity at least once a week from March 1 to April 15 just to give us a few minutes to forget about the work and visit with each other. This past year we had ice cream sundaes one week, we did a scavenger hunt for a prize one week, we played putt-putt golf in the lobby one week and, my absolute favorite, they had a chair massage brought in for 15 minute chair messages one week. These days you have to do all you can to keep your staff happy or they will be gone in a second (the headhunters are merciless!!).
Something artistic or really creative. Too often we count the 'beans' but don't think outside the box. Being creative helps us to stay mentally fresh and is a lot of fun.
