Question

A city's years-of-service banquet costs more than employees say it is worth. What evaluation should HR run before the next cycle?

Accepted Answer

Whether perceived value versus cost supports reallocating the spend to day-of-service time off or team amenities employees actually want. — An expensive party nobody asked for is still an expensive party. Survey what people would rather have—an extra day, a better break room—and move the money. Cost versus felt value is the whole evaluation.

Answer

Whether the banquet can be made more expensive so it feels more prestigious despite low perceived value.

Answer

Whether to hide the cost in the events budget so employee value perceptions no longer matter.

Answer

Whether to make attendance mandatory so utilization of the banquet rises on paper.
