Situatie
It is December 22nd. If you work in events or hospitality, you are likely in the eye of the hurricane. The holiday season is the ultimate stress test for your operations. We call the aftermath the “Holiday Burnout.”
It’s that heavy feeling of mental exhaustion. It’s the pile of spreadsheets left to organize. It’s the nagging worry about whether the team actually felt connected this year, or if they just showed up for the free food.
At Enjoee, we’ve been watching the data. As we transition into 2026, the way people consume events and dining is shifting radically. The “2025 Rush” is already here, and it is teaching us three important lessons.
Solutie
We’ve all seen it, and it hurts a little every time. You spend months planning a Town Hall. The CEO is on stage sharing the vision for 2026. You look at the back row… and they are scrolling on their phones.
It’s not because they don’t care. It’s because listening in silence is exhausting. Data shows that after 20 minutes of passive listening, attention creates a nosedive. When employees feel like “audience members,” they check out.
This year, we saw something amazing happen when companies used Enjoee to flip the script. Instead of just listening, employees used the app to ask questions live, vote in polls, and react in the moment. Suddenly, they were part of the event.
Be honest: How many hours did you spend this month staring at Excel sheets? How much time went into cross-checking dietary restrictions, printing badges that got lost, or manually sending agenda updates?
That creates the “burnout”. You didn’t get into this role to manage rows and columns. You got into it to build culture and bring people together.
We built Enjoee because we hate administrative busywork as much as you do. When the tech handles the registration, the badges, and the updates, you get your time back.
January is coming. And with it comes the meeting with Finance or Leadership where someone asks: “That event cost a lot… what was the ROI?”
It is a stressful question. Usually, we rely on “vibes”: “Well, everyone seemed happy!” But deep down, we wish we had a better answer.
Imagine walking into that meeting with confidence instead of anxiety. With Enjoee, you have the numbers. You can say: “We didn’t just have 200 attendees. We had 85% active participation in the strategy session. We identified the top 3 concerns of the staff through the live poll.”
A gentle note for the New Year
The “Corporate Burnout” doesn’t have to be part of the job description. As you head into the holidays, take a real break. You earned it. But know that when you come back in January to plan the 2026 Kick-off, you don’t have to do it the hard way anymore. We’re here to make the next one seamless, engaging, and, most importantly, fun for you too.
