HOLIDAY STAYS

Despite the political and economic problems, accidents with Christmas corporate party did not happen - almost all customers, both private and public, carry out planned activities, although reducing costs - cutting back the show program and menu, says owner and producer of the holding "Knyazev" Sergei Knyazev . And if during the previous crisis of 2008 was a massive cancellation of Christmas events and the volume of orders fell by about 60%, but this year because of the economy - he estimates only 15-20%. It is rather a reduction than an undo, save and private, and government customers, managing partner agrees Eventum Premo Alexander Shumovich. Just last change program is not so easy because of the complex expenditure approval procedures, they do not react as quickly as commercial customers, so if something is planned, then forced to do, he said.

Many customers in this year's premisesYali format Christmas events, and instead of the usual holiday for all its employees carry out activities with a clear rational purpose: for example, charity balls or top management meetings with journalists. In addition, this year, many to cut costs, employees are buying tickets to different views - it is much cheaper than spending your own event, tells Shumovich.

December 19 ONF experts found 14 purchases worth 50.1 million rubles. companies with state-owned and state-owned enterprises to carry out corporate Christmas.

This year, the authorities recalled that public money is not worth it to spend on entertainment. Author of the last reminders of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on December 10, said in an interview with Russian television channels, hthen any corporative state structures are possible only at the expense of their employees: "If people do want to meet, drink a glass of champagne, something to eat from the Russian products, it is very easy to do. We are most likely members of the government of skins and go to a restaurant. " Answering the question of who will collect the money from the Ministers for a hike in a restaurant, Medvedev remarked with a smile: "I'm not the cashier is not going to, I think, there will be people" (quoted by TASS).

Nevertheless, the agency organizing holidays, do not lose heart: according to their data, public customers almost the same as last year. Although they are and commercial customers become more economical (about the situation on the corporate events market - cm incision.). If earlier their budgets each year grew by 10-20%, but now everything is no more than the level of last year, says the manager of one of the event-agencies. Why is the market participants did not record such a sharp decline in budgets, which saw the ONF? "Now through the site to catch goskorporativy procurement difficult, because the direct services in organization of New Year holidays, few the requestingcates - says the source "Vedomosti". - Every day I get a newsletter with information on tenders and see that state clients have become often order a "conference and training", a coffee break or a seminar for the New Year instead of the usual "corporate event". State companies draw up a corporate public relations services, training, market research, transferred holidays for employees in November or January, and called them "the anniversary of the company," or tied to the professional holiday, the employee continues to another communications company. And some remembered about the scheme, who worked in the early 90s: if employees of state agencies at the end of the year were discharged special bonuses that were not issued on the hands, and went to a New Year banquet costs, says another market participant.

"Everything is as usual, modestly. The small concert in the conference room "- so speaks of corporate parties" Gazprom "company spokesman. Data about the competition to host the event in the PPL no. But there is information about orders "daughters" of the gas concern. According to the ONF, one of them, of St. Petersburgurgskoe OOO "Gazprom export" has become a leader in the general ranking of the generosity of state-owned companies on the costs per participant. The company has planned to hold a "traditional annual corporate event with the participation of foreign partners" for 7.3 million rubles. up to 350 people -.. ie, the rate of 20 000 rubles. per participant. With this money will be organized a banquet with hot and cold, separately operating bar and musical entertainment.

Another "daughter" - OJSC "Gazprom mezhregiongaz Nizhny Novgorod." - Announced a tender for the development of the concept of the New Year event worth 4.1 million rubles, found ONF. The celebration is planned presence of 250 people, of each party organizers are ready to shell out 16 400 rubles.

"Vedomosti" to find information about these purchases could not, as well as to find out whether these festivals take place.

But it turned out that, for example, "Gazprom Transgaz Surgut», «Gazprom tansgaz Stavropol "and" Gazprom Transgaz Krasnodar "place orders for banquets for the year ahead, not to allocate a separate New Year's menu. Now these companies are open request for proposals for 2015 at 19 million, 13 million and 3 million rubles. respectively. The documentation allocated an indicative list of activities and related costs. For example, "Gazprom Transgaz Surgut» plans to spend the New Year, March 8, and an employee of the gas industry day about 4.5 million rubles. Judging by the menu presented in the tender documentation, the company expects employees to treat such dishes as "Philo with tiger shrimp", "Grilled Beef", "Dorada with tiger shrimp" and "Pineapple carpaccio with creamy ice cream."

Branches of "RusHydro" also place orders for corporate events once a year in advance. Thus, the Moscow "Energy Retail Company" RusHydro "in May - June, conducted the procurement of services" for the organizationmeetings, seminars, corporate events (non-teaching) sessions collegiate governing bodies "by RUR 5.33 million. Events assumed banquets, receptions and dinners, cultural program with the participation of DJ and music band. Just a "SPARK-Marketing" was found about six orders of structures "RusHydro" on the festive corporate events totaling about 19 million rubles. of 2014

By the end of the exhibition, all employees will be able to go there with a pass, and not for money. And just on Monday there will be an event with rewarding employees. Rewardingfunded from the personnel budget. "

Expenditure on state-owned corporate parties can be optimized, centralized procurement, the project manager enters into ONF "for fair procurement" Anton Guetta. "Centralisation will eliminate the wasteful discord that we see in this case as an example of regional" daughters "of" Gazprom "and the Savings Bank, despite the fact that the head offices of state corporations in this year such purchases do not carry out" - are his words in the message ONF.

Corporate events for the state account will inevitably remain, hoping employees event-agencies. Of course, state clients - clients are sophisticated, they have more requirements for the registration of documents and statements, and in general they are characterized by high vulnerability, says one of the managers. He recalls a case where the state bank has fined the organizer of the festival for several bulbs in one of the rented premises is amber, which is associated with competing commercial bank. Nevertheless, these are large structures with significant budgets. For them, corporate parties - as an important tool upgradedI employee loyalty, as well as for private entities, and the rejection of the holiday - it is a signal that the employer has a problem, explains one of the communications agency's top managers. Gosmenedzhery understand that completely abandoning the celebrations, they run the risk of losing valuable employees, so find an opportunity to please the team agrees the source "Vedomosti" in another agency.
