Top Tips for Event Staff Management

• Hold a pre-event meeting

• Make yourself available throughout the event

• Show your appreciation

• Keep your staff informed

Hold a Pre-Event Meeting

• Before the day of your event, hold a meeting with your event staff and explain to them what they will be doing the day of the competition

• Nothing is worse or more unproductive than hiring a large amount of people to help you manage your event and they have no clue what they are supposed to be doing

Make Yourself Available Throughout the Event

• If your event staff has questions, you should be available to answer them

• If a problem arises, and someone on your staff does not know how to handle the situation, you should be accessible

• You can do this by carrying your cell phone and handing out your number to everyone on the staff

Show Your Appreciation

• This is important if you are recruiting volunteers to help you with your event

• Everyone wants to feel appreciated for the work that they do, so be sure to show them how appreciative you are

• This can be done by giving them a goodie bag, a t-shirt, sending them a hand-written “Thank You” note, or even thanking them in a speech

Keep Your Staff Informed• Keep your staff informed and delegate

responsibilities

• Certain event management software solutions allow you to send automated emails, and assign role based permissions to the software

• If you have an event photographer grant him/her access to post photos and manage the online gallery, but restrict their access to modify fees, dates, and view financials
