Encourage teams to deck out their workspaces with eerie decor, from cobwebs and cauldrons to spooky lighting. It’s an opportunity to let your creative juices flow and see who can create the spookiest or most elaborate office space. Plus, the decorations will set a festive atmosphere, making the office a fun place to work on Halloween.
