Employees are more beat down than ever and its affecting performance and the overall work environment. Maybe the beat down is a result of 100 degree weather, high electric bills, gas and food prices and/or work stress. Regardless of the cause, employees are losing their spark and its your responsibility as the employer to help employees get back in the groove and stay motivated.
Examples of inexpensive morale boosters:
- Jean Fridays!
- Pot luck lunches!
- EOM raffle drawings for employees who didn't miss work any days for whole month!
- Rearrange the office setting!
- Desk / Office Decoration contests!
- Theme day - Dress like someone from a favorite t.v. show or movie!
- Bring in Donuts!
- Buddy Lunch! Put employee names in a hat, employees draw name!
- Start meetings by having each attendee pick one thing they've accomplished that they're proud of that week.
- Employee Recognition!
There are endless ways employers can boost morale. Be creative and think outside the box and you'll be amazed at what you come up.
Happy employees = Happy employer.
