How Do You Boost Morale & Motivation?
Low morale and motivation are two main concerns for many companies. They can affect productivity, increase attendance issues and spread negative vibes to co-workers and even customers. Due to the importance of morale and motivation, some companies have developed programs and policies to address these issues. Although low morale and lack of motivation can go beyond the workplace and stem from personal situations, some companies may do things to recognize and value employees. Develop a meaningful employee reward program. This program should relate to performance, achievements, teamwork, lack of errors, perfect attendance, or other important events employees may participate in. Setting some goals and providing employees an opportunity to “shine” in their work is a boost to both morale and motivation. For example, one could set up a monthly sales competition for the team with the most revenue generated. The winning team would receive a trophy and individuals would receive a gift of choice.
