Hello, everyone, and welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I hope all is well and you are getting through all you have to accomplish. Quick question, want to boost morale in your workplace? Well, I have a few ideas to help with this. Let's dive in!
For holidays and special occasions, since we are in the Christmas season, why not plan a family Christmas Party to foster a family-friendly environment. Possibly go the extra mile and hire a Santa for the children to meet and if you can afford to, give them a little token. You can encourage those who may not have kids to bring another family member or pets.
Another idea could be to host a Potluck! Have employees bring their favorite dishes or desserts, and you can even kick it up a knock and have a themed potluck like Hawaiin Luau, 5 Ingredients or Less, or A Tour of the Mediterranean, to name a few.
For ongoing events, an idea could be to host a weekly "Best of" Contest. For example, create a poll and have co-workers vote for the best dressed, most likely to go sky diving, best-looking desk, and so forth. Be creative with this and have fun categories. Another suggestion would be to have a "kindness day" where motivational or encouraging quotes/notes are placed in areas least expected for employees to find.
For one-time events, create a Classic Game Day for about an hour or two where employees can get a little break and have fun. Monopoly, cards, Phase 10, dominos would be great games to incorporate.
Everyone loves a good food truck! So why not give employees some options and let them vote on their favorite food trucks and hire them for lunch. I know they would appreciate this because who doesn't like food.
These events will definitely allow you to know your employees more and help improve their employee morale. What events have your company done to help boost morale? Feel free to comment below! Until then, continue to be safe and take care, my Community friends!
