4. Tip 1: Competition
Encourage some friendly competition between
your employees to encourage them to work
more efficiently.
They can be graded on a leader board for
certain benchmarks that you set which will not

motivation but will hopefully result in positive
outcomes for your company in terms of
increased sales.

5. Tip 2: Incentives
Co-ordinate your leader board competitions with
incentives as well as launching company campaigns that
encourage employees to do better by offering up
incentives like bonuses, staff nights out, more days off or
even an activity day in the office. Some ideas could be:
1. Having a party
2. Conducting small to medium contests
3. Introducing beverage days such as breakfasts or drinks
after work
Incentives could also range to more useful, long term
rewards like earning business health insurance or profit
shares.

6. Tip 3: Team building
There are lots of ways to motivate your employees with team building
but here are two great ideas:
• Blind Fold Jigsaw: “This is exactly what it sounds! It is a giant jigsaw
and each team member will take it in turns to collect the pieces
scattered around, with the use of a wheelbarrow. However, the
team member will be blindfolded and will need to listen to their
other team members who will be giving clear instruction and
guidance towards the pieces of jigsaw. Once all the pieces of the
jigsaw have been gathered, the team will need to assemble the
jigsaw”
• The Rope Bridge: “Get each of your squad and the de-activator
across the rope bridge (mind your heads on the cross beams). The
rope bridge then gets washed away and with the equipment
remaining you must construct another bridge to get across the
ravine to safety. .”- Bainzaivents.com

7. Tip 4: Skills development
Make sure that your employees feel that they are being trained adequately to
performs their job roles well. It may be good to review staff skills after roje
adjustments to see which areas need to be focused on the form of skill improvement
training. The benefits of training are:
1. “Improves morale of employees- Training helps the employee to get job security
and job satisfaction. The more satisfied the employee is and the greater is his
morale, the more he will contribute to organizational success and the lesser will
be employee absenteeism and turnover.
2. Less supervision- A well trained employee will be well acquainted with the job
and will need less of supervision. Thus, there will be less wastage of time and
efforts.

skills required for doing a particular job. The more trained an employee is, the
less are the chances of committing accidents in job and the more proficient the
employee becomes.

They become more eligible for promotion. They become an asset for the
organization.

It is vitally important that you communicate with
your employees so that they feel like they are being
heard and that their opinion counts for something
which will motivate them in their day to day
routine. Most importantly when it comes to
communication:
“Your employees should be made aware of the benefits
you offer early and often. An initial discussion before
they are hired and frequent communications thereafter
will ensure everyone remains engaged and up-to-date.”-
