With January being the month where staff sickness is high and morale low, we have come up with some top tips to motivate staff through the January blues:
1. Generate enthusiasm- get staff talking by organising team building days or fun social events.
2. Recognition- Recognition for hard work will encourage & motivate staff, you could even set up a corporate rewards scheme where you can give employees the chance to get free high street vouchers, a months gym membership or a meal out.
3. Workplace wellbeing- If your staff have new year resolutions to lose weight, why not have a fresh supply of Fruit in the office
4. Planning- Involve employees in business plans for the year ahead. Offer employees the opportunity to share ideas and thoughts they have at a team meeting at the beginning of the year. Consider turning it into a morning event and order in breakfast. You could even set up a team resolutions list of what you want your department to achieve in 2017.
5. Flexible Working- Consider introducing flexible working hours and reduce stress by helping employees to run personal errands
6. Pay reviews and Bonuses- A pay rise or bonus can boost morale and drive staff to perform better
7. Appraisals- Appraisals are a great way of showing staff how much you appreciate them and that their hard work isn’t going unnoticed!
