It’s summer, and your team would probably much rather be at the beach than at work. In the DASHA® corporate wellness plans we customize for our clients all year long, people are always asking me about the best ways to motivate their team. Here are 5 easy ways to boost company morale this summer and instantly be thought of as the coolest employer ever:
EARLY DISMISSAL. Maybe you can’t afford to let your team take Fridays off in the summer or leave early, but what if you could manage a lunchtime dismissal on the Friday of holiday weekends? The gesture will be a very much appreciated gift. Labor Day is just around the corner!
COMPANY PICNIC OR HAPPY HOUR. Can you host a company picnic or happy hour at the end of one of the work days? Let your team kick back, socialize and enjoy a meal and drinks on you.
DISCOUNT PASSES. Whether it’s whitewater rafting, tubing, amusement parks, water parks, ball games or concerts – there are all sorts of outdoor summer adventures to be had, and if you can obtain free or severely discounted passes for your employees to have some fun on you, your team members and their families will love it.
LUNCH OR BREAKFAST ON THE COMPANY. Can you swing Monday or Friday breakfast or lunch on the company in the summertime? Whatever your budget can manage, your employees will take advantage and look forward to it every time. Lunch or breakfast on the company once a week is also a great alternative for companies that aren’t able to let their people go early on Fridays in the summer.
DISCOUNT SHOPPING OR TRAVEL. Maybe you can swing huge savings for your team at a big department or grocery store, or maybe you can work on discounts for an airline or hotel chain for your employees to use when they take their vacation. Showing your team you also value their pleasure goes a long way toward showing you care.
