How Do You Reinforce Team Spirit?
Motivated employees who share similar goals will contribute their best.
Keep these ideas in mind in order to reinforce team spirit.
- Encourage people to interact outside the work environment, i.e., dinners or sports events.
- Put employees at ease by holding informal gatherings at your home.
- Assign a buddy for new employees to help them during orientation.
- Avoid creating hierarchy by assigning perks such as more office space and free parking.
Ultimately, your employee motivation strategies can be built into a sound human resources plan. You can measure your success by evaluating and measuring what strategies have been successful.
Indicators include:
- reduced turnover rates
- increased guest satisfaction (less complaints and more complements)
- improved guest/customerservice
- improved employee satisfaction and improved morale
- increased profits
- reduction in cost.
