Team Building Resources

Keeping teams motivated is a never ending journey, this is the first installment in an ongoing series of quick ideas to recognize team members and keep them motivated.

1. Do you have a top employee that you would like to reward in an unconventional way?  Odds are office/file clean up is not high on the list of activities but it is necessary.  Create some free time for your top employee by hiring or borrowing some time from your administrative assistant to spend 3 hours taking care of things.
2. Do you have a prime parking spot that is the envy of your employees, why not give it up for a week and reap the rewards of this small act of kindness.
3. Do you have an employee that  has recently put in lots of extra time, odds are their families have noticed, think of an appropriate gift that you could send to the employees partner, perhaps a bunch of flowers or a magazine subscription.  This is an unconventional way that could make a big impact.

Let me know if these work or if you have used some really successful recognition techniques we could share with others.
