If you find that your company is experiencing a period of high staff turnover, it could be for a wide variety of reasons. You could even just be unlucky. However, if it extends over a longer period of time, it may be worth trying to read how motivated your staff seem to be. If you feel that their motivation and morale is lacking then it’s important to understand why and how you can change that.
There are a number of ways that you can motivate your staff. Introducing an appraisal system where your employees can share their individual objectives can help you to understand where they want to be. Following this, you can provide a supportive environment for them to achieve their objectives. Another method is a team building exercise. If it’s a draining atmosphere that you believe is halting motivation, our team can help to build a positive environment for your team to bond. Alternatively, if you feel that your team simply needs a little relief from their work, a night of live entertainment could be all they need to refresh.
One of the factors that goes hand in hand with motivation is productivity. If your workforce doesn’t share the same goals and objectives as the organisation, it is going to be incredibly difficult to reach them. Whilst the hiring process can be a great filter for identifying if this is the case, you may also be dealing with existing staff that have become disengaged with their work.
A team building exercise is a fantastic way to reignite their interest. Especially if you’re coming out of a heavy workload, giving your team a licence to socialise and collaborate on something more light hearted could remind them of the positives of working for your organisation. It also shows that your company takes the well being of your staff seriously and gives you an opportunity to reward them for their hard work.
Large workloads, a lack of targets and lack of communication are just a few ways that your team’s quality of work can suffer. This is especially common if you’re overloading your team with more work than they can handle. This point leads off what we were saying about productivity. This is because the more motivated your staff become about what they’re doing, the more likely they are to put more care into their work.
If you can find a way to align their work with their personal goals and objectives from an appraisal, it’s likely that they will be more motivated to achieve them. Team building events can also help with this. For example, taking time out for our a live gig or a bake off can be a great way to reward them for their work so far.
One of the other things getting in the way of your colleague’s motivation could be the relationship between them and the other staff. If there is a fractured relationship or your team has never been able to form a strong bond, it’s important to rectify this as soon as possible. If you have found yourself working from home for longer than you expected, you may have neglected the bond between your team thinking that you’ll soon return to the office. If this is the case, you should look to make a change.
There are a number of ways that this could be done. For example, you could use a messaging tool such as Slack or Skype to dedicate a channel to more personal relaxed chat. Alternatively, you could introduce tea break video calls throughout the day at set times for your team to socialise and relax. Our virtual events are also a perfect way to get together and experience something new that can bring you all together. With enough variety to cater for all, you’re sure to find the perfect event whether you’re looking for an exciting challenge in the shape of an escape room, or a more relaxed evening of wine tasting.
