Cost effective ideas for employee engagement do exist! In today’s competitive and bustling workforce, employee engagement is paramount to a business’s success. Events that foster this don’t have to be complicated or expensive. There are plenty of things you can do within the office during regular business hours to encourage interaction between employees. A small celebration or activity is better than none at all. Here are some ideas that we’ve done ourselves:
-
Plan an afternoon social
Setting up an afternoon social is a fun, simple way to bring employees together, and can happen right in the workplace. A few special touches like décor, music or prizes can go a long way to help make it a success. Invite your employees to enjoy popcorn and popsicles or make ice cream sundaes. It’s all about giving them a neat treat to look forward to and a space to come together.
-
Host a potluck
Potlucks are typically a cost effective way to organize an enjoyable activity for everyone. They foster a sense of community by allowing employees to get together outside of meetings and projects. This also provides a space for people to get personal as they share their favorite dish or family recipe.
-
Bring Games to Meetings
Break up your meetings and change up the energy with a few fun games. Incorporating games into meetings can make them more enjoyable and help build rapport, contributing to increased enthusiasm and productivity. Games provide a refreshing change of pace from traditional meeting formats, keeping attendees energized. Raise the stakes by offering prizes to the winners.
Cost effective employee engagement is more attainable than it may seem. Planning moments for employees to enjoy some time together is important for the morale and productivity in the workplace. These events don’t have to break the bank. With a little effort and planning, you can create a memorable experience that will brighten your employees’ day and days to come.
