Motivational Monday Ideas
Monday Morning Raffle - Hand out raffle tickets as employees arrive and pick winners at a specified time. Prizes can be as small as $5 Starbucks cards and movie tickets to more substantial prizes like $25 Gift Certificates or even IPods if your budget permits. This will definitely give people something to look forward to on Monday morning.
Fun Facts E-Quiz- Throughout the day send out questions via email that pertain to your business, service standards, products etc. The 1st person to respond correctly wins a prize. These can be very small prizes such as candy bars, items with company logo, etc. Or you can set it up like a competition where people get points for correct answers. The person with the most points at the end of the day wins.
Service Bingo - Employees receive a bingo card with a lettered number on the back (example B30) when they enter the building. Every time an employee has a positive interaction with a co-worker, that coworker will share their number and if
it is on the employee's card, the coworker will initial the bingo box. The 1st person to get 5 lettered numbers across, diagonal or vertical gets BINGO. You decide the prize, but the big win is interdepartmental communication and internal service!
Coffee Talk Mondays - Set up an area for coffee & donuts or whatever you'd like to serve and allow employees the opportunity to stop by get a bite and chat about their week- ends. Obviously, depending on the nature of your business and size of your organization, you may need to schedule your staff and limit the time frame. The idea is to give your staff an opportunity to mingle, team build and create an atmosphere of fun and positive energy.
Do something different every week. Challenge your staff to come up with Motivational Monday ideas. Make it a game in itself.
* I was 1st introduced to "Dreaded Monday" concept by a friend and colleague of mine, Mark Byrne, who is well known for his book, entitled "What Your Employees Really Want From You". This book is filled with some great information on how to respect your employees, motivate your staff, boost morale and reduce turnover. Check out his website at www.whatyouremployeeswant.com for more information.
