Increase Employee Morale during Tough Economic Times

Make Them to WANT to do More Motivate Them with Valuable Rewards

No company can afford to ignore the benefits of special recognition, social interaction or a little friendly competition between employees. "Employees want to be in a company culture that's fun and respectful,"

How come employees aren't as happy as they were just a few years ago? Quite obviously it's because of the economy. Employees are nervous and stressed in today's volatile economy. Gas prices, food prices, downsizing. etc. This causes lower productivity and raises health benefit costs for employers.

According to the American Institute of Stress, numerous surveys and studies confirm that occupational pressures and fears are far and away the leading source of stress for adults and that these have steadily increased over the past few decades. So how can employers help their employees without breaking their already strained budget? Here are 2 simple ways employers can do this:

Contests:

Silent Auction Partners will deliver and set up a stunning array of unique auction items, the items we provide your company with will depend on the demographics of the personnel competing in the contest! All you have to do is design the contest rules. Make a list of things you would like to change in the way your employees perform and base the rules of the contest around them. Reward the individuals with monopoly money and watch them perform as they work toward winning an item.
Eg: Your contest rules could look something like this
$5 reporting to work on time
$5 completing daily tasks
$20 BONUS $$ (perfect attendance for the week)
$20 every time an employee makes a sale
$15 new sales lead
$10 for every extra hour the employee works

All employees have a chance to win an auction item; the ones that performed the best will have the most money and compete for the largest items while other's will still have a chance at winning a item and participate. The goal here is to try and get all employees to perform at a higher level. If you hold another auction contest immediately after you will see a marked improvement in the performance of the employees that didn't achieve great success in the last contest. No one wants to finish at the bottom 2 times in a row.

We know budgets are tight but this is a very cost effective way to increase your monthly revenue base and doesn't require a lot of work on your part. Promoting good work ethics among employee's shows that you value their growth gives them a chance to communicate with each other and can be used as a really great morale booster. It's also a great return on a minimal investment, the money you spend on auction items will be returned to you with increased employee productivity.
