Dear Kavita,
Please do consider my suggestions:
- Identify the top few concerns of the employee that you would target to work through with this motivation program.
- Map those concerns to events that can be implemented within your bandwidth. Suppose you have employees leaving you at short notice, and the reason being they don't see a future in the company. Plan and offer them programs to make them more employable, which would require them to spend a fixed duration.
- You may segregate initiatives into events, including transactional events such as Birthday celebration, team bonding, and transformational events such as Idea platform.
- An acknowledgment at work is quintessential. But try to differentiate it from the usual R&R programs. You may award the best performer and the one who made the best improvement.
- You may even form a team with a single point of contact from the operation/production employees and work with them to implement these events.
Here's an article on how to implement innovative HR initiatives to develop employee morale at no or little cost. [HR Innovations](http://citeman.com) (Search On Cite | Search On Google)

Employees want to be recognized as individuals, shown empathy, and given opportunities to grow. This requires bosses to care one-on-one rather than treating every employee similarly. Here are some low-cost ideas for motivating your team that can yield a big return on investment.
• Encourage feedback from external and internal customers. Express appreciation.
• Remind staff how their work impacts customers and promote some level of customer interaction for everyone.
• Invite an employee into your office just to say thank you without discussing anything else.
• Send a thank you note or email.
• Send a note to the employee's spouse/family thanking them for their support.
• Create an employee newsletter to share updates and recognition.
• Set up a bulletin board for employees to share news, hobbies, and achievements.
• Celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and special accomplishments.
• Offer the best parking spot for an employee of the month. Let staff know how the honor is achieved.
• Include a note on an employee's paycheck highlighting something exceptional they did that week.
• Check in and assist an employee who is under pressure. Ask how you can help and tackle the tasks together.
• Create a culture of advancement by giving employees a chance to work on exciting projects or learn new skills.
• Delegate meaningful projects, not just routine tasks, to foster feelings of motivation and accomplishment.
• Create lighthearted awards that recognize something unique about each person, such as "Best Screen-Saver" or "Top Joke Teller," and present them at a potluck lunch.
• Share informative articles that could benefit employees and attach a note that says, "Saw this and thought of you."
• Learn about their hobbies, families, children, pets, etc., showing interest in what matters most to them.
• Ask an employee who is skilled in a particular area to train others or make an introduction at a team event.
• Consider hosting a community speaker to talk about topics of interest to employees like time management, stress management, or building relationships.
• Support skill development with a resource library filled with books, tapes, and other materials that employees can utilize.
• Encourage employees to attend seminars and invite them to give a presentation to others sharing what they learned.

Hi Friend,
Employee recognition : Spot Awards, Annual Achievement awards, Outstanding performance award, Best Employee award etc. A scanned copy of letter of appreciation along with their photos should be displayed in the notice board. The letter should excel their achievements, i.e how different are they from others? On what grounds were they nominated? How could they serve as role model for other employees....
Together WE - In-house magazine : Once in a quarter these magazines gives a snapshot as to what is happening in their company which includes sharing Company growth, Management Objectives, Customer satisfaction, List of new customer sign-up, Sales review, Customer delivery and feedback, Partnership details, Up coming projects etc. The company also prints the contributions given by the employees such as Motivation stories, Paintings, Poetry, Riddles, Jokes, Technology related articles, Safety and Health related ppt, Nature photographs taken by employees etc.

We care : HR should conduct Free Health Check-up for all employees once in a year as well as should call in Doctors/ Psychiatrist for seminars on various topics chosen by employees via poll. Blood donation camps can also be arranged as a part of social service.
Quote for the day : This is done department wise. Any one employee from each department should write a quote on their white board. HR should decide the best quote for the day. The department that gets the highest points for the month would be offered a gift. Gift is again based on the number of points that they accumulate (Hats, Shirts, Coffee mugs etc. with Company logo)

5. Dance competition - Any dance they prefer.
6. Dhum sharods - Its like a mime show. Let a member pick a paper from the bowl that they have. One person from each team should come forward and read the content in the paper. He/she should make their team members understand what is there in the paper via actions alone. If team members get what their team member was trying to tell then that team wins a point.

13. My story - Let each member from every team describe their daily activities right from they wake up till they sleep with actions alone. The best one will get the prize.
14. Humour session - Best joke of the day.
15. An reflection - Choose 4employees in your company. Announce their names. Each participant from every team should come and imitate any one of the 4choosen names - More than one is also allowed. Awards goes to the best imitator.

Hey,
Plan a trip out of the workplace combined with a training program. It's fun for sure, and as yours is an IT company where people have to work for long hours, generally, the work-life balance is in jeopardy.
So, take them for river rafting, one-day picnics with family, have a family day celebration, a trip to Adventure Island, or similar places.
Hope these ideas work for your company.

Hi Archana,
That's a good idea, but I suggest creating a symbol to put on employees' PCs so that anyone can easily recognize a target achiever. I recommend using different colors for their PCs.

Hey, there are some suggestions for motivating the employees that I want to share with you all.
1. You can motivate your employees by asking for their opinions about the policies.
2. Give recognition to employees.
3. Contests and competitions can also help motivate your employees.
4. Keep one day a month to invite your employees' families to the office for a get-together.

I appreciate your sincerity and dedication for motivating the people in your organization. I would suggest you conduct some personality development programs that can influence their thought processes, provided they are interesting, interactive, and full of fun.
In case you belong to Delhi, let me know if I can help you. In fact, I am associated with an engineering and management college, and out of passion for personal development and life skills programs, I conduct such programs outside as well. I can do it complimentary at your workplace provided you are in the NCR region.
Mine is a specially designed program for working professionals that can deeply resonate with them through its audio-visual content. Please get back in case you want to know more.

Empower your employees by allowing them to make their own decisions and encouraging them to think outside the box. This approach will benefit them, the business, and you as an HR professional. Foster an open environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their thoughts.
In addition to what others have mentioned, I wanted to emphasize the importance of "empowerment," as it seems to be missing from the discussion.

Dear All,
At the outset, I extend my gratitude to those who have posted precious information about MOTIVATING EMPLOYEES. Please keep up the good work.
Dear Ms. Kavita,
Since you mentioned that your company is small, you will definitely have BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. Please allow me to present my views on your query.
1) To motivate employees, the best way is to experience the POWER OF APPRECIATION, which will bring MASSIVE RESULTS.
2) A POLITE, HUMBLE, KIND, AND SOFT COMMUNICATION STYLE will boost your employees' MORALE and help them develop A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
3) You will find plenty of MOTIVATIONAL information online that you can SHARE with your EMPLOYEES every day.
4) Please ensure that the AGENDA OF MOTIVATION IS DEFINED, which can solve the purpose rather than just carrying out the activity without A SPECIFIC GOAL. Please remain focused in your Motivational Activities.
Sharing knowledge is not about a give and take policy. Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capabilities for better performance, creating A TOTAL LEARNING PROCESS. Help your employees enhance their skills in various areas and improve their READING SKILLS, which enhances PATIENCE LEVELS. Additionally, it also improves WRITING AND LETTER DRAFTING SKILLS.
Hope this will be helpful.

Dear Ms. Kavita,
On a positive note, you can say, "BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME BUT DON'T MISS YOUR TRAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN," rather than talking NEGATIVELY, which DEMOTIVATES employees faster than anything else in this world.
We need to find out THE REASON from those who missed their targets. Study your employees well about their INTEREST and HOW PASSIONATE they are towards their job.
a) I don't suggest any LOGO for NON-ACHIEVEMENT, but you can present something that reminds about NON-ACHIEVEMENT and MOTIVATES to ACHIEVE SET TARGET.
b) Once the TARGET is achieved, you can take it back and present it to another who did achieve the same.
This way, you can carry out this activity and make sure that the employee hates to receive that GIFT that reminds him/her about his NON-ACHIEVEMENT.
I do have experience in the MARKETING DOMAIN, and my strategy was quite different from others as I believe in BEING CREATIVE & UNIQUE from the REST. The same I had trained my team members as well. Train your employees to
a) "ADD 100% ADDITIONAL TARGET TO THE TARGET SET BY THE COMPANY." This strategy will drive your employees crazy to achieve their targets, but ensure that the employee doesn't get frustrated because it's all about the NUMBER GAME and LOSING ENERGY.
b) MOTIVATE them to achieve BEYOND THEIR LIMITS for which they shall be COMPENSATED for their HARD WORK/ACHIEVEMENT.
Please apply CREATIVITY at all levels, which is nothing but THINKING OUT OF THE BOX and DARE TO ACHIEVE BIG or DARE TO DREAM BIG & REALIZE IT.
Please be POSITIVE all the time and don't react/act NEGATIVELY even if your circumstances are not favoring you. Learn to MOTIVATE your employees, and this will produce THE BEST RESULTS.
Implement the greatness of this proverb, "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible" – Arthur C. Clarke.
If there is anything else I can do for you and other members of CITEHR, kindly feel free to contact me. I wish to learn more out of less.
Good luck in all your endeavors.

Dear Kavita,
Please suggest what activities we can do to motivate employees in an IT software company. Our company is a small one, and I need innovative ideas from all of you.
a) You can introduce a "Spot Awards" scheme. Recognize employees for using best practices.
b) Start a "Best Suggestion Scheme" where employees giving the best suggestions in areas like Safety, Production, Maintenance, etc., will be awarded.
c) Implement an "Achievers Award Scheme" to acknowledge outstanding performance by employees.

b) Start a "Best Suggestion Scheme" where employees giving the best suggestions in areas like Safety, Production, Maintenance, etc., will be awarded.
c) Implement an "Achievers Award Scheme" to acknowledge outstanding performance by employees.

Conduct some sessions away from work and the work location to help individuals know themselves and build togetherness:
1. Motivational Sessions
2. Skills improvement (related to work or on personality development)
3. Conduct sessions like Book Reading of famous books
4. Social Services (It builds the branding of the company)
5. Everyone is curious to know their strengths, if not weaknesses. I conduct workshops on Handwriting Analysis. It relaxes everyone and helps individuals delve into themselves.
6. Fun Games
7. There may be a unique skill set in an employee that is not work-related. Give them a chance for a public demo.
8. Conducting seminars (could be work-related) once a year to exhibit an individual's research and writing skills for paper presentation and awarding them in front of other groups by inviting them as chief guests. It motivates individuals and makes them feel recognized.

Motivation is a big source of energy. To motivate employees, contact a philosopher who gives lectures. Schedule the lecture after a month-long period. It will help refresh employees' minds and boost their working ability.

Dear All,
If an employee's pocket and mind both are fulfilled, they can be better motivated. Everyone works for the three Rs: Reputation, Recognition, and Remuneration. When an employee receives these three Rs, he/she can be more motivated.

Dear Madam,
Nowadays, motivation has become increasingly important, and it is not a single process. Understanding employees' needs and problems is crucial. This needs to be done continuously. Therefore, my suggestion is to introduce a mentoring process in your organization.

I have tried many things starting from compensation to appreciation in performance. But in reality, nothing works better than letting them think out of the box. Extracurricular activities give scope to think beyond one's expectations, help break the barricade of seclusion, and post-traumatic disorder with disillusion in the course of meeting the expected job roles due to stress and anxiety from having worked in the same circumstances.
This may not be the only, but as per my experience, it is your best tool to break the ice.

Team Spirit. Have a picture taken of your entire staff (including you!), have it enlarged, and hang it in a visible spot. Most people like to physically see themselves as part of a group or team.
When running contests in your area, try to create contests and affiliated activities that are team-driven. People striving to reach goals together definitely enhance team spirit solely because they must lean on others and be prepared to be leaned on.
One very effective idea for me has been building a collage of creative ideas with the "Team" theme. All employees are responsible for submitting a phrase referring to TEAM on a weekly rotation. Each of these ideas (such as TEAM: Total Enthusiasm of All Members or There is no I in Team) is placed on a wall, creating a collage of team-oriented phrases. Don't have one person responsible for this...do it as a team.

Time Off
Implement contests that earn time off. People will compete for 15 minutes or half an hour off just as hard as they will for a cash award. In many cases, I have had people choose time off over cash when given the choice. Put goals in place (padded, of course), and when these goals are reached by individuals, teams, or the entire staff, reward them with time off. Allow early dismissals, late arrivals, extended lunch periods, or additional breaks.

Dear Kavita,
Employees are different in every aspect of time. As you are a small company and want to motivate them, here are some suggestions:
1. Keep a weekly or monthly reward of Rs 500/- for the best employee.
2. Have some indoor games in the canteen like carrom board and video games.
3. Plan days in the office similar to what we used to have in colleges.
4. Consider the requirements of your employees first.

Dear Kavita ji,
Here are a few of my suggestions:
1. Provide personal care to each individual regarding their work or personal issues.
2. Encourage them to explore and grow more in small companies compared to big companies.
3. Organize outings with a focus on learning, personal growth, or social service.
4. If there are sufficient financial resources, offer incentives or valuable gifts regularly.
5. Involve employees in decision-making when assigning tasks to foster a sense of responsibility.
6. Embrace new innovative ideas, implement them, and acknowledge the best ones.
7. Address grievances promptly.
Thank you.
