Hi,
I believe your employees are facing issues with their salaries and increments. Why don't you organize a session this month involving your Directors? This session could be part of the Company Orientation where you share the company's goals, upcoming projects, and achievements with your employees. Discuss the growth opportunities for every individual in the company. Make them feel valued and motivated in their roles. This approach might help lighten their minds. Consider incorporating some soft skills training on assertive thinking and stress management.
Cheers!

Hi,
Good prizes usually work well. Also, there must be at least a few people who are enthusiastic. Try to get them involved or have some representatives from the teams. It will give you a helping hand; and since they are involved, they would make an extra effort to bring their teammates along.
Have you tried organizing something like antakshari or a quiz, where teams from all the projects/departments need to participate? If you have not, you can consider it. Are there any specific leaders who are quite popular and respected by many? Would it be possible to get them involved in the activities?
One more thought... Is your team looking forward to any technical or soft skills training rather than just focusing on fun activities? Will that reflect the management as their well-wisher? Think it over.

Hey Rohit,
I understand your problem. First, make your employees feel comfortable. Try to conduct some games inside the office and spend 1 or 2 hours. You can split your employees into teams and then ask for suggestions for events.

Bad loser Sir and some of our other respected members have already given you valuable views.
In addition, you say it's a firm of 70 employees, so it's easy for you to communicate with them. As you are the HR, try to mingle freely with your employees and find out what's really bothering them. The best, simple, easy way is to chat with them. For instance, when you find a group of employees chatting during coffee breaks, join them, have a casual chat about their work, current status, future plans, family, etc. (trust me, they will be really engaged in the chat with you since you are an HR and might even say exactly what's bothering them). This way you'll have an idea.
And so, you might come to know what's the reason behind this. Is it monetary, management, personal, or the manager bothering them, or is it the HR itself?
(Just a small opinion, please don't mistake it. As far as possible, never ever arrange any event on a Sunday. Even if it's a group of 5000, only a few would show up because this is the day they concentrate on their personal work.)

Compact,
Read all responses and pick up a suitable answer. You may have misunderstood the employees' priorities and are seeking solutions from us, which may or may not be appropriate. Conduct an employee opinion survey, analyze the results, and present the findings to management; this is the most practical method.

Dear all members,
Thank you for your participation and your suggestions that may help me out. Apart from that, as I mentioned in my last post, when I asked 50 employees for suggestions for an event activity, I received 50 suggestions. In such a situation, what can we do? Please keep sharing your views and suggestions.
Thanks

Hello,
I understand your concern and predicament. As an HR professional, you should have, by now, understood why employees behave in such a manner, showing a lukewarm response. You are not sure, but you mention salary as a reason. However, it may not be the case. When you convince them that everything is for their personal and career growth, they will respond. You may find the answer the moment you assess whether you are effective and efficient in your endeavors. If you don't make mistakes, your posting has a lot of errors. If you demonstrate that you are the one they are looking for, well, they may respond. Even then, if they don't respond, they are the losers, not you. Furthermore, why doesn't management take employees seriously?
