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 a 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 event including transactional events such as Birthday celebration, team bonding and transformational event 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 team with single point of contact from the operation/production employees and work them to implement these events.
- Here's an article on how to implement innovating HR initiative to develop employee morale at no or little cost. HR Innovations <link updated to site home> ( Search On Cite | Search On Google )
