5 Ideas to improve morale
Here are 5 ideas of how you can improve moral in your company
- Pajama day - Have a designated day at work where all employees can where their favorite pajamas
- Movie night - Most movie theatres will allow you to rent out a movie theatre and having a private showing. Make sure you set aside some money and purchase popcorn, junk food, and sodas for everyone
- Bring you dog day - This is great as long as you don't work in the food business. Have a day where everyone can bring their dogs to work
- Company BBQ - Close the office early on a Friday and have a free BBQ for your employees and their families
- Shopping spree - Grab the company credit card, and take all your employees to the mall. Give everyone a walkie talkie and when they find something they want, have them radio you, then you run to them and purchase their item

- Morale and morals go together. And appreciation, recognition, feeling valued. Also shared vision effectively communicated, then fitting dept/div. and personal problems/opportunities into time-targeted, measurable objectives with action plan steps, so milestones are achieved along the way- Rewarding!
