In a previous blog post we explained how to increase employee productivity<\/a>, now we are specifically talking about point 4 from that article: How to\u00a0incentivise and reward your team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the top 5 ways:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Gamify, with incentives.<\/h3>\n

Make work a game by tracking hours worked or performance on certain tasks. Furthermore, devise a score and try and create a leaderboard amongst your team. Everyone will want to outdo their colleagues and the social aspect will create an interesting motivation dynamic. As a result, the leader at certain points will receive the reward. Make sure to balance the competitiveness with the enjoyment aspect. Consequently, this can be done by creating silly or fun rewards.<\/p>\n

2. Use reward points for useful things.<\/h3>\n

If you use a workforce management tool<\/a>, then you can set targets for rewards. For example, if an employee finishes the month with X amount of an accuracy\/efficiency\/attitude rating they will receive a prize.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t use a tool like this, rather try to devise your own measurements.<\/p>\n

3. Gather feedback for reward.<\/h3>\n

As a manager you want to find out how a project or particular task went. The best place to find that information is from the people who did it. Provide a small reward for those who reply to your survey or questionnaire. Consequently, you receive\u00a0your information and your team morale increases – everyone wins.<\/p>\n

\u00a04. Help employees reward each other.<\/h3>\n

During staff meetings where employees are rewarded have an employees employee<\/em> of the week\/month reward too. Provide a system, email survey or otherwise. Employees can rate the effectiveness and attitude of other employees. As a result, most people get a big kick knowing they helped someone get a reward.<\/p>\n

5. Make team cohesion a serious goal.<\/h3>\n

While at ClockWork we are all about measuring efficiency & productivity, don\u2019t forget to make team cohesion one of your top goals. After all, a team who works together ultimately is the most efficient. Team morale is one of the most underrated productivity drivers in a work environment, keep it front and centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
