It is getting into those gloomier months where it gets darker earlier with cold weather and grey skies! We can easily fall off the motivation train and get down a lot easier, especially coming out of those summer months. Especially when you have a team to run!

We don’t have all the answers but definitely have some tips to keep you motivated!

• In the office - Employee recognition, staff incentives, employee motivation, employee engagement, employee benefits, communications.

• One of the best ways to get your coworkers motivated is to set a good example for them to follow. Try doing your work with a positive attitude, and get as much done as you can during the day. With any luck, your positive influence will rub off on your colleagues and convince them to work harder as well.

• If you find that your colleagues are not motivated, try socializing with them a little more. There’s no rule that states you have to be friends with every person you work with, but since you see your coworkers almost every day, you should try to get along with them and show an interest in them.

• Ask for Input & Listen to Their Ideas - Some workers have trouble finding motivation because they feel like their input is not important. To combat this, try getting your coworkers involved with the decision-making process, and ask for their input during collaborative projects. Sit down with members of your team and let them present their ideas.

• Offer Positive Encouragement - Maybe your coworkers are feeling unmotivated because they feel like they are doing something wrong. If a worker is falling behind, you shouldn’t berate them because this can actually make the problem worse. The best thing you can do when an employee is feeling down is to offer positive encouragement.
