How Can We Boost Employee Motivation with Birthday Celebrations? Seeking Advice on Forming a Committee

Dear Friends,

Can anyone tell me how to motivate the employees? In my organization, every end of the month, we have a birthday celebration. I myself will organize everything and programs too in the celebration. Now, our management has planned to form a committee. Is that the right way to form a committee with the other department members for the arrangement? Please guide me.

Regards,

Hi,

I don't think a committee will be a good idea for the birthday party as it may create a mess since somebody might not be interested in contributing money for others' birthdays. It's better if all the expenses are paid by the finance department only. They should allocate a budget for the party from their petty cash.

1. Even I am doing the same in our organization. We used to send a Rs. 150/- flower bouquet to every birthday boy/girl at their respective homes in the early morning with a beautiful card on their birthday.

2. We used to organize a birthday party and provide gifts for the birthday persons at the end of the month.

Dear Mr. Chandu,

Thank you for the reply. Actually, we are getting funds from the finance department. I am asking to organize the event. Our management has planned to form a committee only to organize the events. Is that the correct way to involve other department persons in the committee? Because I hope organizing the events is the duty of the HR department. Please reply to me.

Dear Simmi,

Thank you for the reply. Actually, we are receiving funds from the finance department. I am inquiring about organizing the event. Our management has planned to form a committee specifically to organize the events. Is it the correct way to involve other department personnel in the committee? I believe that organizing events is primarily the responsibility of the HR department. Please reply.
