How Can I Boost Employee Motivation with Fun Monthly Office Activities?

We have around 50 staff in my office. I need a few ideas for employee motivation. Mine is a broking firm, so we do such activities on Saturdays only. I had conducted a picnic thrice last year, and now I'm planning for Monsoon trekking. Other than this, we celebrate employees' birthdays and other occasions like Diwali, Makar Sankranti, Holi, etc. I also used to send good morning emails including stories or thoughts.

Ideas for Monthly Office Activities

Excluding this, can anyone help me with some other activities or games which I can have once a month in my office?

Employee Engagement Activities

1. Induction programme for new employees
2. Picnic at regular intervals
3. Social activities like family gatherings and festival celebrations
4. Movie screenings every 2-3 months
5. A daily column written by the CEO on the intranet with company announcements and programs
6. Updates via an overhead paging system to recognize employees for significant business achievements
7. Employee suggestion systems with quick responses
8. Internal magazine or newsletter on the intranet
9. CEO spending time in face-to-face communication with staff
10. CEO-based FAQ sessions on company business
11. Online "Ask the CEO" mailbox
12. Monthly staff awards
13. Annual staff awards
14. Weekly blog related to serious business issues for staff to read and comment on
15. Appointment of a disaster management team
16. Appointment of an emergency management team
17. Problem-solving committee
18. Leadership development activities
19. Team-building activities
20. Conducting soft skills training programs as well as required training programs
21. Online real-time tracking of progress, allowing employees to view company progress towards targets and goals
22. Providing a long-term strategic vision for business growth
23. Indoor and outdoor games like Chess, Cricket, and Badminton
24. Celebration of employees' birthdays

Conclusion

These are some of the activities related to employee engagement. This will add to your effort of creating employee engagement.

The activity mentioned by Amee can be extended to augment business functions. For example, a quiz program for the marketing team may discuss and answer new marketing developments in the industry. I would prefer any activity to not only be for fun but also add value to the organization's business.

Suggestions for Employee Motivation Activities

Ameen has a detailed list of activities, and it's really good. One suggestion is to add some charity-related activities too, as it would be beneficial (e.g., blood donation camp, visits to orphanages or old age homes, visiting schools, etc.). Adding more activities would enhance the list, but there needs to be a work-life balance, or else this effort will fizzle out.

Chakradhar.

Health Check-ups and Gym Membership

Shall we add some health check-ups on an interval basis and gym membership?

Thank you for your appreciation. This list contains 24 activities, but there are also various corporate games available on the internet.

Hi friends, I thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. Also, I would appreciate it if any of you could help with organizing a social event, such as visiting an orphanage or an old age home. Actually, I've been trying to arrange this for quite some time, but I have not yet been able to do so. I request you to suggest some places nearby Mumbai. What do I need to do to arrange this for my staff?
