Various Employee Initiatives

medha.mathur
hi,

i have been able to launch some of the following initiatives in my organization so i thought i might as well share it with you so that you could benefit out of it as well.

the employees in my company are typically client facing, which means that most of the time they dont come to office but at the same time, they also dont get to be a part of the employee initiatives since all the action happens in office itself. Therefore, if you also face the same issue, you might want to try the following :

first of all, try to ensure that most of the initatives that you take are online. I realised that it really works. people are able to participate much more if it is online since they need not be physically present for participation.

also, you can use this for creating awareness of the various policies and procedures in your organization, for instance, you could create an online quiz on mediclaim and exit policies for all the employees and calculate how much do they actually know about the processes. Accordingly, you might want to take it further by organizing training programmes for these or briefing sessions. Atleast it will give you a head start as to what you should train your employees on !

others could be motivation and performance oriented - including employee of the month or employee of the moment. You could also include applaud cards for the employees. If an employee feels that a peer or colleague went out of his/her way to help, then he can express his gratitude by writing an applaud card which could be put up on the applaud notice board so that all can see and be impressed.

one can really improvise on these initatives since these are only basic frameworks. plus, the best part about them is that one does not require heavy investments as they are not expensive initiatives.

let me know what you think...i really hope this can atleast give some ideas to you and can be moulded according to the requirements of your organization.

cheers !

Dear Medha,
If you carrying this out on-line you can also try keeping a new joiners list / birthdays for the month on-line too.
It will help employees come together with some thing as small as a birthday greeting, and they would be able to keep track even while they are travelling.
Regards,
:D
