Had a thought. As HR, shouldn't we look deeper into the issue when us / the company need to "force" employees to join our team building activities? How often has it happened that we organize summer outings intended to promote camaraderie and team spirit yet many are not really keen on joining? Alibis left and right, sometime you even have to penalize (the cost will be charged to you!), yet we never took time to ask why? Do they not see the value of it? Do they think it's such a cliche? #hr #employeeengagement #hrissues

In manufacturing, I believed in recognizing the contributions of our people in meaningful ways. At HR on Demand, our incentive store allows employees to earn virtual coins and redeem them for tickets to exciting games, events, PTO, and other swag items. It's our way of saying "thank you" for their hard work and dedication! 🎉 How do you celebrate wins with your team? #Recognition #CelebrateSuccess #EmployeeEngagement #IncentivePrograms #RewardAndRecognition #EmployeeRewards #TeamMotivation #WorkplaceIncentives #EmployeeRecognition #TeamCelebrations #EmployeeAppreciation #MotivatedTeams #WorkplaceCulture #TeamBuilding #EmployeeBenefits #PTOIncentives #CelebratingWins #IncentiveStore #WorkplaceRewards #EmployeePerks #RewardCulture #EmployeeExperience #OrganizationalSuccess #EmployeeValue #HRInitiatives #EngagedWorkplace

Employee Appreciation Day is an official reminder to reflect on the time and effort spent by your hard working employees. At Symphonix, we think it's important for companies to recognize the talent within their organizations EVERY DAY. Thanks comes in many forms on these types of occasions; words of affirmation, company lunches, events or happy hours, and sometimes something more long lasting and tangible such as a memorable gift. Contact your account manager or learn more about some gift ideas to give back to those who help your organization thrive. https://hubs.ly/Q02mLmrS0 . . . #symphonix #symphonixmarketing #marketing #marketingagency #charlotte #charlottemarketing #employeeappreciation #employeegifts #givethanks

When it comes to workplace appreciation, it’s all about what truly matters. Sure, perks like a fancy laptop or branded swag can be great. But at the end of the day, what really counts is the respect, recognition, and growth opportunities that a company provides. A respectful work environment, a fair salary, and meaningful career progression? That’s the real reward. Let’s prioritize workplace cultures that value people over things. #CareerGrowth #RespectAtWork #EmployeeAppreciation #WorkplaceCulture

Don't let your employees lose that lovin' feeling they have on day one. 🎵 "So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away" 🎵 Employees will always remember day 1. So what are you doing to make day 1 memorable? With Bucketlist Rewards and Recognition, we can automate new hire messaging as they join your organization, and integrate with your existing communication tools like Slack and Teams, to help create awareness around new employees joining your organization. And finally... Happy Friday!!! #hr #humanresources #culture #firstdayonthejob #newhires #recognition #rewards #funny

Should all employee engagement activities be paused in August? 🌴 It doesn’t have to be the case (unless you shut down for the summer and nobody is around). In fact, Rachel Wright from Celbretti tells us that June and August tend to be the most popular months for summer team events. Celbretti helps companies create unforgettable team events in Berlin and plenty of those happen over the summer: 🧺 Small companies often choose: picnics, BBQs, bike rides, and hikes 🎵 Large teams go for: festivals with music and food truck catering Why is hosting these kinds of events important? ▶️ They help teams get to know each other better  ▶️ You have different conversations on a picnic blanket than in a meeting room ▶️ This helps build rapport and feel safe to share more of ourselves. It’s hard to share bold ideas with teammates you don’t have rapport with -  Instead people hold back and go with the flow. If you want your teams to innovate and create, rapport is really important - and events help! Do you host any summer events for your employees? Let us know what those are in the comments! ☀️ #SummerInTheCity #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeEvents

If you've been struggling with alignment, employee retention, and morale in your remote teams, check out these stats from Teamraderie: 1) Average increase in engagement of 22% 2) 90% of employees say that they feel closer to their teams This from some pretty huge and well-run companies. And something I didn't know: some companies are using Teamraderie experiences to help launch new client relationships and build rapport, with 78% reporting improved connection to the customer. I've been loving my time with some of these companies that have been doing my experience, based on The Two But Rule...but there are some really amazing other experiences, like the NASCAR Pit Crew experience, and -- no kidding -- time with Taylor Swift choreographer Matt Steffanina. If your company isn't in the Teamraderie team yet, DM me. You know I'll give you the straight truth on my impression of the experience.
