Motivation on a Dime

     Employees need constant motivation, but not always on a grand scale. Try occasional low-cost motivators, such as ordering pizza or Chinese take-out for lunch. During this informal lunch, turn on the TV to watch a funny sitcom for a half hour.

     For another low-cost motivational idea, take your usual staff meeting to a new location. Try the library, a coffee shop, a museum, a colleague’s office across town or a local art gallery. Even better: if it’s warm and sunny, head outside, preferably to a park or garden. Be creative!
