3 Ways to Boost Morale & Productivity in June

Have you been hunkering down in your office? Pushing to be productive on a shoestring budget?
Might be time to break the tension. Lighten up a bit. Have some fun.

Boost morale and productivity with these simple celebrations in June.

Celebrate National Iced Tea Month – by serving iced tea at the next staff meeting. Or have pitchers of iced tea in the break room. Or put on an apron and load up a tray with glasses of iced tea; then deliver to workers at their desks. Or create an offshoot of the event…National IT Month and deliver Iced Tea to the IT Department.

Celebrate National Tennis Month – by organizing an office round robin tourney to take place after work one evening. Or have a table tennis tournament at the office. Either way – be sure to stay cool by serving Iced Tea!

Celebrate National Fresh Fruit Month – by passing a tray of fresh fruit at the staff meeting. Make a corny statement about celebrating the fruits of your labor. Or simply leave a big bowl of fruit in the break room for staff members. Or deliver an apple to the desk of each employee each day. Put a big bowl of fruit on the front desk for walk-in traffic.

Choose one of the ideas from the list – or make up your own. Celebrate simply or feel free to Super Size them like Tracey did with National Salsa Month.

Just DON’T let that Super Size story keep you on the sidelines. Jump in and let these celebrations give you an excuse to take a break from the norm. To laugh, have fun, break the tension. To show appreciation. In the process, you might even end up boosting morale and productivity.
