7 Crazy And Unusual Employee Motivation Ideas Implemented By Companies by Papilo87(m): 3:24pm On Apr 04, 2013 |
Getting your employers motivated and geared towards putting in their best at work is no mean feat. Companies and organisations are constantly on the search for more effective employee motivation and reward ideas. On a lighter note here are seven unusual, hilarious (with a few weird) employee reward and motivation ideas employed by companies from around the world. 1. Free Beers Every Friday A company based in Florida holds what it calls Beer Cart Fridays where each employee is presented with a cold beer. 2. Naked Friday A design and marketing firm contracted David Taylor a business psychologist to help the firm after six staff members were forced into taking redundancies at the start of the credit crunch. Mr Taylor told the workforce that if they striped their clothes they would eradicate inhibitions and relate with each other more openly and honestly. Two members of staff however were reluctant to do so and one of them wore a pouch while the other (a female) wore a black underwear. 3. Free Concierge S.C. Johnson a big company in the business of cleaning products gave it s 12,000 employees access to a concierge service which took care of all their chores be it picking up laundry on time etc. 4. Employee Shopping Mall Microsoft has a shopping mall strictly for its own employees. At the mall, popularly called “The Commons” employees can eat out, play a game of football and shop. The MS mall contains over a dozen restaurants, a post office and several shops selling a variety of things 5. Parade for Employee of the Month Zappos, the online retailer in the US recognises employee of the month through its Hero Award Programs. To choose a winner Zappos goes through the list of people who received a co-worker bonus. Top executives select a winner from the candidate pool. The employee of the month is announced with a mini-parade. He/she also gets a covered parking spot for one month, a $150 Zappos gift card and a cape. 6. Employees Allowed to Bring Their Pets to Work Everyday Airbnb, as part of its perks, allows its employees come to work with their pets everyday. There are also Yoga classes, ping pong tables at work. 7. An Orgy An Insurance company in Germany one day decided to reward their loyal workforce by throwing an orgy filled with prostitutes. Yes you read right, a prostitute filled orgy. While other organisations give holidays, increased pay packets etc as motivation for their workers this German company Munich Re thought a night of sex would be bigger and better motivation for its people. An orgy was organised in 2007 to reward its successful salesmen. Guests at the orgy could take the prostitutes to bed and do whatever they liked. source: http://ngcareers.com/hr (HR, Management & Strategy for Entrepreneurs, Employers & Managers) |
