Spice up Your Staff Meetings

Keeping the staff meeting light and informative is a good strategy, but if you want to create a buzz of excitement, find ways to motivate staff and get them in a “team” frame of mind. Show the boss you can think outside the box by suggesting some of the following changes.

Location, location, location!

Lighten the mood by moving the staff meeting to a nearby park on a nice day. You could also move the staff meeting to the company cafe and order in some nice pastries. If you can’t move the meeting to another location you could introduce a corporate theme to the meeting; decorate the room to suit, and hand out some corporate freebies.

Team building activities

Time is always limited at staff meetings so why not factor in additional time once a month and introduce a team building element to the staff meeting. www.wilderdom.com has an index of hundreds of team building games you can try.

Encourage staff to have a say

It's often the case that people do not actively participate at staff meetings because they believe their opinion is not valued. If this is true of your staff meetings, set aside a portion of the meeting for ideas and solutions. Divide staff into groups to create an environment that encourages them to speak freely. Then regroup and discuss the issues and solutions.

Drinks and nibbles

Hold the staff meeting at the end of the day; then head for a bar for a couple hours of bonding. Arrange with the bar beforehand to provide hot nibbles and put the nibbles and drinks on a corporate credit card. Not everyone will be able to attend but it’s a good opportunity to get the boss and staff interacting in a relaxed environment.
