January is traditionally the time for resolutions. Alongside any personal commitments to fitness and well-being you make, it’s also worth planning to start 2012 by getting your business in shape.
There are sound reasons why focusing on team building, staff loyalty and customer incentives in the New Year makes good business sense.
Staff Motivation
Most of us start the New Year feeling a bit flat. Many employees could be thinking that one way to break out of the rust is a change of job. The last thing an employer wants is to lose good employees simply because they are feeling a little demotivated. It’s far better to give them the boost they need while keeping them in the business.
Consider whether there are ways to give your key staff the new challenges they are looking for within the business. That may be increased responsibility, a new project to get their teeth into, or an opportunity to pass on their skills by mentoring younger staff.
A resolution to hold regular employee team building events throughout 2012 could be the best resolution you make. For some great team building ideas visit our Team Building section on www.Inconnection.com.
Loyalty and Reward
New Year’s resolutions often focus on areas where people feel they need to improve. Losing weight, eating healthily, giving up smoking and getting fit are all common resolutions. Look at ways in which you can use staff loyalty and reward programmes to support employees’ good intentions.
If you already support a local charity through the business, a sponsored walk or swim might be just the motivation employees need to improve their fitness – and if you don’t have a charity, there’s no shortage of local good causes that will be glad of the support.
For example, you might consider offering employees subsidised gym membership. Retail vouchers or negotiated discounts with stores are one way of helping employees to eat well, but there could also be a more entertaining approach – why not arrange a cookery class as a team building exercise? We’ve organised many of these in the pass as part of our events so they certainly get a thumbs up from all at Inconnection!
Inconnection create bespoke solutions that motivate and reward including online reward programmes. To learn more visit our Loyalty & Reward section on www.Inconnection.uk.com.
Wide Choice of Venues
Whether its staff motivation, sales incentives or customer and corporate entertaining, an excellent reason to focus on events in the New Year is that you get more bang for your buck – if you pick wisely, your budget will go much further.
Venues which were fully booked and bursting to the seams with Christmas events in December are looking around for business in January. That means there are deals to be done and bargains to be found if you are prepared to book corporate events during quieter trading periods.
Inconnection have the experience to make the most of your budget and create a bespoke corporate event that meets and exceeds your objectives. Drop the team an email at wowme@inconnection.uk.com, tell us what you want to achieve and our events team will be happy to create the solution that’s right for you.
Entertain Your Customers
Remember that New Year blues aren’t unique to your workplace. Customers, colleagues, and supply chain partners will all be feeling the same way. The New Year is a good time to build relationships that will ensure your business is successful right through the year.
Corporate hospitality is a great way to entertain your clients. Inconnection can provide you with hospitality at the best events in 2012 including the RBS Six Nations, RHS Chelsea Flower Show, The Open Championship and the F1 British Grand Prix.
