Ways to Boost Employee Morale through the Holidays

The holiday season is a busy time for your business and for your workers. Not only are they juggling their jobs, they are also juggling all of their holiday activities. It is not uncommon for their morale to droop a bit during the holidays.

Instead of waiting for the impending droop in morale, be prepared. Have an employee morale survey ready and waiting for when the holiday season sets in. Having your employees submit one of these surveys will help you gauge just how bad the droop is – and if there is anything you, as the boss, can do about it. If you discover that your employees are feeling a bit low about their jobs during the holidays, you can do some things to help give their morale a boost.

Planning a holiday party for your workers is an easy way to help them connect again, to each other, and to their jobs. You can also plan for Secret Santa – a gift exchange in which everyone draws the name of another employee and buys a gift. Holiday bonuses are another way to boost morale during the holidays. If you cannot afford to part with a lot of cash, consider investing in food products, such as hams or turkeys. Any way that you can relieve some of the financial burden on your workers will be appreciated.
