Unfortunately, most of us also have to go to work. It can be difficult to have a productive, eight-hour workday when your mind is occupied by summer. To help you out, we\u2019ve compiled this list of five sure-fire ways to inspire your workforce during the summer months.<\/p>\n<p><b>1) Incentives<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A little bribery can go a long way! Fun, engaging and meaningful incentives will spark excitement in any office. If you can create a healthy competition, that\u2019s even better. The key here is to make it fun. Simply telling folks they\u2019ll get lunch if they meet goals won\u2019t get the job done. Instead, think outside the box. There\u2019s no reason why, as a leader, you can\u2019t make work and the office fun. Here are some incentives that should get your office motivated:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A free day off to enjoy an extra day of summer outside the office!<\/li>\n<li>A spa weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Tickets to a sporting event or concert.<\/li>\n<li>A budget to decorate offices or cubicles.<\/li>\n<li>Unique trophies to display.<\/li>\n<li>The option to attend a work-related conference of their choice, all expenses paid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having the office come up with incentives is also a fun option. The idea is to get people involved!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)\u00a0<\/strong><b>Field Trips<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Everyone looks forward to a day out of the office. Depending on what kind of business you have, this outing could provide both a change of scenery and an educational experience. Or the field trip could be purely about fun. Give your team something fun to strive for; track their progress so they can see how close they are to reaching their field-trip goal. Or simply schedule outings for each month of the summer. If you\u2019re able, allow employees to bring their family or friends. Some fun office field trips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amusement park<\/li>\n<li>Brewery or winery tour<\/li>\n<li>Movie trip<\/li>\n<li>Day cruise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong>\u00a0<b>Lead by Example:<\/b>\u00a0If you\u2019re taking lots of time off over the summer months, enjoying long lunches and gazing out your window all day, it will be very difficult for your workforce to feel motivated. With this in mind, try to stay focused and positive. Consider what motivates <em>you<\/em> when you\u2019d rather be sitting on the beach. What distracts you likely distracts your team, and what motivates you can motivate them as well.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><b>4) Positive Reinforcement:\u00a0<\/b>Yes, people get paid to be at work. But everyone still appreciates and responds to gratitude. If someone is excelling and is motivated, take time to recognize his or her efforts. Be understanding that it\u2019s difficult to stay focused in the summer and that you appreciate everyone\u2019s contributions. A \u201cthank you\u201d can go a long way!<\/p>\n<p><b>5) Create a Summer Tradition:\u00a0<\/b>Summer traditions give people something to look forward to. This could be a summer BBQ, softball, a<b><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/ringcentral\/business-books-we-recommend\/\"> reading challenge<\/a><\/b>\u00a0or something your office decides on as a team. Get your workforce working and playing together. Collaboration, positivity and fun spark innovation and motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Every year RingCentral has a summer BBQ.
