17 HR Ideas That Get Your Employees Excited to Work For You (Part Three)

Especially in a hybrid setting, maintaining employee excitement directly ties into helping them feel more motivated in your team. Here's our final part on getting your employees excited for work!


Create Personalized Care Packages

“Showing that you care about your employees is an excellent way to motivate them to keep working for your company. Whether they're going through a personal loss or if it's simply spontaneous, sending out care packages at the right moment can be just the boost they need to power through a tough project or client. You should attempt to create as personalized a package as possible for the employee in question, as generic gifts sent out to all employees don't have the same effect. Sending out surveys is an acceptable method to ascertain one's interests. Still, it doesn't have the same pleasant surprise as having their interests noticed and acted upon more organically.”


- Adrien Dissous, Global SVP of Marketing at Babo Botanicals


Team Lunches

“Hosting team lunches are a great way to encourage engagement between colleagues and an opportunity to make new connections and brainstorm unique ideas. Team lunches are ideal for breaking from the work routine and bringing everyone together to reinforce company culture and team building to strengthen bonds between colleagues. The topic of corporate lunches doesn’t have to be centered around work-related activities; one of the best things companies can do at team lunches is let everybody be themselves! This way, everyone can get to know their colleagues in a more relaxed setting and touch upon their personal lives rather than talk about upcoming projects. There are many ways to make team lunches fun for everyone, such as having food trucks come to the office, renting out a private dining room, or going to a restaurant with engaging activities like bowling or ax throwing. Team lunches are a great activity for employees to look forward to and allow them to blow off some steam.”

 - Sam Rogers, Outreach Manager for Ziebart


Encourage Creativity and New Ideas

“Allow employees to develop different strategies, tools, and ways to work. Any job can get boring or monotonous, especially if you approach the work in the same way, every day. By encouraging employees to use different work methods and new resources, you are allowing them to be more creative. This is a great opportunity for employees to become more excited about their work, but it can also lead to innovation in the business. There is a lot of room for growth in a company when all of its employees are engaged and come up with different ideas.”

- Megan Jones, Community Outreach Manager for NutraSweet Natural


Human resources teams can offer huge advantages to companies and teams by helping to build company culture and connections among team members and employees. Going a little out of your way to plan something fun for the office is proven to lead to some huge benefits like reduced turnover, an increase in innovation and productivity, and overall happier employees. By showing your employees that5 you value them and the perspective and hard work they contribute, you help your employees grow both personally and professionally and satisfy them in this large part of their lives.
