People spend much of their week at work, and as a result the workplace should be a pleasant and enjoyable place to be. Many companies do not allow employees to wear comfortable clothes or even fun, but this is a big mistake because it creates an uncomfortable work environment and will not, generally, promote good company morale.

Companies that find different ways to reward employees, and to find ways to make the workplace a fun place, have happy and more productive employees. Having donuts in the morning each Monday, a dinner for employees every month or even offer dress casual Fridays may be good ideas to lighten things up a bit. Enjoying the time that was spent in the workplace will make them better employees in general and more productive.

Goal setting is also a way to help employees track their progress and give a necessary objective. This helps provide a motivation to work harder and this can really help improve employee morale and create a competitive environment. The establishment of individual targets and goals throughout the company allows people to succeed and is a major morale booster.

Awards and rewards for employees who are doing a good job is another way to create a better workplace environment. When an employee knows that you have seen, acknowledged, and rewarded them for a job well done, they no longer feel invisible. In fact, they feel loved. Being acknowledged by their employer motivates them to work harder for the company because they know that their actions are being rewarded and this makes them work even harder to keep pleasing their managers and owners. They begin to feel that they are an important asset to the company and that they can make a difference.

Companies that reward their employees, have parties, sports days, and involve employees in goal setting are those that succeed in creating a better working environment. In doing so, companies will see immediate results in their bottom line, which makes everyone more happy. Being able to have fun, to feel useful and appreciated is a big part of creating a pleasant working environment. As a manager, you can entice more bees with honey, so why not try to adopt a more positive approach to managing your people by improving employee morale and reward employees who truly make a difference? You will immediately feel the shift when you take a more positive role.
