How to Boost Morale and Keep the Troops Up
Well if you have been a human being on planet Earth for the last month, you will know that we are up to our necks in concern over the current Covid-19 Virus Pandemic. You will also know that these are uncharted waters for most of us.
There are usually 3 types of people in these situations. Those that panic (and call it severe concern), those that keep calm and move the troops forward and those that switch sides depending on what day it is and what they have heard.
However, if you are Business Leader, Influencer, Business Owner (big or small) or in any form of leadership at all. You will recognize the IMMEDIATE NEED to "build your morale" and keep your business/companies going.
So how do we do this effectively and actually get ROI while we do it? This is where we can help and share insight.
Key Tips for Boosting Morale
This is not an exhaustive list, just a few tips to get your mind focused on things you can actually do to move your organization forward while we prevail as a world.
Get Creative In Your Business
I know this sounds cliche' but it's true. Think of products and services that you offer that your clients may not know about that can actually HELP THEM right now.
Make them feel SAFE
In times of uncertainty, people want to be told it will be "ok". Let them in on plans and be transparent for the greater good. Everyone deserves to know the truth.
Let them know their Valuable
You know what goes a long way? A simple Thank You. You know what goes even further? Thank You GIFTS! EVERYONE enjoys getting something by surprise.
Send Food
Food is Comfort. It's been psychologically proven. When your gift shows up (individually wrapped of course). It will stand out and set you and your brand apart.
You can send "Custom Face" Fans to your employees of their boss as they start to work from home more. Or send to your clients as a reminder you are always here for them. On side two, you can list your services and how to help.
1. We Will Get Through This
As a Leader of any organization. We have to look ahead. Every day we wake up is a RISK. LIVING IS RISKY. It just what it is. We must keep an attitude of positive influence for our teammates. If you look at American History, you will see, we rise to the occasion and we PREVAIL! This time is no different. You have to look at how beneficial this is to take a "forced slowdown". (I know there is lost income but follow me here). Before there was a Currency System, before their was toilet paper. Humans existed and they grew to become greater than they were before. They INVENTED SYSTEMS, we cured Polio! Magic Johnson doesn't have HIV anymore. Trust me on this one. We will get through this.
2. Mail Items & Gifts to prospects and employees
You can mail out a Branded Pot Holder to your teams and to your clients and say "During these uncertain times, we are practicing safety and what you to know we have you covered". The kids will see you care, the family will see you care, your brand will become a conversation piece while people are at home.
This time is about showing "care", you can send these to your clients and staff, just to say, we know you are working at home at this time. We appreciate you.
3. Headsets for Calls
Comfortable Custom Apparel wears forever
Now is a good time to give "comfort" in the physical sense. Blankets, Comfy Sweatshirts and Pants, its going to be a whole lot of "less than 10" home gatherings going on. A little bit goes a long way. Put your brand in in the homes and make the people feel GOOD!
