How to create a happy and productive team

Do you want your team to be happy at work?

Knowing how to motivate, incentivise and inspire can be a minefield but if you nail it you’re onto a winner!

Firstly, let’s start with the why.

Your team are your most treasured asset and we, at Fresh, believe your job as an employer is to take care of your people – and they’ll take care of everything else!

A happy and content team will look after your customers like they’re kings and queens, productivity levels will soar, they’ll go the extra mile, and be on board with your vision for success.

They’ll champion your brand and reputation - telling everyone they love their job, making hiring a walk in the park with people who are in it for the long haul.

It’s not as costly and time-consuming as you might think either.

First impressions count. Retain the excitement and enthusiasm you brought in the interview into your onboarding.

How does your workplace feel? Make it somewhere they want to be - if you build it, they will come.

Communicate. Get the team involved, ask for opinions and implement their ideas.

Care about wellbeing, counselling, mental health support, exercise at work and teambuilding.

Offer progression, training and development. Purpose is vital to human beings.

Invest time, thought and resources. Incentivise and give them responsibility. Trust and delegate.

Often, it’s the small things that matter, so think baby steps rather than huge changes and perhaps start with an anonymous employee survey - which we can help with!
