Creative Activities for Employee Morale

Creative Activities for Employee Morale thumbnail
Improving workplace morale can improve productivity.

As a manager, one of your top priorities is to ensure that the morale of your team is high. High morale leads to high productivity, and the opposite also applies. There are a number of fun and entertaining ways to improve morale in the workplace, and to boost team spirit.

  1. Treasure Hunt

    • This activity is best enjoyed outdoors. Hide some "'treasure"--perhaps a bottle of champagne or a box of chocolates--and split your team into small groups of two or three. Give each group a riddle that, when solved, will lead them to the location of the next clue, which is another riddle, until finally they find the treasure. This exercise requires teamwork, and finding the treasure boosts morale.

    Go-Karting

    • Go-karting is a great activity for all ages.

      Go-karting is an activity that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Large teams can be split into smaller groups, and those not driving can cheer on their colleagues. Award prizes to the winners, and maybe even give a gag prize to the loser. Teams can work on a relay basis to boost teamwork ethics and morale.

    Team Cooking

    • Find a working kitchen, and split your team into groups of two or three. Give each group the utensils and ingredients needed to cook a meal; then have the groups taste and rate the meals. This helps the team learn to work together to complete a task within a set time.

    Sports Day

      A sports day builds team spirit while encouraging physical fitness. Form teams for relays or to compete in some other event. This fosters team spirit, boosts morale and improves your employees' fitness, all at the same time.

    Spa Day

    • A massage can be a great way to improve happiness.

      Probably more suitable for female employees, a spa day can be a relaxing way to improve employee happiness. A massage, foot rub and general pampering helps employees feel more self-confident. A similar activity for male employees would be attending a sports game.
