There will be moments when you can hear a pin drop in the workplace. Either in the early morning when the employees just arrive or worse, their minds are just too far away wandering in some other place where the relaxation sits in.

Sometimes, if not a pin drop, chattering employees talking about festivities or upcoming sale.

If there is ever a time during the year when leaders and managers need to show their skills, this is it.

How do we really keep the people focused?

Through Incentives
We all need to stay motivated, and nothing encourages workers more than a relevant incentive. Productivity will rise when your workers know what they can ‘win’ or ‘get’ in recognition for their efforts and skills.

Small Business Functions
This can be a team lunch every month when a goal is achieved or a night out with all expense paid. Most employees would tag in if there’s no need to chip in. This can also be a great time to talk about your interests outside the office, bond and build camaraderie.

An Extra Time Off
Anyone in the work place would work hard for this. Who wouldn’t want an extra day off or two to stay at home or go out to your desired destinations? A paid vacation would also be a great incentive. This may just be a small reward but it gives people more energy to start and boost their drive once they got back to the office.

There are a lot of ways to make the employees focused on their jobs, but it’s better if it would also become a reason to make them stay.
