Proven Strategies for Team Motivation

Keeping team members inspired to perform at their best is the mission of every business leader. It’s something we take seriously around the Universal Events office, with the following strategies proving themselves effective time and time again.

Simply asking our event managers what motivates them to succeed is one strategy we use to great effect. Rather than assume we know what drives our people, we do whatever possible to engage them in ways that resonate with their passions. In the process, we also show our event managers that we’re fully invested in their success.

We’re also generous with praise around Universal Events HQ, because we know how powerful recognition is when it comes to motivation. Sometimes all it takes is a quick word of gratitude in front of the entire team to let someone know how much his or her work is valued. Not only does the person being singled out feel good, all of his or her colleagues get inspired to sharpen their performance.

Ongoing education programs also help our team members stay motivated to perform at a high level. When people are always acquiring new knowledge, it’s easier for them to see their way to a successful future. We provide all kinds of rewarding business trips and developmental programs with this in mind.

These are a few of our favorite motivational practices. Follow Universal Events on Twitter to learn more about how we maintain an inspired team.
