Celebrating Team Success

It’s a win/win! We are heading towards the end of the calendar year and it’s a great time to reflect and celebrate your team successes in 2021.  It’s been a tough year, it’s been a busy year, there’s been uncertainty, challenges and we’ve worked tirelessly for our clients and on our own business growth here at Pro-Development.

We are heading towards the end of the calendar year and it’s a great time to reflect and celebrate your team successes in 2021.  It’s been a tough year, it’s been a busy year, there’s been uncertainty, challenges and we’ve worked tirelessly for our clients and on our own business growth here at Pro-Development.  We’ve been balancing working on the business and in the business and have had to navigate new relationships with funders and develop more programmes, workshops and team building than you could shake a stick at.  Then there’s all the coaching and mentoring we’ve been doing and anyone who has benefited knows how intensive that can be.

So how do you get the thanks out there? How do you appreciate and thank those who have made it happen in 2021? How do you make sure that individuals and teams feel recognised and that the leadership values their contributions?

1. Whenever there is something positive use your internal messaging to celebrate, give thanks and promote accomplishments. Internal newsletters or internal messaging systems provide a great quick way to recognise great work and say thanks.
2. It’s not the job for just the leaders! Make sure that everyone in the organisation feels empowered to recognise achievement and show appreciation.
3. We love to see shout outs and the spotlight on employees on LinkedIn, it’s fabulous to be able to congratulate and celebrate in this way.
4. Think about the creative and different ways you can recognise. Flowers or food, small gifts or small rewards, all contribute to informal acts and you might have a more formal monetised recognition programme. Get leaders to understand the motivations of their people and get creative about how to celebrate.
5. To really recognise at an individual level, ask your team members “what helps you to feel valued and appreciated at work” and then make sure you take a note of this.
6. Foster a culture of empathy and appreciation in your team, a culture of belonging.
7. Timing might need thinking about, does someone get recognised each month?
8. Is there a formal way to put team members forward? You might operate a points system? Lots to think about.
9. Link your accomplishments to the company values or behaviour framework to ensure you value aligned behaviours and achievements
10. You might also consider rewarding by taking the team out for a team building event. We’ve certainly been helping a lot of people this year to do that.  It’s a great way to learn, bond and celebrate together.

And that’s where we can help. We offer indoor and outdoor activities all year round, either land based, or water based, you choose!  We don’t believe in doing “stuff” just to be different – we do believe that our sense of fun, energy and creativity along with a pragmatic approach, are the right mix to guarantee an enjoyable experience which focuses on achieving results.  Whether you are looking for an indoor facilitated workshop or an outdoor team building event or even a combination of both, we will work with you to identify the best possible solution to suit your team and achieve your desired outcomes.  And most importantly, to help you celebrate team success together.

Just get in touch to discuss your requirements.
