I want to find ways to build up team morale without resorting to clichés like a pizza party. What are some of your favorite ways to give back to employees?

I'd suggest making an anonymous survey and asking what would improve the work environment. I'm sure you'll receive amazing insights to continue.

We've taken half days to do fun bonding activities (escape rooms, TopGolf, bowling, etc).

When I've talked to my team about boosting morale before, everything seems to fall under three categories. Recognition, time, and money. Can you offer a Friday afternoon off? Surprise bonus? Have you implemented a strategy to make sure employees are shown appreciation?

You should talk to your team about this. I can almost guarantee you they'll have some suggestions for you

Everyone prioritizes different things when it comes to rewards/appreciation tokens. Check in with your employees and get a feel of what kind of compensation would help boost their morale

I hate to say it, but it is very hard to get everyone on the same page as far as fun activities to do together. Most people on my team like baseball so although it isn't very inventive, we all go to a game every six months or so. One time someone suggested a football game but hardly anyone was interested, so we just stick with what seems to work best.

Once in awhile we reserve the pool and spa for the evening and all the staff get to go have massages or swim for a few hours, it's very lowkey but also quite nice. I like the fact that we don't have to travel somewhere since we have the facilities right here on site

We try to make things fun and interesting because there is a very eclectic group of employees here. One time we just rented a bunch of laser guns and ran around the office like lunatics (when we were closed for business obviously), then the "winning team" got to decide what restaurant we would order food from. It was very lowkey but helped people relax. We already spend a lot of time together, might as well invest in those work relationships a bit here and there

Do you think it's better to let your work speak for you in terms of getting promoted/moving up?

Should I be going after it harder/asking for it instead?
