Motivation

Motivating employees can be difficult. Motivation can be achieved by having pizza on Fridays or a company softball team. Other options are a company Christmas party or a Halloween party. Managers could even take their employees out to lunch or dinner. These are both very acceptable ways to motivate employees.

I think there is more to motivation than free food and drinks outside of work, but they are a good start. I think that there are many in-work motivations that can really stimulate interest and give the employees drive. I like the idea of group activities that allow participation like softball games that you mentioned. I really think the activities should be suited for the specific type of occupations.

Having some type of interaction between individuals is great because it helps the employees learn how to work together and cooperate. It also is a great way to motivate people because they get to conversate with their co-workers and relieve any stress that accumulated from previous days.
