Hi!
We have around 50 staff in my office. I need a few ideas for employee motivation. Mine is a broking firm, so we do such activities on Saturdays only. I had conducted a picnic thrice last year, and now I'm planning for Monsoon trekking. Other than this, we celebrate employees' birthdays and other occasions like Diwali, Makar Sankranti, Holi, etc. I also used to send good morning emails including stories or thoughts.
Excluding this, can anyone help me with some other activities or games which I can have once a month in my office?

The activity mentioned by Amee can be extended to augment business functions. For example, a quiz program for the marketing team may discuss and answer new marketing developments in the industry. I would prefer any activity to not only be for fun but also add value to the organization's business.

How does one increase employee engagement? The simple answer is to more than fully, and I mean 100%+, meet their five basic needs: to be heard, to be respected, and to have competence, autonomy, and relatedness (purpose).
How to do that? Provide more than enough opportunities for them to voice their complaints, suggestions, and questions, and respond to those in a timely and very respectful manner to the satisfaction or better of the originator and any others affected. Listening and responding must be done in such a way to meet each of the five needs.
Unfortunately, most leaders are not skilled in how to listen. When they should be listening they are generally so busy thinking about how to answer or about something not even relevant to the communication that they don't actually hear the 93% or so of communication emanating from body language and tone of voice much less the spoken words. And most are hipshooters who give quick answers to what little they do absorb of what is being communicated, thus proving that they disrespect employees.
Serving one's team, be it 5 people or 5000 people, requires a strong dose of high-quality training followed by lots of practice and coaching. Sadly, high-quality training is generally not available and coaching/mentoring is also hard to find. If you need help, I am willing to coach/train.

Dear All,
Ameen has a detailed list of activities, and it's really good. One suggestion is that if we can add some charity-related activities too, it would help (e.g., Blood donation camp, Orphanage/Old age home visits, visiting schools, etc.). Any more activities would only add to the list, but there needs to be a work-life balance, or else this effort will fizzle out.

Chakradhar.

Hi friends,
I thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. Also, I'll appreciate if any of you can help with a social event, such as visiting an orphanage or an old age home.
Actually, I'm trying to arrange the same for quite some time, but I have not yet been able to do that. I request you to suggest some places nearby Mumbai. What do I need to do to arrange this for my staff?
