Hi Revati,
As you mentioned your organisation is a start up then you should first try with small things like celebrating bdays together, celebrating accomplishments success, newsletters could also be inroduced which could consistently update the employees abt the success & keep them motivated to perform well. Let me tell u that it is always easier to keep people together in small organizations since it is easy to observe all successess directly. There is even better bonding. But it has to be maintained by creating a good environment.
Start with these small activities & then move higher up to ensure success.

Hi Revati,
Today's employees and today's work environment are much different than they were just a year ago. Creating strategies to make work fun can be element in creating a retention culture.
Every now and then we need to break up the normal monotony and do something different. Whether it is a once a year trip to the mountains or beach resorts, birthday celebrations etc .. these events build teamwork and can make a big difference. Small, informal celebrations are many times more effective than a once-a-year formal event.
However would suggest the following :-
1. Please review the existing systems/process of the Oganization and identify where the percieved factors leading to lack of motivation.
2. Job enrichment.
3. Review the following factors-
a. Compensation structure vis-a-vis competition
b. Opportunities for advancement
c. Good supervisor
d. Opportunity of training and learning.
e. Working conditions
Lastly, according to William Ouchi, employees are motivated if
a. He is given the life time employment in the organization.
b. His career is planned.
c. Gets to participate in decision making
d. All employees work as team with a minimum of superior- subordinate relationship.
e. People trust each other.
f. There is a holistics concern for worker's welfare.
Have a great day!

What is Your Motivation?
by Leonard Roos
Why do you do the things you do?
Why did you go to University?
Why are you working for that particular company?
Why did you skip University?
Why did you get married?
Why did you marry your spouse?
Why are you single?
Why are you doing that particular job?
Why do you drive that particular car?
Is it because somebody expects it from you?
Is it because you believe it is the right thing to do?
Is it because you feel you have no choice?
Is it because you want to be praised and admired?
Or do you do it, simply because everyone else is doing it?
The questions may seem trivial at first but later you will
see how important it is. It's importance lies in the fact
that being honest with yourself will help you identify the
following:
who you are,
where you are,
what you want,
where you want to be.
If you are where you want to be,
and if not, what you need to do to get there.
But before I continue let's first look at what I mean when I
talk of motivation. Motivation is normally used in two different
senses.
We may talk of motivation as a reason for doing something,
referring to the reason behind why you do what you do. For
example why you attended school or College. The answer may be,
because you want to be educated, so that you can get a job or
it may be because your parents expects it from you.
We may also talk of motivation or the lack of it, in relation to
having a particular drive to succeed in a particular area. For
example, if you are attending college or University, not because
you want it but because of your parents, you may not be motivated
enough. Hence you may not do what is required to pass and as a
consequence may fail or drop out altogether.
You see. Our inner motivation determines how much we put into
something and is directly related to the results we get, be it
success or failure.
Say for example you have a job, which you don't enjoy. It is
obvious that you will not put in as much into that job compared
to, if you enjoyed it.
For a company which is profit driven, this represents a problem
because if you are not motivated enough you may not meet their
performance objectives. This may result in you not being
promoted, being demoted or simply being retrenched.
Big Corporations spent millions annually on motivational
speakers, in an effort to motivate their workers, and improve
their bottom line. Why are workers not as motivated as they
should be? It is because billions of people in the world are
in jobs they don't enjoy.
This fact was vividly illustrated by a recent survey, which
found that more that more than 80% of all working adults in
North America don't enjoy what they do for a living. This
figure should increase to about 90% for the rest of the world,
considering that North America leads the world in terms of
entrepreneurial activity.
Let us take another example. Say for example you are in an
relationship, in which you don't want to be. Lets say you're
having problems and your partner decides you both need
counseling.
These problems are unlikely to be resolved by therapies which
aim to restore the relationship, if that is not what you both
want. As a result you may not be motivated enough to do what
is necessary to save it.
I'm not immune from asking myself these questions. I often find
myself having to admit that I'm doing things for the wrong
reasons.
I remember doing things for people, and being quite happy doing
it. However I discovered that I became unhappy when people didn't
show any appreciation for what I did. This actually caused me
to sit and think, why I am doing the things I did? Was it to
receive a Thank you, or did I do it because I have a desire to
do good and help others?
If you do it because you want to do good, it shouldn't bother you
whether someone says, thank you or not. This reminds me of what
is written in the Bible. If you only do good to those who are
good you are not doing anything special, because everyone wants
to return a favor or good deed.
But do good, even to those who are not good or have no way of
paying you back. If you do that you will have a reward in heaven.
The following is a sign that you are doing things for the wrong
reasons.
If you do something for someone and the person doesn't say thank
you or does something you don't like. Do you regret doing it?
So what does one do? Ask yourself these questions and be honest
with the answers. Depending on what the answers are, take action.
One of the keys to success and for that matter happiness, is
being honest with yourself, To do what you Want and Are Good at
and to Do it well.
