Teamwork

Teamwork is key to the success of any business. Self Storage is no exception and should strive to build a fun, energetic atmosphere. Some exciting ideas to help encourage teamwork are:

• set a goal for your employees to reach and have a party when they’ve reached it. Use occupancy rates, reservations, secret shopping scores, etc. for some ideas to set goals.

• Have a short contest. Randomly pick teams and choose what the contest will be. Entice the teams with a prize they can all share together.

• Give your employees gift cards, candy, and prizes out of the blue and not necessarily for any reason. This will boost them up and make them want to keep doing a great job.

Be creative and let the employees get involved when setting up the details of your goals.

It’s also important to the teamwork atmosphere to have a fair and safe working environment. Don’t delay in addressing conflict; the longer it’s ignored the more it can grow. Productivity reflects in employee performance if conflict is allowed to go unchecked. Your employees will appreciate a calm workplace and your business will appreciate a smoother operation. This is not a sales technique but can definitely lead to a sales increase in profit.
