Motivate Your Staff With Incentives

Staffing a childcare center with dependable staff can be a challenge for Center Owners and Directors. In fact, I must say that when a center is not staffed with dependable staff, it can have a negative affect on the center. Most of all, this is why it is important to have dependable staff on your team and systems in place that motivates good attendance and excellent performance.

I recently incorporated a point system to keep track of staff tardies and unexcused absences. Also, I incorporated an incentive system to encourage the staff to show up on time and to consider our point system before calling off. In fact since we incorporated the point system, there has been fewer tardies and no call offs.

I’m not claiming to have the answer to all your staffing issues, however, I felt led to share with you what has worked for my center.

  1. My Director bought a spin wheel for the staff to spin when they have no tardies or call off for each month of employment.
  2. We also reward the lead teachers for decorating their classrooms with our curriculum theme in mind. The teacher with the best creativity wins a gift basket and a gift card.

This new incentive system has added accountability and also motivated our staff. What are your thoughts about this post and has this post inspired you to reward punctuality? Please feel free to share your thoughts..

A Successful Business begins with Your Focus

As I think back over my most productive and successful years in business, I saw one thing that I did consistently that year and it was……. Focus!

In fact, I discovered that whatever I focused on that year was accomplished!

Today I want to inspire you to take some time and write down what you want to see manifest in your business this year and focus on that.

Also, I want to encourage you to close your eyes 15 minutes a day and see yourself living your goals.

If you feel stuck and need some assistance with your business goals, I’m available for business coaching.

It’s time to manifest success and see your goals become a reality this year!
