Tactics to boost morale

One of a golf club manager’s most important jobs is to keep spirits up in the work place. With stress levels sometimes high on busy days at golf facilities, this is not always easy to do. However, there are some strategies that a good golf manager can use.

Liven up your memos. Find a book of one liner’s, and include a joke at the bottom of your memos.

Take pictures! Every office has an aspiring photographer. Ask that person to take candid shots of employees, and add them “Humor Corner.”

Bring your smile to work. You’ll be surprised at the difference it makes especially in the golf industry. If the manager consistently has an upbeat attitude, the staff will as well.

    Implement an R&R program (awards and recognition). Employee of the month, quaterly employee of the month, employee and department of the year etc. Give out certificates, products from the golf shop, gift certificates for the shop etc. You’ll be suprised how far it will go among your staff, if they see that you recongnized thier hard work, and it will translate to others to do better. Also, hang pictures of the winners in the clubhouse for memebrs and guests to see, add to your newsltter.
    Thanks
