"If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your business." — Richard Branson
Objective
Boost employee retention and morale by surprising team members with unexpected appreciation lunches, ensuring they feel genuinely valued and celebrated for their contributions.
Facilitation Strategies:
• Host a themed "Thank You" taco or BBQ food truck pop-up on job sites, providing free lunches for craft workers and site staff to foster connection over a shared meal.
• Coordinate a daily "Surprise & Treat" cart hosted by project leaders, visiting different departments or trades each day with coffee, pastries, or ice cream.
• Provide meal delivery vouchers (e.g., UberEats or Grubhub) for hybrid and remote team members so they can order a catered lunch of their choice while joining a virtual appreciation gathering.
• Combine the meal with a site stand-down raffle featuring popular prizes like high-quality coolers, work gear, and gift cards to make the event memorable.
