1. Build morale through teamwork outside the office – in sports activities. Form company teams for soccer, basketball, squash, etc. Get employees to participate in inter-company competitions, e.g. athletics, swimming events and so on.

2. Introduce regular staff meetings which will enable staff at all levels to participate in decision-making.

3. Set up regular small-group meetings to share ideas, develop plans and help prepare budgets. Also, start an ‘Employee of the Month' scheme. Everyone has to nominate someone, giving reasons why they should be nominated.

4. Make sure that the CE gets out of his office frequently during the first year and drops in on staff at different Orbit stores.

5. Encourage staff through meetings and a newsletter (to be edited on a monthly rotating basis by different senior managers) to give ideas and suggestions. There would be cash rewards for the best ideas.

6. Set up a profit-sharing scheme for all employees related to increased productivity and profits.

7. Cancel the end-of-year bonus scheme. Spend some money instead on a spectacular Christmas dinner and party at a luxurious hotel.

8. Organize one-to-one meetings with senior managers to build morale and generate ideas. Agree targets and objectives with senior managers, who share them with other staff members at regular seminars.

9. Have an open-door policy in every store. Employees can see the managers whenever they are available.

10.Create career development plans for all staff, which would involve consultations with each employee.
