Don't Feel Neglected!

This week we have been really conscious about not spending enough time investing in our team - more specifically our company culture. We are fortunate enough to be quite busy at the moment (*touches the wooden table) but it does mean everyone's calendars are back to back filled and that leaves very little room to get everyone together - let alone chat to them. I have been super conscious of this fact and I hate the feeling that any member of the team could be feeling undervalued or distant at any time. As a result, you are most likely going to be seeing us doing more activities but in addition to this here are 3 things we are going to be doing to help keep our team engaged going forward (please feel free to use some of these yourselves):

1. Introduce small incentives such as a ￡20 Amazon Gift card when someone has tackled a particularly tough project or completed an outstanding bit of work.
2. Launching daily company updates and doing fun activities during the day over our morning Zoom calls - puzzles and games to get our minds moving.
3. Talking to team members 1 to 1 each week to see what they like and don’t like during the working week and what support or changes we can give them.As always we will let you know how this goes.

Oh and if you haven’t done this already we would highly recommend doing a team paddle-boarding exercise. We did this one at St Andrews Lakes: https://www.standrewswatersports.co.uk/

Modus Motivation -? Let’s End Procrastination!

Procrastination is a pain in the arse. Lots of us can agree on this but this week we intend to finish Friday undefeated, by hitting all of our targets and completing all those laborious bits as fast as possible. Starting today we have re-designed everyone's calendars to allow for all eventualities that take place in the day. This is a process called timeboxing where we schedule time for breaks, time for conversation and project development but most importantly time for us to crack on and get shit done.

If you need more information on this check here.

We will let you know how this timeboxing works out as all these get-help experts seem to think this is the way to end procrastination. If this makes us super productive we might consider the 4-day working week ??

Modus News - Christmas Has Come Early!?

We have been busy filming some Christmas promo videos for a few of our clients and have had a blast doing it! Though it is really surreal getting festive this early in the year. This is also a great moment to talk directly to you business owners who are reading this article - ready to get some Christmas marketing prepped? Honestly, you’d be surprised at what we can do to help you maximize sales and engagement.

Thoughts For The Week

I had to share this with you it's mental. AI can translate what you say into any language and it still sounds like you? Bloody hell!
