I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?

I have a group of four people who have worked together for the passed two years. They are stuck in a boring routine at the office and never see or work in the rest of the company. I want to motivate them and revitalise what we do as a department. But I'm worried they may be resistant to change. I've dealt with change management before but this is proving to be more difficult! Any advice or ideas are greatly welcomed!I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?
Team day away from the office doing some sort of challenges such as a ';Get out of that'; type scenarios to build up different ways of thinking, then arrange to visit other departments and work with them for a day or so.





Without knowing the actual business type you are in cannot go further with ideas, but developing teamwork and different ways of thinking by challenges and rewards is a step forward.





There are plenty of these type challenges on the web under team challenges or go to a specialist company who provide these things if work are willing to pay. It does improve relationships and reduce stress etc.I have a new team of people who I need to revitalise and motivate, any advice or ideas?
Offer incentives - work outings, BBQ's or bonuses.
A few ideas: 1) Could you arrange for members of your team (one at a time) to shadow other people in the company. Then arrange for a feedback session where each person cascades info on what they've done. That would give them a better insight into how the company operates and how each part fits into the overall structure of the company.


2) Organise some away-days. Often, time spent out of the office can be time well spent if you structure it properly - maybe get somone from another section of the company to join you.


3) Where are you based? If in the UK or Western Europe I can suggest and vouch for the team-building benefits of a Murder Mystery dinner where members of the team get to be detectives. Only problem is, one team of just four isn't really an option. Could you link with other sections of the company perhaps to make it a more of an ';event';? Cost wise it'll depend on whether you take a plot ';off the peg';, partly customised, or have one especially written (the latter will be more expensive).
The best thing to do is ask them how they think things could be improved %26amp; what they would like to see happen around the office. Make sure they know they will be listened to %26amp; be taken seriously. People always feel more confident if they know they can raise issues %26amp; collectively find a way forward. In my experience they come up with perfect solutions %26amp; feel more valued. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Good luck. You sound like a good boss 'cos you have taken the time to approach a potentially diffcult situation.
set them goals,then have awards when the goals are reached?
