Motivation. It can come from inside a person’s character, from interactions with inspiring peers, and sometimes even from a poster hanging in a conference room. These last, however, have historically been more cringe-worthy than actually motivational.
You know the ones we mean--glossy photos of golf courses at dawn with a little saying that kind of makes you want to throw your coffee cup right at it.
Here, then, are 10 alternatives--posters that won’t make your employees cringe, In fact, they may actually work to encourage employee engagement and a sense of being part of a team.
Or they may just get a laugh, which is also a good thing to hear at work.
