3 Creative Ways to Use Inspirational Quotes in The Office

Whether you’re leading a team or just starting out, there are definitely days when your workplace can seem less than inspiring. On a rainy Monday morning you struggle to get started. On a sunny Wednesday afternoon you push past the midweek hump. No matter what day of the week, inspirational quotes remind you what you need to achieve and why, while delivering a quick boost in the workplace.

Inspirational Quote Vincent Van Gogh
At Enplug, we use digital signage to share inspirational content that looks as good as our modern office and also relates to team goals. But finding relevant inspirational quotes doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive. Here are three ways that any workplace can find inspirational content that will lift team spirits – and productivity.

3 Ways to Create and Share Inspirational Quotes in the Workplace

1. Crowdsource Inspiration in a Slack channel

Whether you’re in a creative space or a construction company, inspiring your employees shouldn’t just be a job for internal communications or human resources. To get your whole team involved, we recommend creating a Slack channel called #inspire and let your team participate in the conversation of inspiration. A few questions you can ask:
  • What inspires them?
  • What words motivate them?
  • Who are their idols?
  • What makes them excited to work at your company?

You’ll gather a unique set of quotes and content from your team members that can be shared in office communications. Solutions like Enplug’s software even allow you to display the Slack channel on TV screens around your office. Your own team members’ words will spark motivation when on display. When your team feels involved and their opinions are valued, not only do their engagement levels increase, but so does their productivity.

2. Surface Team Inspiration With a Survey

Create a survey with similar questions to those listed above and send it to your team. The data will reveal commonalities to help you understand how your colleagues work. Highlight the key results and share them with your entire team. Surveys offer a simple and impactful approach to kicking off a team meeting or setting the tone for a retreat.
