Having an inspired workforce is the dream, and at BrightCarbon we think giving your colleagues and employees a chance to be inspired outside of their day-to-day work is a really easy way to make this happen. Take inspiration from BrightCarbon's stories and try it out for yourself!

1. One easy way to
your workforce
INSPIRE

2. Did you know you had the POWER to inspire your entire workforce?

3. Yeah I know, makes you feel kind of important

4. But think about it – an inspired workforce is a happy workforce…
But think about it –
an inspired workforce is
a happy workforce…

5. But think about it – an inspired workforce is a happy workforce…
…is a workforce willing to
push creative boundaries
(and other fanciful things).

6. But think about it – an inspired workforce is a happy workforce…
And like I said, you can do it.
With one idea (that you can take to management or,
if you have the cheque book, bring about yourselves)

7. Welcome to the
INSPIRATION FUND

8. Giving your team members an allowance to spend every year on inspiring
themselves, is a great way to give your workforce the MOTIVATION to get inspired.

9. It’s funny – if you get a salary increase the
same amount as the Inspiration Fund…
…most people wouldn’t notice – or spend it
on things like food, and Netflix, and petrol.

10. But…
giving a specific fund for use only in cases of extreme inspiration…

11. …suddenly gives people the boost they need to try something new…

12. …Improve a skill

13. …find out a little more about something

14. …and have a happier work/life balance

15. Meet Bethany
she’s been learning some Macrame and weaving

16. ?? ?
Sandy turned up at a class without knowing how to use a sewing machine.

17. She left it having made a dress

18. Shay decided he was going to pick up an old skill
and do some portrait painting.

19. (We’ll get him to draw our company headshots before long)

20. Shee’s going to try his hand at screen-printing

21. We’re envisaging a full clothing range when he’s done.

22. Anna did something a bit different and attended a conference
all about how people relate to each other at work.

23. Relationships matter,
and we need to figure out how
we measure, assess and address
the relational strength or weakness
of an organisation

24. Lizzie and Hannah turned their worlds
upsidedown

25. Hannah is getting to grips with the finer points of aerial hoop

26. #delusionsofgrandeur
#aimhigh

27. Lizzie did a course on yoga inversions
and got to hang out with some real experts

28. And Luke fancies himself as a bit of a composer

29. More like this…

30. You can see we’re a pretty diverse group of people
and different things inspire us

31. And it’s so nice to discover what inspires people
and the things they want to try out or get better at

32. But all it took was a little motivation to get us started

33. It gives us something to talk about at the water cooler

34. It gives us great transferable skills

35. And it really helps our work/life balance

36. Try it out and get ready to be
INSPIRED
