Employee Activities & Incentives
Counting on You (L):
Fill a large container with jellybeans, paper clips, marbles,
coins, M&Ms, or other small items. Announce the grand prize
beforehand and have staff guess ($1 to $5 donation per guess)
how many are in the container. You could also involve members
in this contest as well.
Crazy Hat Contest (L):
Let employees design wild hats to wear to work on a specified
day. For a specific donation, each participant will be entered
into prize categories. Winners can be determined by vote, by
committee or by an elected manager.
Dress Down Day (L):
Select a day in which individual staff can wear jeans, T-shirts
or other attire that differs from your credit union’s
dress code for a specified donation to Children's Miracle Network.
Put up signs or banners to announce the event, order stickers
displayed in this guidebook for participating staff members
to wear that explain the event’s purpose to members.
Early Paychecks (L):
If your credit union’s payroll setup allows for paychecks
to be handed out earlier than the scheduled day, make arrangements
for employees who donate a set amount to receive their paychecks
early.
Potluck Meal (L):
Employees prepare and bring potluck dishes for a breakfast or
lunch event before or during work, and all participants donate
a specified amount to eat. This could be set up as a one-day
event or on a weekly basis over an extended period.
Shaved Head Challenge (L):
A manager challenges employees to raise a predetermined amount
for Children's Miracle Network. If employees raise the funds
in the allotted time, a male manager could promise to shave
his head or a female manager could promise to cut or dye her
hair. When the challenge is met, have employees nearby to help
shave, dye or cut. Take lots of pictures!
Talent Show (H):
Let employees share their hidden talents! Choose a location,
organize an agenda of acts and select a panel of judges. Charge
an entrance fee for each act and separate fee for spectators.
This is a great chapter-wide fund raising event.
