Spotlight Your Employees
Pick a timeframe when you want to spotlight one of your employees; e.g., monthly or quarterly. Take their picture and ask them questions about not just themselves (wife/kids; hobbies, etc.) but also what they like about the work they do for the company. You might even have a parking spot allocated for the spotlighted employee to use during his 'spotlight period.'
Print these out on a single sheet of paper so they can be used for a handout to the other employees. This lets employees get to know each other better on a personal level. They often find they have things in common with other employees and so gain talking points with each other.
The employee spotlights are also great to post onto your social media sites and website. In the case of spotlighted sweeper operators, you may even want to include the handout with the invoices that go to companies on that employee's route.
