• Promote activities and offer incentives to encourage participation
• Ask senior management to participate in activities
• Make successful activities annual events
• Post photographs of activities in newsletters and on bulletin boards
• Share success stories that arise from activities
• The Magic of Making Up
• Plan to measure participation, satisfaction, and benefits
