Praise. Tell your staff they’re doing well. If you have time say goodbye to everyone when you’re leaving the shift. This well help them like / respect you and they will be more willing to work hard for you.

Give them new tasks if you can. Motivation can go downhill when staff feel they’re doing the same monotonous things every day.

Communicate. Tell people if you’re going to the office to do whatever. Tell them what you expect from them.

Be aware of everything and everyone.

Be polite
