To encourage creative thinking is like digging the potentials of the staff, There are many ways to arise and discover creativity, through workshop, group dynamic and brainstorming or any other related activities. However, to encourage such, there should be a token, plaque, certificate, recognition, or any valuable things awaits for those who contribute excellent creative thinking and this will highlighted also through promotion of the job position.
• Give your staff the time and the space to be imaginative and creative. Apple is a great example of a company which has benefited enormously from this. Up to a fifth of their working day is given to creative thinking sessions. Innovation is a key characteristic of the company so it is vital for Apple to inspire staff and to give them the space to be original.
• Constantly question yourself and your working practices. Instead of sticking with tried and tested methods, business leaders should always be thinking of alternative approaches when it comes to solving issues and problems. Simply posing the question can lead to new ideas and projects, which opens up valuable income streams.
• Encourage people to work in groups. That way, ideas can be shared along with responsibility and the credit for success. A company which has an overly competitive and individualistic culture can stifle creativity.
• Not every idea is going to be a great idea but it is important not to ridicule people who are brave enough to think differently from the rest of us. If people are scared of being mocked then they are going to be reluctant to step forward with new ideas.
• Running a business and hitting targets is serious as people’s livelihoods rely on the success of a company - but the creative process needs to be fun. If you want to inspire people to think differently then you have to create the right culture and environment to allow them to do just that.
Embrace and encourage new ideas. Let each employee lead his idea and give him/her the time and space to bring their idea and creative thinking into life.
Creativity can be a difficult notion to grasp but it is a key talent that is always found at the heart of any successful company. I would say that true creativity, along with drive and self-belief, are the defining characteristics of any successful entrepreneur.
Thanks
I support the answer which given by my colleague Marwan
For Me its best that in a workplace, there are events like teambuilding and brainstorming events. Plus if you put or make your employees freedom to renovate their desk plus adding some creative digest things in the workplace like good musics. It will stimulate creative thinking and perspective to each one of them.

Creativity is encouraged by : a leadership that supports thinking outside the box by soliciting input in formal and informal ways, by asking staff to find group solutions to their challenges, by placing staff in an unusual professional situation and asking them to come up with a solution, by having a relaxed and stimulating work environment (lighting, colors, music).
