Inspire Your Employees with Rewards

Rewards can be many different things as long as it connects you with your team

Inspire your employees with rewards and acknowledgments with their peers. Note that rewards take several different directions. Here are a few things that a reward can be:

  • Monetary award
  • Extra paid time off
  • Advancement or at least opportunity for advancement
  • A title
  • A badge
  • Recognition among their peers
  • A simple thank you
  • A special parking space for the month
  • I bet you haven’t thought of it, but a plaque
  • A gift card

And you have a list a mile long. Use what works for you and your team. Be creative and try many things until you find what resonates, but don’t become stale because if you do the employee may think you don’t really care.

Don’t lose the team’s trust in you, the program, or the company. It is difficult to regain that trust once it is lost. This also applies to your clients. They need and require trust in us and everyone involved in the buying experience.
