Every company, whether you are small or a large corporation, is always striving to create an efficient work area. Having an efficient office not only means gains and more success for the business it means that your employees actually enjoy their job. There is nothing more disheartening for a worker who goes to their office with a sense of gloom as they cannot face another day of the work or the sort of environment they work in. Rewarding and recognizing employees is one way to be certain that your environment is friendly and a wonderful place to work. While there are a variety of different options to recognize employees, here are a few to help you on your way to an efficient and profitable workforce.
- Birthdays
An employee recognition programs for their hard work is important and goes a long way in motivating and creating a pleasant work environment. However, you should not under-estimate the personal touch. A worker’s birthday is a excellent way do show the work staff the company really cares about every one of them and it is not all about making money. Assign someone in each department to keep track of everyone’s birthday and purchase presents for them and have a cake to celebrate during office hours. Gifts do not have to be pricey gift cards, vouchers, food baskets etc., so long as some actual effort was done to make the presents private. Such as gift wrap and hand writing a private card or message.
- Attendance rewards
This appears to be a popular option many businesses are adopting. And for good reasons. The more your employees show up for work, the more effective the business will be. Offering rewards in the form of a bonus or corporate gifts will provide the worker a strong incentive to not miss any work days. The value of this bonus or present has to be high, otherwise the workers will not see it as a substantial enough reward to justify any consideration.
- Employee reviews
Most firms have annual, quarterly or monthly employee testimonials. A fantastic way to motive employees would be to give out bonuses or corporate gifts to people with great reviews. Reward employees for all their hard work and for achievement in their jobs. This will go a long-way in preventing high worker turnover and encourage people to remain with the business.
