  • Five Unusual Ways to Recognize Employees

By Mary Cantando0 Comments

We all know that money is important to employees but what actually motives them to perform at optimum level is personal recognition. In fact, many surveys point out that the key motivating factor for employees is appreciation and recognition.

Here are five key ways to appreciate and recognize your employees.

Five Unusual Ways to Recognize Employees

1. Create a “Wall of Fame.”

In a prominent place, hang a bulletin board on which you post emails or letters from customers or vendors praising individual employees.

2. Treat them like VIPs.

Find out how they spend their time off-hours and set up discounts for them with theaters, restaurants, or sporting facilities. This is something they’ll share with their friends and promote on social media…telling the world that your firm is a great place to work.

3. Create a Family Day.

Set aside an afternoon and encourage your employees to bring their family into the workplace for a picnic lunch.

4. Send a gift certificate to an employee’s spouse or partner. 

Include a hand-written note thanking them for their support during the employee's period of overtime.

5. Go to lunch with each employee on a quarterly basis.

Ask each one, "What do we need to do to keep you on our team long term?"

Five Beliefs That Will Take You Far in Life

I’ve often been referred to as a “Pollyanna” because I really believe that no matter what you’ve got going on in your life, you can make it truly great. I’m not saying that it is easy to make it great, but if you make that decision and are willing to work on the changes required, I believe that anyone can have a great life.

Here are five concepts that can move you in that direction.
