Let’s start with this story of the monthly Shining Star award at Deloitte. It’s worth $50 in voucher and can be won by an individual or a team. The high point of the prize is the fun part where everyone shares drinks and snacks. Now, yours doesn’t have to be a monetary reward. It can either be in the form of public recognition at the next staff briefing.
Appreciating employees can come in the form of gifts. The gifts can be tailored to the employees’ interest and hobbies, let’s say cycling or culinary classes. You can even go a step higher with getaways or even smart devices. This is a level higher than just gifting them a $100 gift card.
What of employees’ birthdays? There’s no better time to remind them how valuable they have been to the firm in the past 365 days. Give them the day off on their birthdays and maybe surprise them with the trending smart home divide they have been raving about all year.
Now, on your social media profiles, recognize staffs by highlighting what they’ve done for the business and why the company considers it a great deed. Other ideas you can consider include wall of fame, spontaneous treats, commute help, peer recognition program and much more.
