I found a little something that I would like to blog about in Chapter 7 in the textbook. Rewarding employees for results is an excellent way to keep the employees motivated. Incentives do matter. The rewards do not always have to be monetary. Often in fact it should not be pay increases or bonuses. An employee of the month program could for example allow the employee to park in a special parking space or that employee might be rewarded with an extra payed time off from work. It’s important to remember not just to reward these employees but to also recognize them in front of their peers. There are many employees that would be driven to higher levels of performance by something as simple as a mass e-mail thanking and recognizing them for their accomplishments that were above and beyond the norm. This would even work if an employee was thanked in a company newsletter and maybe compensated with a gift certificate to a local restaurant or for a spa treatment. Sometimes just something small can go a long way to increasing employee satisfaction and overall productivity. These type of incentives create competition among employees.
When they get paid thats there incentive. I dont understand why people feel that they deserve something extra because you sowed up for work and do your job? Do employees ever say thank you when thay get there check? Nope you know why? Becuase they earned that check thru working and thats there incentive . When they pay there light bill thats an incentive. Workers have become spoiled
