How to reward good work…
- Pats on the back
- Say “good job”
- Give an award
- Write them a letter
- Give them coins and pins
- Promote them early
- Give head-of-line privileges
- Publicly recognize them
- Give them a cookie
- Give them a second chance
- Listen to their concerns
- Do something about their concerns
- Let them try new ways of doing business
- Give them a duty-free day
- Give them a day or two off
- Provide new tools to do their work
- Invite them to lunch
- Explain the future
- Explain their future
- Treat them like equals… in fact, treat them like you could be working for THEM someday.
