Hello Dear,

Positive recognition is one of the mightiest of motivating factors at work. Sincere appreciation of a job well done goes far. Creative rewards such as gift certificates, an afternoon off, a special parking spot, a massage or facial, a round of golf, a new title, or being mentioned in the company newsletter are but a few ways to recognize employees.

• Build team spirit

• Recognize accomplishments

• Eliminate boundaries

• Build career path – This career path program includes the progress employees need to make to get a promotion, quarterly updates on their progress and periodic plans with company – assigned mentors.

• Discover what makes each person tick – Instead of creating a program that addresses the entire company; try individualizing your motivational program. By collecting very specific information on each employee, you can create employee-tailored services that speak to their specific needs.

• Reward creativity – Submit ideas via mail. The winners with the best ideas, who are chosen on a quarterly basis, receive funds and time to develop their ideas. Runners-up receive an award and recognition as well.

• Offer interesting perk

• Ask for feedback and act on it - Too many employees feel that their knowledge goes unheard and unappreciated. A culture that fosters feedback makes people feel wanted and understood. But listening is not enough; you have to also act on their suggestions and feedback if you are going to make your employees feel more motivated.

• Offer flexible work arrangement

• Group rewards may be appropriate, but don't undermine individual initiative.

I hope, This will help you out..

Wish you all the best,
