When rewarding employees, it is not about how flashy or how expensive the award is, as rewards should come with a personal touch. Majority of small businesses do not have large sums of cash to motivate their employees, so they do not make any effort to give their workers incentives. By doing this, small business owners assume that money is the only way to reward employees, and they tend to ignore rewards programs. All businesses should have a sound employee’s reward program in place, as this is crucial for creating a positive work environment, getting results and motivating employees. Small businesses in particular should never try and create an elaborate or expensive program initially, rather build your awards programs up over time.
Building a foundation from the start is one of the most important ways in which you can reward employees. Create a work environment that continuously rewards your employee’s accomplishments. Rewards will mean nothing, without a positive work environment. It is all about respectful relationships and boils down to inherent recognition and the way employees are treated. Managers and employers need to make their staff feel that you have a genuine interest in them. Small business owners have interactions with their employees on a daily basis, so one should take full advantage of the accessibility and contact. Employers should always be straightforward and open and take an interest in their employee’s life beyond work, and also find ways in which to make their jobs better and more interesting.
Employee awards and staff awards programs will show employees that you are paying attention with regards to the daily tasks. Regular verbal awards such as stating “good work” in meetings or sending a card that is hand written, will mean a lot and will also stir incentive. Researchers have revealed that the more money spent on rewarding employees, the less likely business owners will see positive results. When devising an employee rewards program, think of rewards that are creative and that cost a minimal amount of money or no money. A good incentive is time off, as employees enjoy extra time off and it is low cost, and also shows the employee that they deserve the extra time off for putting in extra effort.
Staff awards demonstrate business owners or managers selflessness, but carry a lot of significance. One can also create a peer recognition rewards program whereby the employees do their own rewarding. Employees will feel not only recognized by their managers employers but are also recognized by their co-workers. The most important recognition given to employees is from their employer and their supervisor.
