Tip 4 - Reward staff who work well

Rewards are an important way of keeping your staff engaged and boosting morale. The simplest – and cheapest – reward is a heartfelt thank you. Always thank your staff when they do a good job, or go the extra mile.

You can also offer more tangible rewards. These include:

• monetary rewards or bonuses

• time off

• tickets to an event or a movie

• free meals

• staff get-togethers

• get-togethers involving staff and their families

• education for children

• books, DVDs

How long has it been since you shouted morning tea for your staff, or taken them out for a drink after work to thank them for a job well done?
