Employees have always been the backbone of any company. As creative and innovative as its leaders may be, the success or failure of a business can often be determined by its workers. They’re an integral part that no industry can live without. This is why authority figures come up with ways to not just make their tasks reasonably more convenient to achieve, but also the mandatory bonuses to recognise their accomplishments and achievements within the company. Even if we have to work within a budget, it doesn’t necessarily mean that some measure of recompense isn’t possible. Here are just a few frugal and economical ways to reward your employees.
- Give them chocolates
One unique way of rewarding your employees and showing them appreciation for their hard work is by giving them personalised chocolate. It’s a new and popular twist to what would otherwise be a bland and uninspired reward, and will no doubt make them happy and much more productive.
- Give them extra time off
Work can be physically and mentally exhausting, but we still tend to underestimate what a little more time away from it can do. Allowing an employee to have extra time off from work, be it an extended lunch or break period, can be not just a good reward, but a goal that they’ll no doubt work hard to attain.
- Recognise your employees
Rewards are usually associated with material value, but even the simplest forms of action that allow them to be recognised can have the same desired effect. Sincere words of gratitude and perhaps even a company-wide email can go a long way in raising the morale of an employee. We all want to be recognised for our accomplishments after all, and it will cost you no more than just a few minutes of your time.
- Throw a small party for them
Employee morale is an important aspect of a company’s growth and productivity. What better way to accomplish this than by throwing a small party for your workers. It doesn’t need to be extravagant, and most of them will certainly enjoy some inexpensive food and drinks. Perhaps the one perk of doing this is that it allows you to properly recognise your workers and get to know them even better.
These are just four of many inexpensive ways to celebrate employee accomplishments. While they may certainly seem simple, the effect they will have on individual employees and everyone else can be invaluable to the company. There’s hardly any point in not doing them either, since they require very little effort and even less expenditure on your part. Respect your workers by giving credit where it’s due, and they’ll do their best for you.
