Example: Your direct reports performed so well that you got a big increase in pay...and responsibility. Your leadership and organizational skills deserved to be rewarded. You know that your staff worked hard to meet the challenges and you want to reinforce that 'can do' attitude and commitment. And also, you were impressed with how well they worked together to reach a common goal. How can you make that happen every time?
Most management consultants would agree that ongoing acknowledgement is one of the best ways to motivate top performers, but how do you effectively acknowledge a team? Based on many years of experience serving a diverse group of corporations, we think that the most effective strategy is to reward each member of the team individually so that they truly feel acknowledged for their contributions, and not just for being a member of the team.
When you reward with i-Certs Gift Certificates, each member can choose which line suits his or her specific taste. Your employees won't lose sight of being part of a team since all of them will receive their gourmet shipments at the office. We are told that when employees receive their rewards, the climate is upbeat and productive. When you remind someone of their accomplishments, you give them power and confidence to meet new challenges!
Handcrafted products are exceptional rewards
for exceptional people
You may be surprised at how regular pats on the back can affect your entire division or company... everyone likes to know that you are aware of what they are doing and that you appreciate their efforts. So many times we call attention to what went wrong, but forget to do the same for what went right. Don't let your employees feel like doing a good job is just taken for granted! Don't lose opportunities to catch someone doing something well and set that behavior up as a benchmark.
