Building and maintaining a great team is the key to your community's or company's success. Putting that fact aside, building and maintaining a happy motivated team is KEY to YOUR SUCCESS. Today I am sharing with you No-Cost and Low-Cost Ways to Reward Your Employees.
There's no time like the present to reward and recognize our employees for dedication and hard work. Believe me; I know that the average budget for such employee recognition is usually slim to non-existent. Of course it's always preferable to offer a "cost" reward to our hard-working achievers when it's appropriate and feasible to do so; but if you're faced with the need to get creative with your employee recognition programs there are plenty of low- to no-cost ways to say thanks for a job well done. Low- and no-cost rewards are a great way to build and maintain morale throughout the year. Here are just a few of my favorites.
· Put it in writing. Instead of just handing out paychecks and mumbling "thanks" try to take a few min-utes and reflect back on the week first. Recall something each employee did and write a quick note of thanks. You can even simply jot something nice on the check stub or envelope that recognizes an em-ployee's special accomplishments for the week. My notes are usually no more than five to ten words. I made this a habit every week when I was a Property Manager.
· Call an employee into your office just to say thanks. Don't discuss anything else. It takes two minutes or less. If you have a little extra time on your hands and if it's appropriate, it's a nice gesture to ask the employee if there's anything specific they'd like to discuss while they have your undivided attention. The first time you call them in they may be a little nervous :)
· Post a thank-you note on the employee's office door, desk or general work area for everyone else to see. Leaving flowers or a plant on a valued employee's desk is also a nice way to say thanks in front of everyone. You'll be surprised at how the rest of the team will continue the good will.
· Have the employee's car washed in the parking lot during lunch. Leave a brief note under a windshield wiper that reads "A sparkling car for a sparkling performer! Thanks for a job well done!" I hired teenagers who lived in the community to wash the cars. Recognition isn't trivial when it comes to job satisfaction. In fact, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recently conducted a survey on the subject. Sixty-eight percent of the respondents said it's important to them that their work is appreciated by others; sixty-three percent agreed that most people would like more recognition; and sixty-seven percent said that most people need appreciation for their work. Isn't it time to thank your employees for their dedication and support? There's no reason not to - now that you can do it without breaking your budget! http://multifamilypro.com/
