would be clear cut in its meaning as a reward and the performance bonus would begin to mean something as well and could be used as a chance to discuss an employees job performance and the direction of the company and what that means to the employee and his or her position.We all know what it means to be deprived of time. The way it is today, everything you do has to be done “in a New York minute”. An added stress people have to worry about is not having time to do the little day-to-day things such as doctor’s appointments and the dry cleaning. Another way a company can motivate employees and keep stress down is to come up with solutions to their workers problems. For instance, the dry cleaning, find a service near by that will pick up and deliver from the office. What about grocery shopping? What would it be like to call in an order ready for pickup when you get off of work? Perhaps all those interested could turn in shopping lists one day a week or one day every two weeks for the receptionist to call in to a nearby grocery.Whatever the motivational techniques used, they should be customized to coincide with the corporate culture unique to the organization. They also need to be meaningful to the employees and used in ways that the purpose of the reward is obvious. There are all kinds of employees out there with different work ethics and a small amount of thought into the motivational techniques used by an organization can go a long way to getting those unique individuals working together in a more productive and profitable way.
