All things being equal, people who feel appreciated by their employers are always better employees than those who receive infrequent (or negative) feedback about their productivity and performance. Despite that companies are increasingly working within strangled budgets, it's important to always think about ways you can carve out a little coin to reward your superstars.
As a business owner, you're always striving to maintain experience and continuity among your staff, so the important thing to remember about employee incentives is, you don't wait five years to recognize employees you wish to retain. Think 90 days instead. Longer-term recognition programs have helped companies buck the turnover trend. For example, Jenny Craig honors employees at five year intervals starting at year 10 with points toward prizes, a recognition page on the company’s nationwide Intranet site, and a special symbol worn on employee name tags.
Omaha Promos can help you create goals and action plans for your employee incentive program. It doesn't have to be complicated or cost an arm and a leg, but fairness, clarity and consistency are key. From there, we can guide you through a diverse array of employee gifts in a price-point to suit whatever budget you have and whatever achievement or tenure you choose to celebrate with your staff.
For everything from small but meaningful indulgences up to 10, 15, 20 or "lifetime" career achievements, see Omaha Promos for all your employee incentive/employee gift needs. There is no better time than the New Year to take a fresh approach to the manner and frequency with which you provide feedback to your people. And trust us here, the small investment pays real dividends.
