The number one reason people leave their jobs is that they don’t feel appreciated, according to Dr. Donald Clifton. Employees that receive regular recognition and praise: - increase their own productivity - increase engagement among their coworkers - are more likely to stay with the organization longer - receive higher loyalty and satisfaction scores from customers (Gallup) But rewarding employees doesn’t have to cost money. Here are 20 ways to reward employees without spending any money: 1. Offer flexible hours 2. Offer telecommuting options 3. Acknowledge progress 4. Offer one or two bonus days off 5. Say thank you 6. Send the employee a handwritten letter 7. Praise them publicly at the next meeting 8. Send out a recognition email to the entire company 9. Create a "Hall of fame" in the lunch room 10. Introduce employees to customers or someone in senior management 11. Give employees access to a mentor (maybe you) 12. Use of the president"s office for a day 13. Allow them to dress casually on Fridays 14. Write them a LinkedIn recommendation 15. Let them swap jobs with someone for a day 16. Give them an exclusive parking spot 17. Let them volunteer at the organization of their choice 18. Let them work on a side project 19. Let the employee take a long lunch break 20. Let them bring their dog to work for a day You can read the full article at: http://www.officevibe.com/blog/horrible-boss-infographic You can download our free book about employee engagement: http://www.officevibe.com/resources/10-pillars-employee-engagement
