Low Cost Ideas For Employee Appreciation

The soul of any business consists of the employees. While motivated employees pass on their goodwill and enthusiasm to the customers, disgruntled employees can suck the life out of the processes they perform. In this article we are going to discuss a few ideas of employee recognition which are not going to break your bank but which will keep your employee engaged and motivated at the same time.

  1. You can show a little gratitude to your employees by throwing a little cake or pizza party to honour them.
  2. You can make a sudden visit along with the CEO or other high executives and thank the employee in person.
  3. A surprise achievement celebration for your employee can help in boosting the morale of your employee. An ice cream sundae party in the accompaniment of good music is apt ways of letting your employee know that his hard work didn’t go unnoticed.
  4. Posting a ‘Thank You’ sign with the name of the employee in the lobby or cafeteria can be a good idea.
  5. You can always invite your employee for a one to one dinner or lunch and express your gratitude for his hard work.
