Everyone knows that rewarding employees for their hard work is important (you do know that right?). Equally everyone knows that currently money is tight and the discretionary employee reward bucket is pretty low to empty. But without some form of recognition then morale is going to plummet and your organisation could suffer. So how can you reward your employees without breaking the bank? Well here are five ideas that you might consider.

1. 6 ways to
reward staff
that are free
or don’t cost
the earth

2. Say Thanks
It’s amazing what the power of such a
seemingly small gesture such as saying thanks
can do. And it doesn’t have to be verbal either.

3. Time off
Grant some time off, such as a half day. It could
make a real difference.

4. 20% Time
20% time projects now represent around 25%
of Google’s annual revenue so it can be a
profitable way of working and rewarding for the
individual too.

5. Buy round of coffees
Or ice creams when the weather’s hot and the
air conditioning’s on the blink. Oh, and don’t
send someone to get them and provide the
money. Be a team player and go yourself!

6. Wash their Car
Why not pay for a quick run through the local
car wash. Everyone feels better when their car
is gleaming. For extra brownie points and
saving money, clean it yourself!.

7. Cinema Trip
Everyone likes a night out and the cinema is a
cheap(ish) way of rewarding people. Make it a
pair of tickets so they can take a partner too
and both will thank you.
