Create
a collage of photos that are special to the employees. Each person
would hang one snapshot by the water cooler. Examples would be their
children, pets, house, car, or spouse. Have a contest to guess whose
pictures are whose. This works well for medical staff retention, too. |

Hire
for attitude and train for skill. A good attitude will rub-off on
other employees. People like to go to a business that enjoys being
in business.
Ask Robin about an employee recognition speech. |

Reward
people often with praise. As a reminder, start your day with 3 marbles
in your left pocket. Each time you give someone a compliment, move
a marble from your left pocket to your right one. At the end of the
day the goal is to have a full right pocket and increased morale.

Create
a sense of spirit by giving to others. Cohesiveness is built with
a challenge of helping those less fortunate. Have a “Christmas in
July” day organized to help the elderly or infirm by painting their
house, fixing their fence or washing their windows. |

Have a program where awards are given to employees in an employee recognition speech. Recognize employees
who are the most creative in serving the customer.
A customer who feels cared about will buy more and stay longer when
a relationship has been developed. The most effective way to demonstrate
caring is for employees to help them in solving their problems, even
if it means selling them a lower priced item or nothing at all! The
customer will be a customer for life and the employee will feel they
have really helped someone.

Offer
the employees a fun-hour during the week as a reward for a job well
done. As achievable goals are established and communicated to employees,
they will know that they will get recognition when the goals are achieved
or exceeded. An hour of fun to take a walk, window shop or call a
friend makes them feel appreciated. |

It
feels special to be treated with a surprise. Take employees to an
afternoon movie as a surprise after a big project is complete. The
company pays for admission and snacks from the concession stand. For
those people who cannot attend, give them free passes for a later
day. |

When
people are late for a meeting, charge them a small sum of 50 cents
or one dollar. Every three or four months use the money for a “fun
grant.” This grant money will be used to buy something to make the
office a more fun place. |

When
congratulating someone, give them a Kudos candy bar. When someone
has saved the day, give them a roll of Lifesavers candy. Let them
know specifically why you are recognizing and rewarding them. |
