People don’t work for free! Studies have shown that people aren’t actually motivated by money! They are more motivated intrinsically by the job they do. To keep your people motivated, it’s important to make them feel like they have sense of purpose and are appreciated. That’s where reward and recognition programs can be effective. Some ideas include:

• Opportunities for advancement
• Bonus structure
• Employee of the month
• Individual recognition awards
• Team recognition awards
• Selective entry to programs
• Social functions
