Rewards aren’t bribes. They are not carrots you dangle in front
of team members so you can expect decent performance. Rewards
are important aspects of performance management, however. We
all expect positive consequences for positive effort — and it
doesn’t necessarily have to involve money.
Here are a few examples of the little “extras” that will
communicate 1) your appreciation for positive change in
employee performance and 2) your intention to respond positively
to such accomplishment in the future.
Rewards- Use of the company tickets to a sporting event
- Gift certificate to dinner and/or a movie
- Written or verbal acknowledgment in the presence of
peers and/or superiors - Personal time off
- Extended lunch or break time(s)
- Work-related gift (pen, pocket calendar, desk plant, etc.)
- Special outside training events
- Promotion
- Bonus or salary increase
The Counselor Role: Confrontation and CorrectionRewards aren’t
bribes.
