Happy Employee Appreciation Day!

Happy Employee Appreciation Day! Didn't know it was such an important day? Herndon Recognition is here to help!  Here are a few low to no cost ways to let your biggest assets know you appreciate them.  After all, they are what keep your business running right?

• Coffee Break!  Treat your staff to a round of coffee.  Whether you take individual orders or set up a station, it's sure to be a well-received gesture.
• Recognize your employee’s hard work by ending the day a couple hours early.  They will appreciate the extra time, especially being a Friday!
• Give your employees something they can use to make their Friday night even better like giving out free movie vouchers or gift cards to a nearby restaurant.
• Happy Hour:  It’s never too late to offer a happy hour outing to your employees.  They will appreciate the gesture and it’s a good way to bring the team together.

Whatever way you choose to improve your program, your employees will appreciate you for it! For more ideas on improving your employee recognition program, visit us at www.herndonrecognition.com.

Be in the Know!

Sometimes the best way to learn how to improve the atmosphere of your office is to simply do your research.  Lucky for you, Herndon Recognition has created a section on our website dedicated to just that.  “Our Knowledge Base” is your one-stop-shop for white papers, case studies and recommended books that share interesting and important information that will expand your knowledge on employee morale while providing you with the necessary tools in creating a positive environment in the workplace.

What often times is overlooked in an employee recognition program is the importance of the presentation, timing and the objectives of the program itself.   What is the goal of your program and even though the gesture is coming from a genuine place, are you relaying that to your employees?  Our “White Papers” section not only provides you information on why employee recognition programs work but also includes information on what pieces of the program truly make it successful.  In addition, while exploring our “Case Studies” section, you will examine the core of what motivates employees.  With a better understanding of your employees, you can provide an even more impactful recognition program.

If you’re looking for more tips and tricks to motivate your employees, try picking up some of our recommended books.  Under “Our Picks”, we’ve put together a sampling of our favorite books that not only share innovative and inexpensive ways to improve the workplace atmosphere but also how to improve results.

Although, we’ve made an effort to provide you with an extensive library of information on our website, don’t forget our phone lines are always open.  If you are ready to go to the next level with an excellent recognition program that fits your needs and budget, we are a here to take you there.
