Providing Praise
There are different strategies for motivating employees to keep a business running smoothly. Margit Fawbush, communications manager for BIC Graphic in Clearwater, Fla., stressed the effect awards have on long-term motivation.
"There is a difference between short-term motivation and recognition," said Fawbush. "Gift cards, team luncheons, cash and travel motivate for short-term goals. Tangible rewards that are kept, and therefore remembered, are tied to psychological well-being."
