Recognize or provide incentives for your employees in a customized manner (onesize does not fit all)

Ensure recognition is timely and focuses on achievements

Reward your employees with appropriate and individualized tools, (i.e. a $20 gascard would not be a motivator for someone that telecommutes)

Make recognition a priority utilizing formal and informal methods ensure you dothis on a regular basis

Get creative, some of the best recognition is low cost but high in creativity

Organize a share and tell day, where employees get together and share what theydo within the company and how their job fits into the bigger picture
