Ways to Reward Employees (Without Spending a Dime)
Adapted from an article written by Dan Tynan
1. Flex hours. Give a little latitude in determining work schedules and to take time for family or personal issues. As long as the employee is deserving and doesn’t abuse the privilege, this can go a long way to building trusting and mature relationships with key workers.
