What Will It Take To Motivate Me?
Motivational
Reward Ideas
If you are searching for just the right way
to recognize someone for his or her superior work and motivation,
you can select something that will say thank you in just the
right way. By recognizing the work of others, you can
motivate that person to keep working and to feel better about them selves.
There are other ways besides money that can recognize a person
for a job well done.
A motivational poster is one way to recognize a person who
has made a difference. These are inexpensive and appreciated.
You can purchase posters that reflect the value that person
represents. It will serve as a kind, visual reminder of a job
that was performed beyond expectations.
Gift
certificates are another great way to recognize the hard
work of an individual. If you do not know what types of places
they prefer, you can give them certificates to rent movies
or to fast food places. These gift certificates do not necessarily
have to be in large amounts either; even as little as five
dollars will be appreciated.
Give the person merchandise with the organization’s logo on
it. You can purchase shirts, jackets, and hats and even ink
pens that advertise almost any organization or business. Most
people enjoy this type of merchandise and it can be custom
made, too. If you do not have a logo, try sponsoring a contest
where others can design a logo.
When you want to thank someone for their dedication and motivation,
look at the many engraved items that you can purchase. You
can purchase pens, lapel pins, clocks, paperweights and letter
openers, just to name a few, and have them engraved for the
recipient. Consider adding a snappy phrase such as “great teamwork”
or “job well done” so that the person knows that the work they
do is much appreciated.
You can also say thank you by giving personalized
gifts that
will fit the taste of the recipient. Think about what they
like to do or enjoy. Maybe tickets to a show or a movie or
a gift card for a dinner to their favorite restaurant. When
you have picked out a gift to fit the taste of the person you
are giving it to, they will know that you put in thought in
the gift and they will feel special.
Think about gift
baskets made that will fit the personal taste
of anyone to give as gifts to say thank you. If you want to
reward a whole team at once for their hard work, consider a
large gift basket of cookies or popcorn that they can share.
This is always a great idea and is much appreciated.
Use other containers to use for gifts to thank someone for
their motivation and dedication. You can give a nice plant
in a reusable pot or basket. You might even consider giving
a container filled with a nice set of desk supplies that can
be used over and over again. Not only will your recipient appreciate
a useful gift, but also it will help them stay organized while
working at their desk.
Chocolate makes almost anyone smile. If you give someone a
gift of chocolate, you can be sure that they will love and
appreciate the gift. Look at gift stores and find chocolates
that are custom wrapped or those that come in nice boxes. Giving
chocolate as a thank you will be a festive way of saying we
appreciate you.
If you do not want to give chocolate, consider other foods
as a way of saying thank you. You can give desserts, such as
cookies or cakes to your recipient. Most anyone can appreciate
a good sweet dessert and it is an easy way to tell that person
that you are proud of the work that they do for you.
Last of all, you can’t go wrong with a nice handwritten
note to say thank you. Often this is not only the easiest way, but
also a heartfelt thank you is much more appreciated. Take the
time to write a sentiment that you truly feel and that person
will know that you appreciate them and their job. Find some
good quality stationery and write the thank you card in a timely
manner. This is often the best and most sincere way to thank
someone.
