SURPRISE EMPLOYEES

• Although appreciation can diminish over time,
  strive to do the unexpected--from handing out
  free Chicago Cubs tickets to spot bonuses at
  company meetings for excellence...Constantly
  surprising your employees will carry more
  momentum within your organization than one-off
  gifts.- Jon Morris, Inc. Magazine

MAKE SURE THAT EMPLOYEES HAVE TIME FOR F U N

• Summer weather is actually a real business
  opportunity. Team members and employees will
  appreciate the chance to get fresh air and
  sunlight and have some fun. The perception that
  such frolicking will lead to a decrease in
  productivity is, in most cases, not backed up by
  research or reality. In fact, the opposite is
  true fun increases productivity. Why do you
  think Google and Facebook have all of those
  scooters, foosball tables, and X Boxes? They know
  what we need to know fun is serious business.
