Employees are happy tend to be more productive, which is
better for a business’ bottom line. Lots of research has shown the relationship
between employee satisfaction/perception and a company’s success.
I’ve seen it firsthand for more than two decades. Motivated
employees can make all the difference in a successful company.
In my previous post, I explored the importance of positive
work environments and one key benefit is that great workplaces can help
motivate employees.
It makes sense. Employees that are happy tend to be more
productive, which is better for a business’ bottom line. Lots of research has
shown the relationship between employee satisfaction/perception and a company’s
success.

There are a number of incentives that I’ve found to be
helpful. Here are five:
- Bonuses: Employees usually respond to bonuses and other financial incentives as a way to reward great performances.
- Perks: I saw good responses to perks that weren’t simply financial, such as casual days at the office, half days, office parties, and social activities outside of the office.
- Amenities: Workplace amenities – like a gym, cafeteria, or daycare center – are nice incentives for employees to come to work and to stay focused on their projects.
