Employee retention begins with employee recognition. 4 Ways to create a culture of employee recognition and appreciation - 1. Say thank you - and be specific. For example, I appreciate your willingness to put in extra hours so we could make the project deadline. Your contribution is making a difference in this company." 2. Take it a step further and write a personal thank you. When appropriate, include a gift card. Consider a certificate that can be turned in for leaving 2 hours early with pay. 3. Treat the team. Deliver donuts to the breakroom with a note of appreciation to the team. Bring in pizzas for lunch the day after a project has been completed. 4. Encourage personal and professional growth - offer opportunities to take classes, attend a webinar, etc. #employee #recognition #appreciation #retention

We need to do better when it comes to making employees feel valued. Imagine sending a memo thanking employees for record profits and then gifting them with a pin or a $3.50 gift card. Yes, companies have actually done this! It's more than just about paychecks and perks. It's also about recognizing contributions, offering genuine feedback, and creating an environment where every team member knows their work matters. If you're not actively making your employees feel valued, don't be surprised when they start looking for a workplace that will. It's time to do better.

HR has always been a multifaceted role, requiring professionals to manage a broad range of responsibilities. Constantly evolving compliance regulations only add to the complexity and many business owners find it difficult to keep up with these challenges.   What’s the solution?

A PEO can help streamline HR operations, so you can focus on growing your business.    Join us for an upcoming Lunch-n-Learn where you will hear from Linda Villalobos; a HR Consultant with Insperity, as she explains the benefits of working with a PEO and how it can impact your business.    What: Virtual Lunch-n-Learn: What is a PEO?

I still remember the first time I handed out a gift card as a reward. The reaction was priceless. In a world where cash bonuses are often expected, gift cards bring an element of surprise and personal touch. Here’s a story that stands out in my mind from one of our recent clients: They came to us as they were struggling with employee engagement. They had tried everything from team outings to bonus schemes, but nothing seemed to work. Then, they decided to try something different—gift cards. They started small, offering gift cards for achievements and milestones. The results were astonishing. Employees felt seen and appreciated. The company's culture transformed through a giving culture. Gift cards allowed employees to choose their own rewards, making them feel more in control and valued. This simple act of recognition led to increased productivity and a happier workforce. It’s amazing how something so small can make such a big impact. Sometimes, it’s not about the monetary value but the thought and personalization behind it. If you’re looking to boost morale and engagement, consider adding gift cards to your reward system. They’re more than just a piece of plastic—they’re a token of appreciation that can go a long way. Have you ever tried using gift cards as a reward? What was your experience? I’d love to hear your stories.

As managers, we know that our teams and employees all go through tough times, both individually and collectively. Stressful projects come in requiring long hours, a long time employee/friend resigns, employees experience hardships in their personal lives, etc. As managers, it is critical to keep a pulse on the “vibes” in the workplace, and inject positivity when needed. When I see my team struggling, I always fall back on a few things that have proven successful: -      Get down and dirty- get in the weeds, work alongside them on the most basic tasks they are handling. This builds culture, and has always given employees a boost when their manager is in the trenches with them. -      Encourage PTO- I try to look back at PTO records and identify the employees who have not taken a day in a while. Get them on the PTO calendar, and encourage them to do something they enjoy outside of the office. This keeps them refreshed and engaged in the workplace -      Show appreciation and recognition- something IST’s CEO Hal Blackman encourages above all else. A simple shout in a team meeting, small praise for a project handled well, gift card for helping a client in a crunch. These things mean the world and you will be amazed at how these small acts can secure long-time employees. What do you do to lift your teams’ spirits?
