Lately
it seems all you hear about are lay-offs, raise freezes and
demoralized employees. Just when managers need everybody to
pull together most, the hard facts of a down economy can zap
staff enthusiasm and productivity.
Yet one year after laying off a quarter of its workforce, one
Michigan engineering firm is enjoying vastly improved productivity,
decreased turnover, and strong employee loyalty. How?
Thinking proactively, the company launched a rewards program
when it was forced to freeze wages. Employees participate in
team competitions like: most sales calls, most new customers,
etc. Participants win prizes such as a travel alarm clock, a
set of binoculars, or an all season jacket. The concept may
sound trivial but has introduced a sense of fun to the employees
and helped raise spirits. The staff also seems to appreciate
that management is making an effort to recognize them, regardless
of dwindling profits.
Company execs all agree the program is working well beyond their
expectations. The employees enjoy the competition, the neat
gifts, and the camaraderie. |
