Bonus ideas

Sue Doe-Nym · 12-06-2020, 12:20 PM

There were some really interesting and positive ideas, with some comic relief thrown in for good measure. We really appreciate the positive ideas, and will certainly use them. These ideas should be helpful to others who might be “ on the fence” with what makes sense . Hearing it from construction forum members is probably the best approach. Thanks to you all for the guidance. 😎

I can assure you that the best possible bonus you could ever give someone that does construction for a living is cash.

I think the workers would appreciate cash but the owner would probably appreciate a great review more.

Sometimes, it's hard to know how much cash, or how to thank the unseen people, like office staff, or family. Sending flowers to the office or home can cover that. They get displayed on the front counter as a thank you to the office, not to an individual, or to the family who supports the person you hired.

My Rotary Club runs a program called "Excellence in the Workplace" where we recognize people in town who have been nominated by a local citizen. It turns out this is a great way to recognize folks who are not in a position to accept gifts, like town or state employees. We recognize about 10 people a year, all at one ceremony that gets media publicity and is replayed on the town TV outlet. Your local Rotary Club may run a similar program.
