5 easy and inexpensive ways to reward your employees this holiday season. Boost morale

1. 5 WAYS TO REWARD
YOUR EMPLOYEES THIS
HOLIDAY SEASON

2. 1 - Have lunch and treats
brought in
• With the holidays also brings the end of
the year. Why not have a delicious lunch
brought in every day to the days leading
up to the holiday break?
• Show your employees you care by giving
them an extra long lunch as well.

3. 2 – Offer casual days
• Instead of the traditional casual “Friday”,
why not make the week (or 2 weeks)
leading up to the holiday break casual?
• Have the different departments join in an
“Ugly Sweater” contest and have small
prizes for each winner.

4. 3 – Offer flexible working hours
• The holidays are a time when family
arrives and time off is needed. Maybe
some employees don’t feel comfortable
with taking the entire week off. Why not let
them leave early (or come in late) some
days? If coverage allows, why not?

5. 4 - Telecommute
• Give the employee an option to work from
home. As long as they are in touch during
working hours, it can benefit both
employee and employer.

6. 5 – Show you care
• A fun idea that also shows you care about your
employees is to give them coffee. Don’t just buy
a box of Starbucks and leave it in the kitchen. 
I’m talking about finding a cart, have all of your
items on the cart, walk around, and ask your
employees if they would like some coffee.
Interact with them and talk with them. Find out
what their plans for the holiday are. Believe me,
an employee that sees their boss serving up
coffee shows that you are personable and that
you care about your employees.

cost a lot and can boost morale at the holiday
season when people need it the most.
