Employee motivation is a hard thing to quantify. But, if you have a company that does not shy away from a good challenge, then this is no problem. Having employees that are motivated is a very important thing in the workplace. If everyone has a good attitude, then things tend to work out for the best.
Key Takeaways:
- In a peer-to-peer bonus system instead of bonuses dependent on a manager’s assessment or individual measurable goals, employees are rewarded by fellow teammates.
- Bonuses aren’t bonuses if they are expected. Peer-to-peer bonuses are random and unplanned, with ongoing recognition offering continued, smaller motivation.
- Overall employees seem to be happier and more satisfied with their colleagues because they remember the nice things people have done to help them.
