Have you ever given thought to the word, inspiration? What truly inspires you? Often people associate inspiration to those that have been awarded for a merit in their field but that plaque is not always the best way to inspire your employees.

Don’t be shocked because while some people want the fame and even live for it, others are motivated by money.
Key Takeaways:
- Awards and plaques to recognize employees’ are okay, but money talks louder.
