2. Regular employee evaluations and pay increases should be part of employee benefits. 6-month evaluations are becoming the norm in order to make sure you have the right people for the jobs at your place of business. On the other side, employees are given the incentive of performing well if regular pay increases are in their grasp.
3. Bonuses based on employee performance. Employers who offer scheduled bonuses are more apt to keep their skilled personnel longer and those employees have incentive to perform at their peak abilities. Bonuses can be determined on performance such as in sales commissions or store profits.
4. Company Social Events. Take a trip as a group for a day or coordinate a company picnic. Some employers rent an amusement park for an afternoon so that children can attend the event as well.
