First dates can be stressful. And coming up with first date questions without sounding like you are interrogating your date can be tough

I once worked somewhere that thought rewarding their employees was by paying them. A bonus was allowing them to dress down on a Friday. Can you imagine what the staff turnover rate was? At the last calculation, I think it was about 85% annually.
Many employers think that employee engagement and reward is basically not firing them. It’s like the 1980’s called and they want their employment rights back. Unfortunately, times have changed and society has moved on. Most (not all) employers realise now that old-fashioned bullying tactics don’t cut it with a workforce that appreciates rewards in the form of recognition of their efforts.
Things such as flexible working aren’t so much a reward anymore though. Flexibility is becoming more normal in the business working hours and actually helps recruit and retain staff. It also helps to meet business needs for when 9-5 Monday to Friday just doesn’t cut it.
There are some great programmes available to help businesses run effective reward and recognition schemes. Operating an official program also helps staff to focus on the rewards they want and are able to track and measure their own progress. It also ensures that the employer is operating such programmes in a fairway. Companies such as Corporate Rewards can help businesses create recognition, incentive and event programmes. They can even help with customer rewards.
