When it comes to appreciation moments that really wow, the human touch is everything. Here are a few ideas to get your appreciation juices surging. Borrow, pilfer, modify, or invent your own. The point is to appreciate. Our way, your way, any way.
When an associate goes above and beyond with jaw-dropping skill and unprecedented success, name a day after them (i.e. Ed Drysdale Day or Allison Christensen Day). Year after year, as the special day comes around, the team acknowledges the associate's ongoing contributions.
As a manager, when an associate shows exceptional drive, thank them with a free car wash. Better yet, bring the car washers to them. Better yet, join together as a team and wash the car yourselves.
The spouse or partner of a hard-working associate is often the unsung hero who gives up too little together time for too much alone time. Thank them with a table for two, a movie for two, a hotel room for two, massages for two, a trip for two, you get the idea.
