To Reward or Not to Reward

I find it interesting how some people believe it is important to reward employees, while others believe it isn't necessary. I feel as though rewarding employees can have many undeterminable outcomes. On hand, employees will feel more of a connection with the company by receiving rewards and special bonuses. On the other hand, if employees begin to expect continual rewards, then they will start to expect them. This can affect the company negatively because if employees can’t be rewarded due to a decrease in the company’s budget, then employees will start to slack off and do their job poorly. I think the best rewards should be given out in a random fashion, so the employee does not know when he/ she will receive one, but will understand that good work is contributes to receiving bonuses and rewards.
