Motivating Employees
I do not like the idea of giving employees monetary bonuses for good work. I think that employees do need to receive some kind of recognition for above average work. There are two ways that I think employees should be compensated. If I were working, I would want to be rewarded for good work with the ability to move up within the company. I think the idea of promoting from within is one of the easiest ways to improve the morale of the workers, and also increase productivity. The second way to reward employees is to give them gifts that are not just a cash bonus. Giving employees awards can be a more personal form of incentive. If an employee performs above the norm, he should be recognized by the whole company. This gives other employees something to strive for. I also think things like lunch with the boss can be a good reward.

Nick,
I have to disagree on your comment about monetary bonuses. I feel that a bonus does encourage employees and this is an easy way to increase productivity. What I do agree on is your other two ways that employees should be compensated. I feel that it all depends on how well the employee works. If he is doing above average work then he would recieve an award but if he is doing excellent work then he should be promoted and/or given a monetary bonus. That is how I feel about motivating employees.
