Difficult times call for small incentives

Motivation is one of the hardest things to achieve in this troubled economy yet it is fairly easy to attain to attain by understanding the needs of your employees as you go through daily life in the workplace. Weekend meetings to give praise to your employees who excel and to bring up issues that will make everybody work better, improving conditions and the pat on the shoulder most people need goes a long way in getting people to work better. Simple measures like maintaining what little perks have been left and fighting for them like the free coffee and other perks of your sales staff will go a long way. The rights of your employees should also be enforced to allow them to see they are important to a business.
Customers are always right yet when reprimanding is necessary, do it in a discreet manner that does not shame people for it only harbors discontent.
