Today more than ever, businesses need fresh ideas to nurture talent and retain employees—enter 1,501 Ways to Reward Employees, thoroughly revised, updated, and even more chockablock with ideas than 1,001 Ways to Reward Employees, the groundbreaking national bestseller.

Adapted to meet the needs of an evolving workplace—especially to deal creatively with virtual employees, freelancers and permalancers, international colleagues, and the rule-bending expectations of millennials—its 1,501 low-and no-cost rewards and strategies are drawn from thousands of companies across the globe. Ideas range from the informal (Wells Fargo’s thank-you e-cards) and the offbeat (JS Communications two free “I Don’t Want to Get Out of Bed” Days) to the formal (J. C. Penney “affirms” new managers in a moving ceremony) to the totally nutty (the legendary honor of having your office “sodded”—literally, grassed over—at Microsoft). For bosses, managers, entrepreneurs, small-business owners, consultants—anyone who’s responsible for working successfully in an ever-tougher economy—this is the rewards bible.

Very happy with this purchase

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2012

Awesome book for HR professionals to use in engaging their workforce. We are creating a menu driven incentive plan:
* I will make a list of about 30 to 50 of the incentives out of the book that are non-monetary
* Staff select 20
* I will send out a memo and/or include in the newsletter to all employees to have them vote on their top 5
* I will receive responses and create a Recognition Menu
* When a supervisor would like to recognize an employee for going above and beyond, the employee then gets to select off the Recognition Menu
* Not only will they get what they choose, they will be recognized in the newsletter letting the other employee's know what they received

This is also something we plan use when we develop an employee performance evaluation.

I'm not all the way through it yet, but it has many suggestions I have never considered before. There are also many tools to pass on to my supervisors to be used to enhance their leadership skills. Company culture is more important than ever and we want to be a employer of choice.

So many ideas it is overwhelming

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

I didn't read all of this, and I probably never will. That's because it fulfills it's purpose so well. This would be a great book even if it was "101 Ways to Reward Employees." I have really great foremen who already know how to encourage and motivate employees, but if you don't, you'll find many ways to train your supervisors as well as reward your employees.

This book could save you a lot of money, too, but showing you how to reward employees for little or no money. I really think that its best use is training immediate supervisors, but I'm sure it has many more uses than that. Excellent, excellent resource. It is exactly what it says it is.

Great book for management that's always on the go

This is a fun and idea packed book for the busy manager. When employees start feeling blah! I bust out the book and do an excsorsize and before you know it there are smiles and the staff are reenergised. This book has become one of my favorites. It's a easy read and the instructions given for the activities are easy to understand. Glad I made the purchase. Price can't be beat either.

Read this the first time when it was 1201 ways to reward. Great read them and even better now. Have loaned both books out to multiple people and they all said it had great ideas for them to put in practice. Has very simple ideas that can reap great benefits.

Ok but tends to be a bit obvious

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024

Verified Purchase

As an HR professional I was really looking for eye opening ways to engage our employees and strengthen our culture. While I understand some of these, even most of these would be obvious, the ideals that were presented (that were not painfully obvious) border on inane or fantastical. I do this book will help someone but perhaps and am too far along my creative and HR journey to really get a use from this book.

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2012

I am using this book as a tool for incentive ideas for the company where I work and manage our Corporate Health and Wellness program. I've truly enjoyed the book so far and all the unique ideas it has to offer! Great!

Uma delícia de livro!

Reviewed in Brazil on January 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Apesar de ser um livro grande a leitura flui incrivelmente bem. O design do livro também ajuda muito a prender a atenção do leitor. Como ele é bem ilustrado e dividido a leitura se torna muito agradável.

Enxerguei várias formas de fazer recompensas aos empregados, e o melhor é ver que dá para fazer isso em boa parte dos casos sem gastar nada!

Acredito que juntando esse livro com o “Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Apply the Astonishing Power of Positive Reinforcement” temos tudo o que precisamos para encontrar as formas mais eficientes de tempo e material para reforçamento positivo, para trazer o melhor de cada empregado. E claro, tais dicas podem e devem ser utilizadas também no dia a dia.

Eu gostei muito da compra!
