Looking for convenient, appreciated, reasonably cost-conscious ways to provide rewards and recognition, demonstrate your appreciation and say 'thank you' for contributions that people make at work? You can select flowers, a book or a CD that you know your staff will enjoy. But, what if you're not familiar with their preferences? Help with rewards, recognition, awards, and appreciation is here.
1. Motivational Posters for Recognition
Most people want to know that their work made a difference. After all, why contribute all of that energy and effort without seeing impact and change? Here's one poster that tells the individual that his work and contribution did make a difference - and, it is appreciated.

Want to provide rewards for all the members of a team? Consider pens and lapel pins that celebrate such positive contributions as excellence, teamwork, and "doing whatever it takes to get the job done well." This selection of desk clocks may also fit the bill; affordable and easy to engrave as well, these are great for rewards, recognition, awards, and showing appreciation.3.

Who doesn't like chocolate, cookies, cheese, or gourmet snacks? These baskets are perfect for providing rewards and recognition for an employee, coworker, or boss.

I don't know too many people who aren't fans of chocolate. Indeed, it's most frequently cited as the food people can't get enough of, so, giving chocolate sends a warm "thank you" message. You can often find gift boxes wrapped in "thank you" paper or ribbons, so the gift is festive and on target for rewards and recognition.7. If You Don't Do Chocolate, How About Dessert?
Not everyone loves chocolate, but everyone loves dessert of some kind. Whether you send cookies, cake, or candy, desserts are a sure staff pleaser for rewards and recognition. Of course, you can order pizza or subs from a local store, and I encourage such recognition, but there is something special about desserts winging their way to your group from afar.8. Thank You Cards for Recognition
A handwritten thank you note or card is always appropriate and often cherished. Keep a supply on hand. If they're handy and available, you're much more likely to take the time to fill one out. Remember, give praise and thanks that is as specific as possible as soon as possible after the event occurs for the most effective rewards, recognition, and feedback.
