Sometimes the best reward is time with the boss.

FACE TIME WITH THE BIG CHEESE

For many employees, the best reward is knowing their actions are being noticed—by you and by others in senior positions.

Consider rewarding a great employee by taking her along on your next meeting with senior management. Speak about the projects the employee is working on and her contributions to your team’s success.

You’ll not only garner loyalty from your employee but you’ll be seen as a nurturing team player by your bosses.
