Nursery staff are not usually money-hungry employees who are driven by large pay packets and end-of-year bonuses - they would be in the wrong industry if they were. But they too need to be kept motivated. One way nursery chains do this is by implementing employee awards schemes. These recognise and reward staff who have given outstanding contributions to the company.
Annual or monthly awards can be presented at a posh awards ceremony or in front of colleagues at a staff meeting. They are often accompanied by a gift, which ranges from a one-off bonus payment to flowers - or even a promotion. Whatever form they come in, they have the same effect: staff know that their employer appreciates them.
