Barclays Financial Planning recently ran a poll of SME’s asking what kind of benefits they offered their employees and what they felt actually motivated staff. The received wisdom about motivating staff is what they really want is anything but mere cash; pension, recognition, bonuses, team building, extra holidays, commission, team days out. The survey, however, found that employees long for wealth with 40% of employers said they felt their staff valued higher salaries over benefits.
The ability of companies to feed this desire for higher and higher salaries in this painful economic downturn, however, is severely hampered. Perhaps also, employees will find that this new world order will dictate that they think less of the here and now, and begin to plan for the future.
So as the effects of the credit crunch take hold and won’t let go, companies need to think of ways to reward and recognise staff without the easy option of a pay rise. Corporate Gifts can play a key role as part of more considered motivational packages.
