This proposal contains information on the need of activities for employees. At this times it is important to give employees opportunities to de-stress and rejuvenate. In such a scenario, it becomes essential for the organization to promote an Employee-friendly work culture by nurturing the spirit of innovation amongst employees and helping in their career growth. Offices are now termed as ‘home away from home.’ Employees spend most of their day hours at the workplace and there are times when the work gets extremely challenging, in addition to being highly stressful. This can have an adverse effect on employee productivity. It is not an easy task however to look beyond the profit margins and focus on employee wellbeing in times of shrinking bottom line, but then that is perhaps the need of the times. There are many organizations however who consider employee welfare as a hygiene issue and it is the responsibility of the management to ensure that employee welfare initiatives should not be put on the back burner in the name of cutting costs.

Believing this is costing you valuable time, revenue, employees...and even threatening your own job. Cash will always be a major factor in motivating people and a solid compensation plan is critical to attracting and keeping key personnel. But the key is that additional cash is not always the only answer and in many cases not even the best answer. Too many bonus or commission checks get cashed, spent and forgotten just that quickly. Grocery stores and gasoline stations are among the necessary stops that seem to get in the way of using your extra cash on something special for you. One alternative to giving commissions or bonus dollars is to give gifts through a catalog point system. The company you choose will provide you with catalogs, price sheets and point checks at no charge. The structure for your bonus plan can remain the same but instead of awarding cash to your employees you award equivalent points. Those points may then be used to purchase an enormous variety of gifts or travel plans from the catalog. The stimulation involved is long-lasting. It begins with the employee being able to browse the catalog choosing what they will strive to earn. The catalog acts as a tangible reminder of their goal. The gift itself will last as evidence of their achievements. Whenever I have implemented this program, the employees are overwhelmingly in favor of the point system as opposed to cash. This type of program is very popular with employees because they purchase things they would never normally have the "money" to afford. With solid compensation in place, let's look at non-monetary motivation... Page 6
