Why Employee Recognition Rewards Can Help Boost Your Bottom Line

It's true! Employee recognition rewards are now becoming widely recognized among employers as an effective tool to boost a company's bottom line.

While job competition and an increased work pace has added more pressure for staff members to perform with extra efficiency, each worker's individual performance (with a mere employee rewards system in place) can significantly improve productivity for businesses large and small.

Here's a few reasons why employee incentive programs can be helpful to employers like you:

-- Employee incentive programs can create a greater sense of responsibility for your staff. This means your team can develop more ownership of their jobs, simply because they have a bigger reason to work harder and become more productive for their own personal benefit!

-- Performance Related Pay (or PRP ) initiatives have been known to stimulate employees to work harder than average. Why is this the case? Because many people seem to be motivated more by "the light at the end of the tunnel" (with rewards aside from monetary compensation) rather than just going through the motions until it's time to clock out for the day.

-- The primary objective of employee rewards programs is to give an employee some control over their income.

"Cold hard cash" can be notoriously motivating, but can also be highly ineffective over time for the majority of people. That's because employees, by nature, have little ability in reality to alter their behavior to significantly increase their earnings.

Why not use employee incentive programs TODAY to improve performance among your workforce while simultaneously encouraging your staff to stay on board with your business for the long-term?

The "Morale" of The Story: Employee Incentive Programs May Improve Performance on the Job

It's no secret that employee incentives and recognition schemes have recently become a powerful tool for human resources departments in many companies.

This is mostly because job competition and the change of pace in professional environments nationwide now has added pressure, as well as even more demands from all levels of a company's employees...

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), each worker's performance can become an integral part in the success or failure of a company.

This is why PRP (Perfomance Related Pay ) initiatives have currently been credited for the increase in productivity at businesses across the U.S.

Here are 3 great examples of why implementing PRP , or employee incentive programs , can be helpful to employers:

1)  The primary objective is to give an employee some control over their income.
"Cold hard cash" can be notoriously motivating, but can also be highly ineffective over time for the majority of people. That's because employees, by nature, have little ability in reality to alter their behavior to significantly increase their earnings.

2)  Employee incentive programs can create a greater sense of responsibility for your staff. This means your team can develop more ownership of their jobs, simply because they have a bigger reason to work harder and become more productive for their own personal benefit!

3) PRP initiatives have been known to stimulate employees to work harder than average. Why is this the case? Because many people seem to be motivated more by "the light at the end of the tunnel" (with rewards aside from monetary compensation) rather than just going through the motions until it's time to clock out for the day.

While "compromise" typically tends to be what constitutes an adequate reason for your employees to perform well on the job,  balancing the (unwritten) requirement to improve performance will also encourage your staff to stay on board with your business for the long-term.

3 Reasons to Implement Employee Incentive Programs at Your Company

It may seem trivial or even unnecessary, but rewarding your team for their hard work in the office can help YOU as an employer as well.

Whether you manage an international corporation or a small family business, your employees are your company's lifeline...so why not give your team a "pat on the back" or encourage them to bring even more to the table in order to grow your bottom line?

A recently published news article explains the 3 biggest benefits of offering employee incentives in the workplace:

1) Employee incentives have been known to boost productivity. Whether your crew is comprised of a product assembly line or is made up entirely of a corporate sales force, dangling a metaphorical carrot in front of each horse definitely motivates employees to do more.

2) Employee incentives can also increase confidence. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is often a huge inspirational factor when it comes to workers performing the same tasks day in and day out. When your work force knows they are working towards a "prize," or some type of award for their laborious efforts, they will be more confident to produce, and more confident to help grow your business.

3) Employee incentives can create a competitive streak among coworkers, which can in turn, jump start employee morale. There are often times circumstances that occur in the office which may cause cohesion among colleagues to dwindle, but that vibe doesn't have to linger long-term. Providing an employee incentive program for your team can re-ignite that competitive nature in many individuals, and may even cause your employees to grow closer as comrades outside of business hours!

Go Bananas: 5 Guerrilla Marketing Tactics to Grow Your Business

Let's be honest... there are millions of companies of all sizes out there who are eager to get the word out about their products and/or services, within certain monetary parameters. Well guess what? 

It's perfectly okay to be frugal about how you allocate your marketing dollars...so long as you're diligent about the efforts you make!

Take for example, the latest and most unconventional (aka "guerrilla marketing") gestures you may have seen around town:

-- Someone adorned in a festive or eye-catching costume, and roaming the local community to promote your business (ahem, the folks at Liberty Tax dressed as our Statue of Liberty during that dreaded income tax season annually)

-- People holding up or spinning large signs on busy streets in attempts to lure you into their place of business (mattress stores, jewelry shops, clothing boutiques, etc.)

-- Neighborhood streets adorned in stickers, paper collateral or even spray paint to build brand recognition (refer to independent film, Exit Through the Gift Shop ).

Those are just a few examples of low-budget, atypical methods of conveying a message. While some "guerrilla tactics" may not be the most effective (or legal) for your business... Here are another 

5 guerrilla marketing ideas which could help you improve your bottom line:

1) public relations & publicity using PR web sites or community newsletters/bulletins

2) giving away (or selling) promotional items for others to wear/display as mini "billboards" for your business

3) promoting a raffle or drawing, where the winner receives one of your products or services for FREE or at a discounted price

4) B2B cross-promotions (ex: displaying/selling your sports nutrition products at a local fitness facility)

5) generating positive reviews & testimonial videos from your current clientele/customers (to post on your social media accounts)

See? Guerrilla marketing game plans don't always have to be risky to be affordable.

With a little brainstorming & a lot of "outside the box" thinking, you're sure to come up with a few uncommon practices which could be highly beneficial for your brand or your company.

Take it from us at Escaype Enterprises ... discovering and implementing unique ways to become more successful can be fun, as well as very effective.

Green Coffee Bean Extract Supplements from ATL Fitness Club Coming Soon!

Doctor Oz was raving about them, and so is ATL Fitness Club!

We're talking about Green Coffee Bean Extract supplements ... and they will soon be available for you to purchase from your fitness friends at ATL Fitness Club .

So what is GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT , exactly? Well Dr. Oz refers to them as a " fat burner in a bottle ."

In his TV segment featuring this supplement, Doctor Oz discusses a recent study from (what he refers to as) "the world's largest scientific society." This study observed test subjects who took GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT with a 2,400 calorie diet (each day).

The test subjects lost more than 10% of their body weight and 16% of their total body fat while taking the green coffee bean supplements for just 12 weeks... That's an average of 17 lbs. per participant, with ZERO side effects!

Okay so how does GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT work?

Dr. Lindsey Duncan (a Naturopath Doctor) explains this in 3 ways on Doctor Oz 's show :

1) Green coffee bean extract causes the body to burn glucose and sugar.

2) Green coffee bean extract slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, which keeps fat from building up in the body.

3) Green coffee bean extract has a synergistic effect on the body, which helps burn AND block fat, without any side effects.

Escaype Enterprises & The 'Green' House Effect (of Juicing)!

So I have officially jumped on the juicing bandwagon, and I'm hooked...

Sometimes I find myself standing in the kitchen at 2am chopping up my newest organic produce, only to create a green juice concoction as a nightcap (which beats a glass of wine).

While I'm new to the world of juicing, I have definitely created my own recipes, one of which I'll share with you (this one is my fave).

Here's what's in it (and all of this is organic, by the way):

--2 huge kale leaves

--1 green apple

--1 pear

--12 mini carrots

--2 stalks of celery

--1/2 a banana

And after I throw all that into my juicer...I pour it into a shaker bottle (with the little metal shaker ball thingy) and add about a 1/2 cup of plain coconut water to sweeten it a bit.

As this new juicing hobby continues, I'm sure I'll have many more fun recipes to share online (and in person!).

Until then, this yummy green cocktail will remain my main squeeze.

Cheers!

Escaype Enterprises Explains Why Juicing is Couture!

As a recently-joined member of the Netflix cult, I've come across a multitude of life-changing documentaries...many of which have dramatically changed my views on food.

One in particular, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead ...was amazing.

In this real-life flick, viewers are given a glimpse of what it's like to be overweight (or morbidly obese for that matter) and burdened with the health problems that accompany tipping the scales.

The main guy in this movie introduces us to the world of juicing...and why it's good for us (all the while losing 82 pounds in just 2 months).

Moral of the story: everyone should have a juicer. Throw all your favorite veggies (and fruit too!) in it, and go to town! Your mind, body & soul will thank you for each and every boost in a glass.

I bought my first juicer today...and I'm joining the movement starting this Ash Wednesday. By Easter 2012 I anticipate I'll be healthier than I've ever been in my entire life.

Here's to eatin' your veggies (with a straw, that is)!
