I believe that these are good ideas. Most people will perform better if they feel appreciated.

Most employees feel they are either paid what they are worth or underpaid so money is not a motivating factor to get “more” work unless the employee’s job is threatened. We all work for money but where we shoose to work is usually about other factors.

For some employees the key motivator is money but for others (and this group is larger than you think) money may not be the number one motivator. It goes without saying that all the “no cost” motivators in the world will not fix employees feeling underpaid – but even overpaid employees can feel undervalued if they are not given other positive feedback. There are many reasons for low morale not associated with salary levels. These ideas are great – I would love to hear others.

Most employees are not so naive that they don’t understand that you’re trying to bribe them into feeling good without paying them what they’re worth. ‘m not saying these are bad ideas, but they won’t do a lot to raise morale if it’s low.
