What is important about using different types of rewards as motivation?
The monetary reward is important because it’s a nice way for the company to say thank you, especially since a business is a profit-making enterprise, and when the company hands someone a $500 check, that’s an important gesture. But it’s not necessarily the whole impetus for the creative, innovative environment. I think verbal recognition is important also, so that people know that their innovations and ideas [are] to be used, and they will be recognized at some point.
