There are two means of motivation: Extrinsic and Intrinsic. Extrinsic is when we are motivated to perform a behaviour or engage in an activity because we want to earn a reward or avoid punishment.
Intrinsic motivation is when you engage in something because you find it rewarding. In other words, the activity or behaviour is its own reward.
The secret to engaging and motivating your staff is to motivate people intrinsically, so they feel that they are doing a great job, and that is where your reward strategy can really help.
Trivial Benefits are by definition not ‘rewards for work or performance’, nor can a voucher count as a Trivial Benefit – HMRC uses ‘trivial’ to define something which does not add financial value to an employees pay packet – with a true value of less than £50. Trivial benefits examples might include a staff lunch, a round of coffees for the team, or a gift on an employees birthday.
Luckily My Staff Shop provides a variety of employee rewards ideas that fall within the HMRC Trivial Benefits definition.
You can use the Discount Deals to save money on everything from pizzas to plants and coffees to cinema tickets.
Celebrating employee milestones serves to both recognise and reward the individual and motivate their colleagues. If it’s common knowledge that your company values loyalty and long-service, people are more likely to stick around to reap the rewards.
What’s more, if staff have good things to say about working for the business long-term, this secures a strong employer brand and promotes a feeling of consistency within the workplace.
