Bottled-Up Rewards

When your employees perform extremely well and you want to toast their excellence, try doing so with bottles of wine or water. And for that extra impact, you should go with a case. While the congratulatory nature of wine has been well established over the millennia, one might wonder about water’s role in this activity.

As you might suspect, there is a catch. You can buy water and wine today with labels that you can personalize with graphics and your employee’s name, photo, and any comments you wish.

By personalizing a reward in this way, the bottles of wine and water take on a broader meaning. On one level, it is simply fun for an employee to see his or her picture on these bottles, along with words of high praise. On a slightly different level, this reward demonstrates that you want to give your employees something special and help them feel like a special something.
