Now Hear This

If you put a slight wrinkle on the notion of time off from work, you come up with another terrific way to reward your employees, namely the opportunity to go off-site to hear a great speaker. This reward gives your employees a combination of time off, education, information, and entertainment.

You can select from a vast array of speakers that includes management gurus, government leaders, prized athletes, military heroes, hot chefs, glitzy tycoons, newsmakers and shakers, heralded authors, hyper motivators, stand-up comedians, movie stars, and more. It is best to pick speakers who can pique your employees’ interests, as this will compound the reward and the enjoyment.

There is something exciting about seeing famous speakers in person, and there can even be more excitement when later telling friends and significant others about the event. When your employees return to work, a good piece of that excitement will come back with them.
