Table for Two

For your employees who are putting in extra long hours, one fulfilling reward is a dinner for two. However, this is more than simply picking a restaurant and then handing them a meal ticket.

If you want this to be a rewarding meal in all respects, pick out not only an excellent restaurant, but also one that your employee may have mentioned glowingly in the past. If he or she has not noted a restaurant by name, try to learn the kinds of foods he or she prefers and then make your choice. Rewarding your hardworking employees with dinner at the latest trendy eatery can be a big turkey if your employee does not like the food.

Your hard-working employee probably missed a good number of dinners with his or her significant other, so be sure to include this individual as well. He or she plays a key role in your employee’s life, and some thanks and recognition for this individual can make those long work hours a little more palatable.
