In the famous Mad Men episode The Suitcase, when go-getter Peggy tearfully asked her boss, Don, to say \u201cThank you\u201d once in a while, Don refused. \u201cThat\u2019s what the money\u2019s for<\/a>!\u201d exclaimed Don.<\/p>\n

The fictional Don Draper may have many good qualities, but personnel management is not one of them. Don\u2019t be like Don Draper. Make sure to thank and appreciate your employees for their hard work. After all, Peggy got Don the Cleo!<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas from Zeel, the Massage On Demand <\/a>company, that are sure to make your employees feel happy and appreciated.<\/p>\n

Food.<\/h3>\n

This can be anything from a catered lunch, to a Friday snack assortment. Remember to get vegetarian and vegan options too.<\/p>\n

T-shirts.<\/h3>\n

Everyone loves t-shirts. Get snazzy new company t-shirts and give them out to your employees.<\/p>\n

In-office pampering.<\/h3>\n

Book a Zeel Chair Massage<\/a> session for employees in advance or at the last minute. Stress relief massage in the office is great. Or consider on-demand blowouts or manicures. Any kind of corporate massage wellness will enhance employee well-being.<\/p>\n

Activities.<\/h3>\n

Schedule a bowling trip, or even laser tag. For maximum employee appreciation, schedule this outing for work hours, so employees with inflexible evening schedules don\u2019t need to miss the fun.<\/p>\n

Praise.<\/h3>\n

Take some advice from Peggy Olson \u2013 call out the accomplishments of your employees, both professional and personal. (Just married? \u00a0Ran a 10K<\/a>? Closed a great deal?) Let the company know about employee triumphs.<\/p>\n

Pets.<\/h3>\n

Try a \u201ctake your dog to work day\u201d \u2013 a few well-behaved office dogs<\/a>\u00a0put a smile on every employee\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Remember, express your gratitude to your employees for their hard work \u2013 and everyone benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
