My brother\u2019s company has a terrific tradition each month of choosing a \u201cStar Employee\u201d and then surprising him or her with special corporate Congratulations cards<\/strong><\/a>. Even though the company\u2019s name is printed at the bottom of the cards, the boss usually writes a note and hand signs one of the cards, which makes it a little more special. Who doesn\u2019t like recognition and approval?<\/p>\n

This smart company rewards its employees for their achievements while cleverly encouraging them to work smarter and be even more productive. It\u2019s a very positive way to applaud accomplishments and promote success.<\/p>\n

At any time throughout the year, beautiful congratulations cards are also handed out for special recognition \u2013 such as for someone surpassing their goal or successfully completing an extensive project. People know when they\u2019re appreciated and respected and usually respond by being even better employees.<\/p>\n

However…when you\u2019re named a \u201cStar,\u201d it\u2019s not just about the greeting cards that you receive! Inside the cheerful, high quality congratulations cards you always find something special. It\u2019s often a gift certificate for lunch to a popular restaurant that\u2019s close to work. Sometimes it\u2019s a pair of tickets to a movie. Not enough to make anyone else overly jealous\u2026just something extra to let you (and everyone else) know that you\u2019ve done a good job and that you\u2019re valued.<\/p>\n

Every employee looks forward to finding out who gets the \u201cStar\u201d cards each month and it makes them all a little more conscientious and aware of their efforts. For this success-oriented company, it\u2019s a small, inexpensive incentive that makes a big difference. It\u2019s also one more reason my brother likes working there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My brother\u2019s company has a terrific tradition each month of choosing a \u201cStar Employee\u201d and then surprising him…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1293,1305,13],"tags":[254],"class_list":{"0":"post-1381","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business-insights","7":"category-workplace-morale","8":"category-inspirational-greeting-card-tales","9":"tag-corporate-congratulations-cards","10":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nCorporate Congratulations Cards Reward Special Effort -
