Skip The End Of Shift Gatherings

It is tempting
to reward employees
today
with an end of shift
gathering
– drinks or food
or something similar.

Resist that urge.

Employees have been
working long hours.
They’re tired.
They want to go home
to sleep
and/or spend time
with their loved ones.

A better thank you
would be to send them
home
with a small gift
– maybe a sleep mask
and soothing foot cream
or
a board game
they could play
with their families
or
a mug
with a hot chocolate mix.

An after hours
work event
isn’t a reward
when we’ve been working
long hours.

Reward employees
in another way.
