Try this morale-booster on for size.
For the past two years, there's been a freeze on all pay raises at our practice. That's why our boss shows his appreciation for our hard work with this morale booster: At each staff meeting, he recognizes an employee who has gone above and beyond in the last month. That person earns a check for $25 and gets his or her name on the employee-of-the-month board.
