When it comes to running your childcare business, you should never underestimate the importance of rewarding your employees when they excel at their jobs. 

 

Finding ways to reward them will boost the overall morale and help your childcare business run more smoothly. 

 

How do you actually do this? 

 

In this article, I’ll give you two examples of ways that you can reward your good employees – one small reward and one large reward.

 

Verbalize Your Appreciation

This is a small way to reward your employees when they’re doing a good job.

 

One of the easiest ways to reward your good employees is by verbalizing your appreciation to them when they’re deserving. 

 

This type of reward should not be overlooked, as it is far more valuable than you may even realize. 

 

Simply telling your employees “thank you” can go such a long way. Those words of affirmation will reassure your employees that they’re doing their jobs correctly and assisting in the success of your childcare business. 

 

Anytime my childcare business, Themba Creative Learning Center, is recognized for our contributions to the community, I always acknowledge my employees for their hard work. 

 

Offer Achievable Incentives

This is a large way to reward your employees when they’re doing a good job.

 

Everyone benefits from being offered incentives. What does this mean, exactly?

 

When your employees know that they can achieve an exciting incentive as a product of their hard work, this will motivate them to consistently succeed at their jobs. 

 

The types of incentives you can offer to your employees are endless. 

 

For example, every three years when my childcare business goes through the accreditation process, I reward them by taking them on an all-expenses-paid cruise. 

 

Conclusion

It is so important to frequently remind your employees that you cannot do this on your own. 

 

Your employees NEED and DESERVE to be complimented and reminded that they are a valued part of your team. 

 

When you have the best people behind you, it allows you to not only work in your business but to work on your business. 

 

Celebrate your employees whenever you can. When you do so, they will be with you through thick and thin. No matter what happens, they will have your back because they know that you have theirs!
