Hello i have a small gift shop, and great employees. We are in no way in the millions when it comes to revenue, i think we will have $600k revenue. But being in a very expensive state (CA) that now a lot.

We usually give our employees bonus During xmas time. Last year we gave them $800. This year we are giving them differential pay for the month of December. About $2.50/ per hour on top of their regular pay . We will have occasional fre lunches during the busy times as well.

Is $800 plus differential good enough? Is there something else i can do to make them feel appreciated ? Specially during the busy time

    If you want to make them feel appreciated, inexpensive but personalised gifts can be a great hit. I wouldn’t spend more than $50 on it, as if you spend a lot, they would probably just rather the cash. But personalised gifts of appreciation are always a lovely small gesture of kindness, and also reinforce that you care because you’re putting in the effort to learn about their interests or hobbies.

      Thank you. We are giving them cash bonus and differential pay for all month of december actually it will start the week of thanksgiving. But yeah i guess i can make a little personal gift where we can include the check.

        In all honesty a £800 bonus is showing more than enough appreciation and as you seem to be a great person and therefore likely a great manager, you’re showing them way more appreciation than you even realise.

        Keep up the good work and I hope the best for you🙌🏾
