Another good suggestion on how to make employees happy is to frequently provide them with coupons that will help them in their daily lives. Salaries may be difficult to increase the way most people want. That is very true in call centers and other outsourcing companies where the employee head count runs to a few thousands. But coupons that make goods cheaper elevate the employees’ lives as if there was a salary increase

Gift Idea

In 1945, the War ended and Canadians have successfully liberated The Netherlands. As a gesture of thanks, the Dutch royal family sent lots of special gifts that include 100,000 tulips in many colors to Canada. This started an annual gift giving of the Dutch to the Canadians that never fails to include special tulips. Therefore, whenever one thinks of a gift idea to somebody as a gesture of thanks or special friendship, why not send tulips?

Being Paranoid or Just Careful

I want to have my own driveway alarm in order to have an advance warning whenever people are approaching my garage. In the outsourcing business, I work odd hours and I oftentimes leave the house on weird hours like before midnight. Since bad guys are good in casing their intended targets, I have to be ready in the event that some of them have spotted me and are planning to attack as soon as I open the garage door.

Being Ready..

One of the outsourcing companies that I am connected with recently held an employees’ summer bonding activity. In that affair, a long convoy went on road trip and ended in a popular beach destination. With such a huge delegation, the organizers alerted a roadside assistance club to monitor the group and be ready to help in the event that something unfortunate happens. Nothing bad happened, very fortunately, but it was a lot better that our employees are affiliated with the club and was able travel with professional help being ready to lend a hand at all times.
