For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a homecooked meal or a handwritten thankyou card.”Rubin also said smaller panies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The pany manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the pany.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact.
