Does anyone use Applause or any other app? I am researching apps for team engagement/positive google reviews mentioning team members, etc. Is Jobber still doing that? At one time, there was an automation asking for google review naming a team member, but I cant find that now. Thanks for any help!

We take them out periodically for ice cream - I know that sounds silly but it is something they would never spend their own money on. They love it! I also like to make them feel comfortable within the community in which we work. If they know I have pride in my team, it shows them how much they are trusted and appreciated.

Thank you goes a long way and I couldn't do it with out my employees. I offer gratitude, share praise, and shout my gratitude from the roof top! I also do my nest to make sure they have a work/ home life balance and host employee gatherings to show appreciation.

The most basic way I've found to help thank the employees that set our company apart is by paying them a livable wage that allows them to actually achieve the goals they have set in place for their personal life. We also give yearly bonuses around Christmas time and throw a Christmas party.
As simple as it might seem, telling them thank you for the work they put in is a huge boost. Too many times in the workplace, doing a good job is expected and not rewarded or even acknowledged, by saying thank you, your employees begin to understand that you actually care. Thats worth its weight in gold!

Everyone loves to be incentivized I haven’t had steady employees but when I do I play to have simi quarterly bonuses.

I have gotten great responses from my employees when I take them to get massages and food a few days after bigger jobs. They seem to love it and enjoy having a day to relax and enjoy themselves after working hard. They always put 110%, so its great to reward them with this frequently aaand because I get to enjoy it too!

A percentage of profit share each quarter.

Saying THANK YOU, and meaning it is the first step. Randomly reward them for going above and beyond with a $10 gas or fast food gift card. I have learned over the years that each employee has their own 'love language' or what motivates them. If you can tailor your appreciation to what they really like (love language) they will appreciate you more for knowing or remembering what their likes are.

I’m a firm believer in showing my team constant gratitude. Buying them lunches regularly as possible when the budget can accommodate and just taking care of them as best as possible because they help me run my business without them. Things would be a lot more difficult. The good ones always stay around The bad ones don’t get cold back. So we always show gratitude to the good ones. And gratitude to the bad ones but from afar.

We give each other tacos to celebrate each other and the work, they can collect the tacos and redeem them for gas/grocery card, day off. We post all of the good reviews and thank them for their work. Quarterly events from making flower arrangements, cooking with an Italian chef to Cirque De Soleil tickets. We ask them what their favorite treat is and if we visit them on a job we take their treat.
