In addition to good organization of working conditions, appropriate wages and its timely payment, various kinds of incentives play a big role in ensuring the required level of work of the team. Among them, the most popular are a prize, a certificate of honor, certain benefits, as well as documentary evidence of such incentives.

Such measures on the part of the employer stimulate discipline and successful work. After all, if the position of conscientious and negligent workers is the same, business will not flourish. Incentives are a kind of “perpetual motion machine” of business. An employee whose labor merits have been noticed and appreciated will experience great satisfaction from work and will continue to work with high quality. And other employees can, inspired by the success of a colleague, set the right goals for themselves.

In the legislation, the promotion of an employee is determined by the form of public official recognition of his merits, the provision of public honor. Most often, in a solemn atmosphere at the general meeting of the team, in accordance with the order signed by the head, a certificate of honor is awarded to the employee.

All rewards for work are divided into moral and material ones according to their nature. Material things always have monetary value. These include the awarding of a valuable gift and the issuance of a bonus, a salary increase, compensation for the cost of annual vacation, additional paid leave. Such encouragement brings the employee moral satisfaction and financial income. However, often, even having a great desire to encourage employees, the employer cannot do this due to financial constraints.

Less cost is moral encouragement. It includes an announcement of gratitude, a certificate of honor, entry on the Board and in the Book of Honor. Such encouragement does not provide additional income, but brings moral satisfaction to the employee. Recently, many employers have begun to neglect moral encouragement: in past years, almost everyone was rewarded this way, and this form has become obsolete. In such a situation, an employer who wants to support employees morally can develop their own types of incentives. So, it can be entering into the reserve for promotion, sending to special seminars, exhibitions and conferences, creating more comfortable working conditions. But a certificate of honor or, for example, a certificate confirming the status of "Best Employee" will not be superfluous.

Perhaps the employer will consider it necessary to encourage the work of their employees not only at the end of the working year, quarter, but also on the occasion of special events in lifethe whole team and each employee in particular - for example, in connection with a successful deal, the anniversary of the company or secular holidays, such as New Year, May 1, anniversary of the employee. An honorary diploma will bring a lot of joy to the hero of the day and show that he is part of a team that not only appreciates his conscientious work, but also knows him as a person.

A rational system of employee incentives is an important factor for the successful operation of the company. It is logical that the employer may give the right to the heads of structural divisions (workshops or departments) to apply low-cost incentive measures to employees, such as the payment of small one-time bonuses, early removal of the imposed pen alty. Also included is a commendation letter and a certificate of commendation.
