Whenever we receive a supplier reward we share it with the team. The latest kitty to share is four dozen bottles of wine, some beer and some movie passes. We don’t make alcohol available to any employees under 18. Those 18 or older get to choose their own bottles of wine – we line it up in the back room for selection as this photo from yesterday shows.
It’s important that everyone working in the newsagency understands opportunities like these supplier rewards. By sharing what we receive we help them understand more about opportunities beyond the income the business received from selling items for which there are other rewards.
Occasionally, we will use rewards as customer gifts but not often as we have plenty of these throughout the year from other promotions.
Yes. This is a good management practice. Show the staff that they are part of the team.
Just be careful with these “rewards”. They could attract taxes – check with your accountants.
