Without them, business machines, forms and systems will not run as what they intend to be. Thus, our personnel, as they work hard to reach the goals of our firms, are worthy to receive benefits that will make their lives better. Since money is important to a man’s life to live with prosperity, it is just ideal to grant our workers with all the monetary benefits that are due to them. Furthermore, money, although indispensable, cannot fulfill and make your employees happy and motivated. Employers and business owners should also consider the following zero-dollar cost benefits that are important to motivate them and make your organization productive.<span id="more-1419"></span></p>
<p>1.<em> <strong>Smile and say hello</strong>.</em> This is to promote joy and comfort inside your organization. Greeting your employees makes them feel your care and their importance to you.</p>
<p>2. <strong><em>Put it in writings.</em></strong> Your can make notes to acknowledge the good things your employees did for the firm. A simple “good job” can boost their self-esteem.</p>
<p>3. <strong><em>Give a round of applause</em></strong><em>. </em>This will not only recognize the good deed of an employee and increase his confidence; this will also inspire other employees to do the same.</p>
<p>4. <strong><em>Flex the clock</em></strong><em>.</em> You can give certain employees flexible time of work depending on their situation or time requirements.</p>
<p>5. <strong><em>Bestow the freedom of passion</em></strong><em>. </em>Anyone doesn’t want a boring job or task. You can give them the freedom to choose the projects they most likely want to accomplish.</p>
<p>6. <strong><em>Offer a shower.</em></strong> Water comforts the human body. If they want it then give it a shot.</p>
<p>7. <strong><em>Let them browse</em></strong><em>.</em> Almost all companies have internet connection in their offices. Most of them restrict it to employees to avoid abusive use – it’s fine. However, you can be generous enough to give your employees free time to browse the Internet (15-30 minutes or more may be enough for a day). It will not only orient them to Internet literacy but will also make them feel trustworthy.</p>
<p>8. <strong><em>Be humble</em></strong><em>. </em>A humble boss gives comfort and gentleness to his people. Humility will also bring your employees in the higher grounds of humanity.</p>
<p>9. <strong><em>Apologize.</em></strong> We are all sinners. Apologize to your employees for the mistakes you have done. You can also give an apology to their families for taking most of the time of their love ones – whom happens to be your workers.</p>
<p>10. <strong><em>Cleanse the spirits</em></strong><em>. </em>Spiritual things and activities are probably the greatest benefits you can give to your employees. You may schedule a regular hour for prayer or preaching to lift up and cleanse the spirits of the people inside your organization.</p>
<p>11. <strong><em>Give comfortable zones.</em></strong><em> </em>It’s not only ideal but it is also legally mandated – that you give your employees a comfortable working place. So don’t turn-off the air-conditioning or cooling system while they are inside your office, unless they want it to be turned off. You can also schedule renovations on days when your employees are not around to keep them away from hazards.</p>
<p>12. <strong><em>Award fames</em></strong><em>. </em>Humans love money and fortune. They also love fame. Aside from monetary awards and benefits, you can also award them fame. You may do it by publishing their success in your bulletin board or in the media.</p>
<p>13. <strong><em>Make them trainers. </em></strong>This is because everyone has their own strengths. The purpose of this is to discover their fortes and share them to everyone. You may assign your employees their beloved topics to be taught to everyone whom will be interested. This will help them eradicate their weakest links and serve as their opportunity to shine.</p>
<p>14. <strong><em>Walk the talk.</em> </strong>Meeting held inside the office is often boring. You can bring your employees in the park, at the bay or any places where ambience is great for any discussion. It will not only make your meeting an interesting one, it will also burn your extra calories.</p>
<p>15. <strong><em>Loosen up their feet. </em></strong>When there are no clients to watch their feet. Your employees can have the benefit of relief by loosing their shoes and wearing some comfortable footwear.</p>
<p>16. <strong><em>Let them borrow your stuff</em></strong>. Books, magazines and other educational materials can be picked out of idleness and be utilized by your employees.</p>
<p>17. <strong><em>Celebrate their celebrations. </em></strong>Birthdays, fiestas, baptisms, weeding and the like are events that your employees want your presence. Hence, spare some time to attend them.</p>
<p>18. <strong><em>Give them the freedom of expression</em>. </strong>The<strong> </strong>freedom of expression is one of the greatest privileges a person could have. It will not only fulfill their thoughts and emotions, it also indicates a true organization where everyone has a voice.</p>
<p>19. <strong><em>Lend ears. </em></strong>Their freedom of expression will be wasted if you will not listen. I heard employees saying “I prefer to shut my mouth rather than talk to someone who doesn’t listen”.</p>
<p>20. <strong><em>Close your eyes. </em></strong>Sometimes, bosses whose eyes are always keeping on their workers, make employees uncomfortable. They also feel like they are all suspects of any wrongdoings. One good benefit you can give to your laborers is some space and confidence.</p>
<p>21. <strong><em>Trust them.</em> </strong>As in no. 20 says, sometimes you need to close your eyes and trust your employees. Trust is very important in any relationship because it makes people feel they are reliable, responsible and capable.</p>
<p>22. <strong><em>Be patient. </em></strong>Patience is a virtue, and that virtue is one ideal benefit your employees can truly enjoy.</p>
<p>23. <strong><em>Give hope. </em></strong>As the leader and the captain of your firm in achieving its goals and success, giving hope to your subordinates and followers is a must. Hope serves as the fire and energy your employees need to continue in times of hardships and trials.</p>
<p>24. <strong><em>Be a teacher. </em></strong>Knowledge is power, and that power is an important gift you can give to your staff and personnel. Share what you know so that they may increase their knowledge. This will also develop your human bonding with them and increase productivity inside your business.</p>
<p>25. <strong><em>Be an inspiration. </em></strong>Be a model, be an inspiration and make them proud and thankful that you become their boss</p>
