Mar 31 2011: I think you are absolutely right in saying that people don't always know what they want and I myself find the question what do you prefer, an annual monetary payment or frequent non-monetary gifts very difficult to answer because of course it depends on the kind of frequent gifts.
But what would you think about a company that offers its employees personalized rewards - things they really want - for their achievements?
Mar 31 2011: I agree to you Denise, in the sense that employees wish to be respected for the work they do and have done. But let me ask you something: How do you want to experience this respect and what encourages you? Wouldn't rewards be exactly the right thing to show respect and approval of your work?
By saying "it is an interpersonal thing" do you mean it is just between you and your boss? Isn't there a danger of subjectivity?
