1. Let Them Go

Hold on - not what you’re thinking. Give them the rest of the day off once a project or goal is completed! The high-achieving employee who has consistently gone above and beyond has likely done so in and out of the workplace - so why not give them the gift of time? Whether it’s to be with their family, friends, or to just take the day to celebrate and relax. 

2. A Celebratory Box

If you’re going to celebrate, do it right! Did someone land an important client? Mark a milestone with your company? Give them the perfect celebration package! This is a great option for companies with employees who work remotely. You don’t necessarily have to be there to celebrate.
