A recent study reveals that 64% of employees report financial incentives increase engagement in the business and help them access healthcare resources.

Businesses that see their employees as an asset and prioritize their health and well-being make significant investments in the form of employee benefits to boost productivity.

While many of those benefits are non-monetary such as recognition, appreciation, free healthcare services, company car, etc, it is often financial benefits that are most effective in improving employee satisfaction and increasing confidence in the work place.

Here are the top financial benefits that boost employee confidence:

Financial Rewards

Financial rewards in the form of monetary pay are a great way to incentivize work. Apart from monthly salaries, rewards for top performance can include movie tickets, bookstore credit, or extra cash that can be awarded to employees to boost confidence in their work.

Employees will eventually get demotivated waiting for the next appraisal (especially if the appraisals happen annually) and by not receiving any form of tangible gratification for their efforts, they are likely to start suffering from low morale.

Frequent Appraisals

Instead of waiting for the end of a fiscal year to be rewarded for hard work, why not break the annual appraisal down to a bi-annual appraisal process? Offering two appraisals and in turn having frequent appraisal reviews will help you stay in touch with employees, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and motivate to perform their best throughout the year.

Allowance

Allowances for subsistence and housing costs such as car fuel, accommodation, billing expense and phone bills are all great benefits provided by companies on a monthly basis to improve employee satisfaction and confidence. They also promote company loyalty. When deciding to accept offers, a company that has a benefits plan that financially rewards employees will always stand out and attract top talent.

Bonus

A bonus is a pay that supplements an employee’s salary. Awarded for reaching set goals; cash bonuses are the kind of rewards employees cherish.

A work bonus that rewards its employees not only boosts confidence within the workplace by distinguishing top performing employees from the rest of the workforce, it also motivates everyone to do their best for such a reward.

A recent study by Wei Cai, Subjectivity in Tournaments: Implicit Rewards and Penalties in Subsequent  suggests formulating a system where employees are awarded bonuses unexpectedly to boost employee confidence.
