What extra perks do you give to make your staff/coworkers happy?

I learned very early on that small gestures can go a long way.

 

When I had to work on Saturdays at an office in Japan, I spent some of my own money to bring in food - people appreciated it because otherwise there would have been nothing. At my first restaurant job, the owner always cooked us a meal personally at the end of the day and made sure we all sat down to eat together as a team. I often tried to bring my staff samples of coffee from other stores I visted on my weekends so they would get a better understanding of the industry as a whole and know I was thinking about their growth.

 

All small costs that had long-term impact. How about you?

    We're getting ready for a three-day conference so I'm bringing homemade "snack bags" for my teammates. I made some healthful grab-and-go snacks so no one crashes in the middle of a busy day.
