Pool and Spa News:” How to Reward Your Employees Without Spending (Much) Money”

Rewarding talent is an important way to increase employees happiness, but it's key for employers to find ways to do so without breaking the bank.

Pool and Spa News reviewed ways that brands in the industry reward employees and demonstrate their value without using large amounts of financial compensation.

Pool Scouts, for example, hosts events to keep morale high. The Virginia Beach, VA-based organization hosted an employee cookout in June of last year to kick off the season and then ended the pool season in October with a company trip, as well.

"The two events serve as a celebration of the hard work that [our employees] put in,” Michael Wagner, president of Pool Scouts told Pool and Spa News. 

Pool Scouts also offers quarterly Lunch and Learn sessions, and use gift cards as another popular, somewhat low-budget way to show employees that they’re valued.
