If you put a slight wrinkle on the notion of time off from work, you come up with another terrific way to reward your employees, namely the opportunity to go off-site to hear a great speaker. This reward gives your employees a combination of time off, education, information, and entertainment.

You can select from a vast array of speakers that includes management gurus, government leaders, prized athletes, military heroes, hot chefs, glitzy tycoons, newsmakers and shakers, heralded authors, hyper motivators, stand-up comedians, movie stars, and more. It is best to pick speakers who can pique your employees’ interests, as this will compound the reward and the enjoyment.
