33See a Sport

Tickets to sporting events are a terrific way to reward individual or group performance. If employees meet specific objectives, they are rewarded with tickets to a local sporting event, such as a baseball game.

Depending on the project and participants, these rewards can be given to a few employees or even the entire department. In fact, when you make this a group award, you are likely to see more team-oriented behaviors among the employees. You are also likely to hear the employees incorporate more sports vocabulary into their daily work as they strive to handle curveballs, play hardball, and avoid striking out.
