Week 7

Question:Besides the ideas discussed in the passage, how else can companies reward and keep their top-performing employees? 

I think there are three ways companies can reward and keep their top-performing employees too. 

First, express “thank you” in a public place and do it as often as you can. It can make your employees feel valued and recognize their hard work.

Second, offer an extra day off. If an employee works extra time to complete an assignment you give, maybe you can give him or her some extra day off for rewards.

Third, schedule an all-company activity. For example, you can plan a party with BBQ and some fun games for the employees to play. This can build relationships and collaboration between different departments.

To sum up, I think these three ways can help a company reward and keep their top-performing employees from going to another company.

Reflection: I think this article is good to point out not only the benefits of google’s rewards policy but also other problems of it. I think I have learned a lot from the article.
