… thank contributors to your knowledge base
January 21, 2016 at 3:41 pm 2 comments
One of the problems many PSLs and KMers experience is how to encourage fee earner participation when they have no big budget for bonuses or presents.
This post gives 5 ideas of low-cost ways to thank those who participate:
- Handwritten thank you card/note/postcard
- Gratitude tweet
- Small unexpected gift (chocolate coins?)
- Add them to your birthday card list
- Token for free training or advice – source an invitation to a different team’s event, some desk-based training of their choice, or anything in-house which interests them.
With a slightly larger budget, you could also set up a loyalty programme, so fee earners could earn points towards a training event of their choice, particularly something that the firm wouldn’t usually have funded (perhaps something linked to their role which they are interested in, but slightly off-topic).
