There was a lot of interest in the segment we did recently on how to reward team behavior. The bottom line is, if you want the team to act like a team you want to reward their efforts as a team. Here are 10 more low cost ideas for rewarding a team that’s doing a great job:

* Invite company VIPs to valet park the cars of the team members as they arrive for work. And even better, have them wash the cars in the company parking lot.
* Plaster a picture of the team on coffee mugs.
* Host a bar-b-que at the team leader’s house.
* Send the local paper a press release and photo describing an outstanding job.
* Start a Scrapbook Wall in the office of photos taken as the team works on a tough project over a few weeks or months.
* Give away movie tickets the families of team members can use, too.
* Arrive before the team and decorate with balloons and banners.
* Surprise everyone with a catered lunch in the office.
* Hand deliver one long-stemmed rose to each person as a thank you
* For a month, reserve the best parking spaces near the front door specifically for your team members.

Remember, behavior that gets rewarded gets repeated. Reward the team.
