Interviewers want to hear that you reward your employees and recognize them for their positive efforts in a way that is truly motivating and meaningful. Great employee rewards might include allowing employees to a leave early on a Friday afternoon, bringing in homemade pumpkin bread or organizing a potluck, having an afternoon staff golf outing, allowing employees to wear jeans to work for a week, paying for a training course they were hoping to take, creating a rewards system at the end of each quarter, having their house cleaned, having their car professionally cleaned while at work, etc. Even if you have never had the opportunity to reward employees, explain the kind of things you would like to one day implement. Be prepared to share two or three of your favorite ways to reward employees!

"I am a big proponent of public praise for great work. In my previous role, we had the opportunity to share shout outs at our weekly Friday meeting, where people were encouraged to publicly acknowledge each other for great work. On a quarterly basis, we also gave awards in a similar fashion. I also love allowing employees flexibility at work, particularly in the summer. I would support flex Fridays or casual Fridays to reward employees. Any opportunity to have fun with coworkers is always welcomed, so I would enjoy to plan outings or even staff lunches to promote workplace camaraderie."
