Project Planning: Reward Your Team

It is the end of the project. Everything has been delivered. You and your team are excited, although a little tired. What next? Reward your team! Every project should have rewards built into it, even simple rewards. Here are some ideas for how to reward your project team (select two or more of these ideas):

1. Celebrate with a team lunch at a nice restaurant (no fast food, no pizza)
2. Send a thank you card to each team member’s home, signed by yourself and other leaders/staff
3. Find out from each team member’s friend where they like to hang out and give a gift card (this may require more time to track down, but pays off through a very personalized gift)
4. Create a hand-made gift basket with personalized gifts (again, more time but very personalized)
5. Send flowers or gift basket – bonus points if you include their favorite flower

Whatever you do, make sure to celebrate your successes together as it will build appreciation and good will for those that gave so much time and effort to see the project to completion.
