4. Offer a chance to learn desired skills.
When people perform the same work tasks day-in and day-out, they get stuck in a rut. They can dig themselves so deep into routine and boredom that they become less motivated and less creative and dissatisfied with their jobs. This leads to lowered productivity and even higher turnover. Turn this downward trajectory around by rewarding exceptional employees with time during the workday to learn new skills that appeal to them. This will enhance their job satisfaction, improve their output and increase the abilities that you can call on to boost your business.
