FINDINGS

• Employees gave examples of instances when this strategy was applied:being thanked for a large client win, a planned trip to Barcelona, winners’dinners, etc. There was a culture described that focussed on recognisingand celebrating good performance.
• No micro-management: staff enjoy autonomy in the office, and are involved in defining someimportant strategic statements such as values and vision, as well as consulted on rewards.
.
