Getting staff to assess their own performance may sound like an extreme response to the problem of workplace appraisals. But then the problem with appraisals is extreme. They take different forms in different companies, but what they have in common is that they are usually annual, usually involve a tense exchange between employer and employee, have a knack of being timed to coincide with the employee making a major cockup, and invariably leave both parties depressed. |

Many companies use employee-of-the-month awards. This award may include a photograph of the honoree with an engraved nameplate in the lobby of the business, perhaps a reserved parking place and/or a small cash bonus. Variations on employee-of-the-month programs are almost endless. At Acapulco Restaurants in Long Beach, CA, the honoree also gets a paid day off.
