    Yes there are bonuses that are not performance based. Particularly Christmas ones. Each member of staff is given a standard token amount at Christmas as a gift and a thank you for a years hard work. I kid you not, my friends company just gave out £15 Tesco gift cards for Christmas *facepalm*

    I'm so surprised at everyone's hatred of team building days . . . I bloody love a team building day! At my previous employment this was a big thing. As a result my ex-colleagues are still friends. I absolutely feel as though the fact that we had formed relationships and had a connection with...

    Adding 'big fat Christmas bonus' to the list of ideas. It's just about feeling valued, whatever that looks like to the vast majority. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if staff are unhappy they'll leave. And a high staff turnover is bad for productivity, as is a slow workforce that...

    Do you use research as a part of your strategy?

    Knowledge of your target market is obviously beneficial. If you're concerned about the time it will take to complete the research or can't afford/don't want to pay to outsource it then you can use tools such as 'Facebook Audience Insights' and 'Pulsar' as platforms to pool the research quickly...
