Showing Appreciation And Driving Retention

Spot Bonuses

There are many ways – beyond a large annual bonus – to show appreciation for your key talent. Even a small bonus can be effective and have a longer-term return.

According to research done by PayScale in 2018, spot bonuses are the second most commonly used form of variable pay, tied with employee referral bonuses, after annual individual bonuses.

There’s scientific proof that small, frequent bonuses can make employees feel more satisfied: In a 2001 study, neuroscientists discovered that the anticipation of monetary rewards generates a significant amount of activation in the nucleus accumbens, which is part of the “reward circuitry” of the brain. In the same study, participants self-reported that they felt happier at the prospect of monetary gain.
