Additional Rewards
Besides the base 1 month paid vacation, the Employee of the Month also gets a few other small bonuses. These include a punch card for 3 free meals at the "Gods' Table", the expensive restaurant reserved for management, a new set of work boots, and a small wooden trophy that's been painted gold.
The trophy must however be returned at the end of the month, in order to be given to the next winning Employee.
Sharing of Ideas
While the idea of Employee of the Month is not new, what
Amy & Amee's first did at
Base Camp: Qur, giving a full paid month off to the winner, shifted the paradigm. Productivity increased at a rate that far exceeded what they were losing by paying one employee to not work for a month.
Across the globe, at many industrial locations not run by Amy & Amee's, this form of rewarded Employee of the Month is beginning to catch on.
I'm sorry, after all the terrifying things you have written about that make my skin crawl in fear and excitement, the absolute normalcy about this title is making me cackle. Well done :)
That's the TRUE horror -- things that are MUNDANE xD Thank you :)
