Incentives give the employee something extra to work for and keep their drive to be successful at what they do. There are various types of incentives that can be given to an employee including recognition around the business. Employee of the month is one that can be handed out. Recognition at a company banquet for the employee of the different months and the year also can be effective. Bonuses can also be handed out along with these different types of recognition to keep the employees interested in their job.
Raises are another way to let employees know that they are doing their jobs.

Negative feedback can be given verbally or in a written manner. It is generally in the form of written reports explaining what needs to be done to improve.
