Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Celebrating small goals as much as major goals helps employees feel valued and recognized for their efforts, which can boost their sense of pride in their work. Financial incentives (Choice A) may motivate some employees, but it can also create competition and resentment among coworkers. Distributing merchandise with a pride slogan (Choice D) may also boost morale, but it may not address underlying issues of job satisfaction and motivation. Celebrating only the major goal (Choice C) can make employees feel that their efforts towards smaller goals were not important or appreciated, which can demotivate them.
