Because it's nice to receive feedback from your boss more than once a year.
These are notecards I bought when I was working in management. I'd give one to a member of my staff whenhe or she developed a creative solution to a problem, suggested a more efficient way to do something or did something above and beyond. The giving of these cards was a simple gesture but it carried a lot of weight. Every time I gave one of these cards to someone they couldn't thank me enough. You'd think I had just given them a $500 bonus or a vacation day. The reaction to these cards is living proof of the fact that money isn't the only or perhaps not even the best motivator.
People want to be recognized and appreciated. My staff members had the cards I gave them hanging on the walls of their cubicles. That was nice. For them and for me.
