When a company is doing well, small-business owners often pass on some of their success to their employees. Perks such as company phones, cars, extra incentive bonuses, lunches, and other activities may become commonplace. However, when the store is in trouble, these benefits should be reviewed and many should be removed until the company is in a better financial position. The easiest way to explain these reductions to the staff is to let them know that in order to move forward, all perks and bonuses will be based on the company’s performance. Further, outline when the bonuses will return. For instance, if the company hits gross sales of “x” then there will be one staff lunch. By providing benefits that are tied to the company profitability instead of simply entitlements, your employees will be motivated to grow the business, not just take advantage of its past successes.
