Tips for Effective Tipping

For Employers

4. Reward Consistency: Consider tipping reliable workers who consistently deliver quality

5. Balance Fairness and Recognition: Reserve tips for truly exceptional work to maintain their motivational value

For Workers

3. Add Value: Look for opportunities to deliver more than the minimum requirements

4. Communicate Professionally: Clear communication can enhance your work's perceived value

5. Don't Expect Tips: Always deliver your best work, but remember that tips are optional recognition, not guaranteed compensation
