(From The Huffington Post) — Even when the economy is tough — and maybe especially then — it’s never a bad idea to show your employees appreciation. You may have a few knuckleheads you wouldn’t be sorry to see go, were they to walk out, but the last thing you need is your best employees to leave you high and dry.
