Note Presentation
The company has gained a lot from the latest project due to the employees putting much effort. However, the management has not yet acknowledged their efforts and the employees feel exhausted and unenthusiastic. The workers need a reward to motivate them and boost their morale so that they actively participate in future projects. Similarly, the award will make the employees feel appreciated by the management for showing great effort.
Although the company comprises of several departments and status for employees, everyone played a role in the last project. Since all the employees and the management were involved in making the previous project a success, they all need acknowledgment and motivation. The reward will, therefore, go to all the employees of the company. The company has a total of forty employees. They include the senior managers, junior managers, the secretaries, cleaners and the departmental workers.
The company management has chosen paid retreats as a reward to the employees for their commitment and loyalty. The vacations will allow employees to ease the tensions created at the office. Similarly, retreats will give employees a chance to develop a good working relationship since it will increase productivity. Also, the retreats are a recognition of the employees’ efforts in seeing projects to completion. Therefore, paid retreats are a better choice of a reward to workers.
The retreat should take place between 10th and 14th December before breaking for the December holidays.

The company’s management has two options. The first one is a trip to the Bahamas. Since the small island nation lies near the country, it would reduce the company’s expenses at the same time giving the employees much-desired fun. The Bahamas has sandy beaches where the workers can sunbath as well as swim in the ocean waters in the warm climate.

The second option is a trip to the Yellowstone National Park. The park has a variety of wildlife including wolves which the workers can watch while on tour. Similarly, the famous geysers and hiking trails would serve interested parties. The beautiful scenery and the various activities in the park would keep the company’s employees entertained throughout the trip.

Considering a road trip to the Yellowstone National Park, hiring buses will cost about $1,000 a day. The fuel consumption may hit $2,500 according to the distance we expected to cover, and the bus driver may demand $1000 for their services (Benson et al. 1). Therefore, the entire trip will incur $8,500 for the four days spent at the park and the one day of traveling back and forth. Yellowstone charges $30 for a vehicle permit. The park activities such as hiking cost at 50 dollars. The employees will then have to cater for some of the other luxuries present at the park. Benson et al. (1) show that some resorts charge $200 a night. However, should the planning committee decide to approve camping, the company will incur about $15 a night. On the other hand, the company will commit $1, 000 a ticket for the Bahamas flights reflecting a total of $80,000. The company can get decent hotels for around $1,500 per person (Sharpley and David 1). The workers will have a lot of activities to perform at the Bahamas. Although authorities allow tourists to swim and spend their time on some beaches without any charges, the company will have to incur few expenses needed in moving people from one place to another as taxis charge tourists about $20 per trip in the town.
