With a lean team of employees at COMNEXIA, Atlanta's most trusted IT outsource solution provider for small to midsize businesses, you might think that personal interaction and praise from management is all the motivation needed to keep employees happy.

"Our upcoming company 'recognition barbecue' wasn't even planned by management," explains Mike Wilson, CEO of the 13 year-old-company, "The sales team told me that they want to thank the Tech Team, because 'without their expertise, they'd have nothing to sell.' I think the Tech Team was more honored that their peers thought so highly of them than if I had arranged it."

In addition to cookouts, the COMNEXIA team often has houseboat parties on a lake in North Georgia, play team sports together and go to whirly ball for scheduled functions.

Some functions are spontaneous too.

"A few months ago, we had an excellent sales week," said Wilson, "we signed three new customers in four days and everyone was pumped. So, on the fifth day - Friday - we all took off and went bowling together. The immediate reward and 'surprise fun day' was even more exciting because it was so spontaneous."
