Well, almost.
Southwest Airlines (SWA) abounds with employee incentives, including giving
away Ford Explorers for perfect attendance.
From a financial perspective, it makes sense: Whether a firm is encouraging
thousands of employees to report to work consistently, increase the level of training or education, or simply meet a monthly
goal, the company can afford to award a new vehicle or two and still contribute
to the bottom line.
Countless companies
are learning the value of strategic employee incentive programs in today's
workforce, which thrives on competition, achieving milestones, and rewarding
good work with items of value. When personal performance milestones are tied to incentive items perceived as valuable, both the employee and the company win.
A happy
employee is [almost always] a productive employee, and that translates to an
increase in LUV.

I agree with you and have realized in my own workplace that a happy employee is a productive employee. If employees feel they are appreciated and know that there is an incentive to being to work every day and on time, there can only be positive results. I believe if more business would adopt this mentality, and invest (even if only a small amount) in there workforce, they would see a significant change in mood, demeanor, and productivity.
