Rewarding and thanking actives

At MiB, we want our actives to be the happiest in the world. To promote happiness, we reward and thank our activists and organise recreational events both nationally and locally.

When thanking activists and organising recreational activities, we must take into account the financial practices of the section and the tax authorities' guidelines on thanking volunteers on a tax-free basis.

Various forms of reward and thanks

Do you want to thank a fellow active or your team? Here are some tips on how to reward your colleagues.

• Kudos on LinkedIn

• Public praise on Facebook and LinkedIn

• Sending a personalised, handwritten card of encouragement, thanks, Christmas, etc. to an active

• Thank you chocolates, candies, flowers

• Demonstrating the impact of the activity, e.g. through event feedback received

Thank and praise campaigns

We collect goodwill from our actives every year through a 'thank and praise an activist' campaign, which gives us a chance to praise our colleagues. Praise and thanks are used annually in the selection of Super Actives and to reward activists both nationally and locally.

The campaign is organised by a MiB employee each year between September and October.

Super Actives of the Year

Each year, we select activists nominated through the Praise and Praise campaign as Super Actives. Super Actives are selected on the basis of the content of the praise and compliments received and the fact that the activist has not been named a Super Active in previous years.

The Super Actives are selected by a MiB staff member and are announced annually at the Active Seminar.
