1. The Employee of the Month program at Big Bison Resorts would reinforce performance that aligns with the company's criteria for nomination, such as high productivity or providing excellent customer service. However, it may also create a competitive environment among employees, which may not necessarily lead to better performance. To apply the principles of reinforcement more effectively, Big Bison Resorts could consider creating a more collaborative program that recognizes teamwork and encourages employees to support one another in achieving company goals.
2. Big Bison Resorts could get input from employees through various means, such as surveys, suggestion boxes, or focus groups. Additionally, the company could create opportunities for employees to provide feedback to their managers directly and establish open communication channels to receive and address concerns or suggestions. By involving employees in decision-making processes, the company can create a more engaged workforce and increase employee satisfaction and retention.

The central question of the research would be: Is it enough to offer attractive remuneration package to reduce turnover rate?
