Many companies believe that either a promotion, or bonus, or salary increase or other single approach to employee recognition fits all. In fact, some employees enjoy their current positions but want to have a higher title even if that doesn’t come with much of a pay increase. They want to be recognized for experience and looked to, to share that experience. Others like what they are currently doing and don’t want their role to change or special recognition but would like to take home a little extra money in the form of a bonus or pay increase. Simply asking an employee how he/she likes to be recognized allows that person the opportunity to engage in a custom fit solution.

In short, what motivates some are demotivators for others. Nice article on an important topic.
