What you ask and then do is excellent, but it's the underlying culture in your group that's even more impressive. If your people didn't trust you, weren't sure that the messenger was never shot and believe in your authenticity they wouldn't tell you. That simple...or not.

I ask my people how they want to be taken care of...and then I do it. Sometimes, it's something small like a cup of coffee or nice lunch. Sometimes, it's something larger, like an extra hour or two off of work, or some special training, or whatever. If I can do it, I do it. And if I can't, I let them know why, at least why not right now. And then I try to find another time to deliver. Great question Miki.
