All-in-one recognition and reward system for employees

Employee rewards involve a gift and cost money. Employee recognition, on the other hand, is free. An example of recognition is telling someone they’ve done a great job. Peer recognition is typically done in the moment and is an easy way to show a colleague you appreciate their efforts.

Recognition systems complement reward systems and are a useful method to measure employee engagement. When delivering recognition it’s important to be sincere. Don’t use copy and paste email templates - make the message personal. When a team member receives a templated response this could negatively influence their opinion of senior management and damage their employee experience. Remember the purpose of employee recognition is to increase the number of engaged employees. 

On a related note, try not to send messages when you are busy, to avoid rushing it.

Rewards systems don't need to be flashy either. Sometimes, buying a colleague coffee is enough to let them know you value them as a team member.

Rewarding people on a regular basis doesn’t mean you have to incur additional costs. Offering incentives like half day holidays can also increase employee engagement, at no cost to you.  It’s also important to note that simple actions with little monetary value are sometimes as effective as bigger rewards.

Employee reward systems are complex, but the simplest way to reward employees is to understand what they value. A little competition is healthy, and creating polls that enable people to champion others is a great way to bring teams together. 

When designing a poll as part of a reward system, it’s good to think about what your organisation values,  for example innovation or collaboration. Endorsing specific contributions or values will shift company culture in that direction, so it’s important to think about the types of behaviours you want to encourage.

When choosing monetary rewards, it’s important to know what your staff like. If you want the reward to be a surprise you can ask managers what their teams prefer. Incentivising employee achievements makes people feel appreciated, and choosing a recognition programme that rewards top employees not only encourages peer recognition but increases productivity.

Employee rewards can also be holistic and include benefits that promote wellbeing. Many successful rewards platforms incentivise people to look after themselves both physically and mentally.

An employee reward system is an incredibly cost-effective solution to improve employee performance. When team members feel valued, they are more productive, motivated, and happy. Rewarding people for working towards a common goal increases the success of that particular goal, as it incentivises them to put their best work forward.

When choosing an employee reward and recognition programme, keep in mind that a little goes a long way. Introducing birthday hampers and free thank you coffees boosts morale and reduces the number of disengaged employees.

People who enjoy where they work are more likely to talk about their positive experience with friends and family, which not only demonstrates loyalty but also promotes your business to potential customers and employees.

Overall, employee rewards are a highly effective way of encouraging the behaviours and values you wish to see in your company.

When creating an employee reward system, the two main goals are to increase employee engagement and improve the employee experience. There may also be others, depending on your company values and working environment.

When you have approval from upper management, think about the employee reward system you want to build. In some workplaces, many employees value monetary rewards while others prefer health and wellbeing incentives. It’s important to take these preferences into account.
