Successful programs recognize that the performance and motivation of employees is one of the most significant factors influencing a company’s revenue and profitability. A good program should motivate and engage employees but must also improve your bottom line by boosting employee retention, increasing referrals, reducing accidents, reducing healthcare costs, and encouraging performance improvement.

Effective programs should promote a team environment, create positive behaviours, and stimulate the interest of the employees. High employee engagement is the key to increase your business results across the board on metrics like productivity, profitability, customer satisfaction, and safety. A recent Gallup study confirmed that there is a well-established connection between employee engagement and nine performance outcomes: customer ratings, profitability, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage/theft, absenteeism, patient safety incidents, and quality (defects).

It’s not enough to have great corporate values if your employees aren’t aware of them. To fully integrate your core values into your culture, you must align them with employee behaviour. Your values are at the core of your business, your mission, and your success. By integrating them into recognition, you can put them front and centre and encourage your employees to absorb and respect them. Your values then become part of your employer brand.

Should you decide to move forward consider a few things. An Employee Rewards and Recognition Program should be designed to communicate and recognize that employees are your most valuable asset. Your program should have the ability to provide a full range of total recognition initiatives that include peer-to-peer recognition, length of service awards, on the spot awards, above and beyond, sales and recruiting incentives, wellness, safety, and customer/distributor loyalty. You want your program designed to maximize employee motivation, increase referrals, and increase engagement and retention, while moving your organization toward its business objectives.
