Appletree Answers - Recognition and Rewards

 Jack Taylor started Enterprise Leasing on the premise that if he treated his customers and employees well, profits would follow. 

Companies use rewards and recognition to motivate employees and demonstrate that they are appreciated. Often, rewards and recognition take the form of extra compensation for employees who carry out the activities in the role outcomes and meet their objectives. Rewards and recognition can also be given for team-based accomplishments. 

Even the best-trained and well-skilled staff cannot perform well when they are not motivated enough. This is why employee recognition in the workplace has to be an innate part of my company's culture. 

Employee recognition is the acknowledgement of a staff member who has performed exemplary service. This reinforces particular behaviour, practices or activities that result in better performance and positive results. 

It is important for employees to be held in high regard by their peers and that is what makes employee recognition important.  Even so, employee rewards can be as candid as a pat-on-the-back and a genuine compliment. It can also be as simple as a 'thank you' email or friendly greeting at work. 

  • This makes employees happier
    • that makes them more productive
    • there is a feeling of job mastery and that they are fit for their role and for the company
A structured recognition program could look like this:
  • All employees must be able to be recipients of recognition - that means include work anniversaries.
  • Make sure celebrations are on their milestone date or as close as possible
  • Take the time to personalize the reward experience
  • If leaning towards a traditional program, seek a provider that can offer a catalogue of gift options
  • Provide high-quality gifts
