Incentive Options

Employee Engagement Incentives

Successful organizations use employee engagement incentives and reward programs to help retain and attract high-quality employees. HR departments deploy these programs to motivate, recognize, and retain employees.

No matter the occasion, a little bit of fun in the workplace along with unexpected gifts can boost morale, build team spirit and foster a sense of loyalty to the organization.

Employee engagement is key to maintaining a productive and motivated workforce. Engaged employees are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs, and more likely to contribute to company goals and objectives.

Use incentives regularly

  • Recognizing employees for specific, identifiable actions demonstrates that you appreciate their skills and that the company values them.
  • Employees stay when they know their work is valued. They quit when managers fail to show employee appreciation.
  • Showing appreciation for employees exhibits your workplace’s values, including respect, fairness, open communication, teamwork, and more.
  • Employee recognition is a positive way to communicate your high standards for work and your willingness to reward people with similar standards.
  • Recognizing employee teams builds camaraderie and a spirit of cooperation.
  • Offering a wide selection of incentives and awards increase the perceived value of the incentive.
  • The top five most popular gift card choices are Visa, Amazon, Target, Starbucks and Best Buy

Three key aspects to sustainable incentive programs

1. Ease of use

A well thought out system should make managing incentive programs simple. Begin with expertly crafted templates, or unleash your creativity.

2. Employee Delight

Surprise employees! Employees remember actions. It’s important that these incentive actions be regular, visible (when appropriate), and memorable.

3. Employee Choice

Curate a small number of incentive choices. Studies show that 6 or fewer choices is ideal for each program
