      Rewards & Recognition Program - FAQ

      Offering an experiential rewards program can help you create a cycle of success for your business. But, why? Below are some key thoughts to consider for your business.


      1. Why is recognition important?
      • It helps break down team barriers, increases employee engagement, reduces voluntary turnover and builds stronger company culture- resulting in happier and more productive employees.
      2. How often should peers or managers recognize each other?
      • Frequently. It’s suggested to recognize your colleagues daily or weekly for all the
        amazing work, achievements and contributions they do in their roles or for the organization.

      3. What should I say during the recognition?
      • Be specific and make it meaningful. Tell them why you’re recognizing them.
        Thank them for their hard work, impact on the company, or their care for your
        customers.
      4. Why are core values so important?
      • Attaching core values to recognition keeps employees at the forefront of your
        business. It helps your team understand the company’s purpose and helps them
        feel aligned and connected with the business and its vision and goals.
      6. How do I keep the program successful after launch?
      • Send out a survey to your team asking for feedback on the program so far. What
        do they like and dislike about the program? Do they have any suggestions on
        how to improve? Do they like the rewards available to them?
      • Use the platform as part of your communication practices at your company. For
        example, for the first 5 minutes of your team or company meetings, kick off with a
        “Good News” section on your agenda. Bring up the platform and call out some of
        the recognitions over the past week. Invite the person who gave the recognition to speak to it and give a bit more insight into the colleague’s contributions. This ongoing discussion of recognition will keep the program successful and top of mind.
      •  If not included with the initial program rollout, introduxw nominated-based awards, where all users can vote for each other for specific awards. For example, Employee of the Month, Outstanding Contribution to the Quarter, or Customer Service Excellence.
      • Encourage your Management team to use the program as often as possible. When Managers give out recognition to Employees, this will help create a domino effect and Employees will follow.
      • Introduce new Company Specific Rewards, such as Extra Vacation days, Lunch with your team, or a Professional Development course.
      • Use our available integrations to allow more tools for recognition, such as Slack, MS Teams, Outlook, and Gmail.
      • Create internal email campaigns on a regular basis reminding employees of the program. Highlight or screenshot examples of past recognitions. Below are some insightful resources to help with your company’s Rewards & Recognition program rollout. Enjoy reading some of our blog posts!
