Don't leave your team behind in 2021! Now, more than ever, employee incentive programs are a necessary addition to your benefits package. Get creative! What programs can you put in place to incentivize your employees to become more productive, utilize new systems & processes, create great culture, and increase sales?
One of the biggest changes to incentive programs in recent years is to include not just sales incentives or employee performance programs but efforts to increase safety, staff attendance, client engagement, promote corporate culture and other growth and improvement opportunities across the board. Rather than promote fierce competition, today's most successful businesses are doing the opposite by building employee camaraderie.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Offer rewards for fitness challenges! Who can walk the most miles in the month of January?
The "Culture Keeper Rewards" is a great idea for motivating your team to stick to your core values when working remotely.
Celebrate years of service with rewards for 5 years, 10 years, 15 years and so on.
Instead of a boring "Employee of the Month" certificate, create unique awards for each month and allow your team to nominate someone to receive them.
Regardless of how you set-up your incentive program, one thing is an absolute must...the power of choice! 2020 taught us that employees want to choose how they're rewarded. Not everyone responds to verbal praise or cash in their pockets. An incentive program provides your team with the option to choose. They can pick items to help their foray into baking, gift cards, gaming systems, puzzles, or a new stroller for their growing family. The options are endless.
With three generations of employees in the workforce today delivering rewards faster, and implementing recognition programs in real-time, particularly through mobile tech, has been crucial to motivating workers across all ages. Green Giftz provides incentive programs which are responsive, allowing recipients to view the catalogs online via mobile, tablet or their computers. This means they can shop for rewards on-the-go and from anywhere.
