How to Approach Rewards and Incentives for Employees
If any of the questions above left you unsure or scratching your head for answers, you’ve come to the right place.
At QIC, we start by asking, “What are you doing today?” and then we synchronize your current recognition efforts under one umbrella. Once we get a clearer picture of your overall strategy and business objectives, we round out your recognition operations by incorporating additional, custom employee recognition program solutions that work in tandem with what is already in place in order to achieve your goals.
The key? Don’t overthink it! Many businesses aren’t even aware that holiday parties or occasional gift card awards already count as recognition, and we are not in the business of trying to overhaul award strategies that work or that employees have come to expect. Instead, we identify strategic opportunities in your current recognition matrix that will synchronize these efforts with your unique goals.

Employee Recognition Programs Should Align with Company Culture
When developing employee recognition programs for your company, it is important to take into consideration the day-to-day personality of your company and its employees. Below are some corporate characteristics and some suggestions on how to tailor your recognition program to fit these specific values.
- Social – Social offices are generally home to employees who love to acknowledge and interact with each other. Incorporating peer-to-peer elements into your program will give them the tools to enhance their already strong culture of recognition.
- Metrics-Driven – If your company is constantly setting and achieving goals it would be beneficial to work those same indicators into your program. Giving special point bonuses for achievement of those hard-to-reach annual goals is a great way to motivate your team and keep those goals on the radar all year long.
- Competitive – We all enjoy a little friendly competition now and again. If this is something your company values, consider placing a leaderboard on your recognition site. This board will let all the participants know where they rank with points earned during a specific period.
- Communicators – If your employees value “being in the know” regarding recognition program and company information, consider sending out regular emails to your participant base. These emails could include point balances as well as monthly corporate communication or program updates. Another suggestion would be including a monthly newsletter on your recognition site.
Remember, when it comes to employee recognition programs, make sure to customize it to meet your company’s cultural needs. Work with your program manager to add new features and indicators that engage and inspire your employees.
