How to build an impactful recognition program

Planning an effective and meaningful recognition program is a step-by-step process. You might be recognizing and rewarding top employees with cash, gift cards, stock options or swag. But ask yourself, are these tactics positively impacting your recognition efforts - are they improving engagement, increasing employee motivation and performance, or building a more positive company culture?  Recognition programs should be memorable, personal, and shareable, and most importantly, measurable.  

When crafting a recognition program it’s important to weigh the types of rewards you offer, but also make sure the programs you’re rewarding (such as anniversary awards, performance incentives, peer-to-peer recognition or others) reflect your company’s personality and core values. It sets the groundwork for your recognition program investment.
