What isn’t great about birthdays, weddings and anniversaries? Picking out a gift. You’ve known your friend for years yet she tells you all she wants for her special day is to celebrate with friends and family! Lies.

Who says you have to wait until someone’s birthday or service anniversary to recognize his or her special day? Most employees have different priorities and motivators. Awarding good behavior with cash rewards is painfully easy. Think about the consequences when you’re making an employee associate a number with his or her hard working habits. What happens when that person uses all the extra money to pay off a credit card? Their sense of achievement disappears and you’re back at square one. Consider making your employee awards truly special. Employee awards are a splurge item and provide benefits that cash cannot.
SHRM’s article explains how non-monetary compensation can maximize effectiveness in aligning the goals of the organization with the emotional priorities of its people.
The Incentive Research Foundation’s analysis indicates that across a variety of industries non-cash awards can capture employees’ imaginations better than cash—thereby motivating them to increase performance. Need an example of non-cash employee awards?
A survey by Staples Advantage provides promising results: The non-cash incentive rewards program resulted in 85% of participants feeling more valued, 70% are happier and more motivated at work, 65% are more loyal to their company and 60% are more productive and able to get better results. Employee awards really are better and more effective at increasing employee engagement and morale than a cash award.
Don't you think it's time to start recognizing your rockstar performers with employee awards they truly want?
