Effective Employee Appreciation Programs

Businesses such as automotive dealerships, manufacturing plants and sales-based organizations are driven by hard-working teams of employees. Because employees are such a valuable asset, successful companies strive to build trust, loyalty and initiative. One highly effective method is through an employee appreciation program. Appreciation is a fundamental human need and when employees are valued, their satisfaction and productivity levels rise. Organizations with an effective recognition program have 31% less voluntary turnover and 41% who use peer-to-peer recognition have seen marked positive increase in customer satisfaction.

In order for an employee appreciation program to be effective, it should have a simple, efficient reward process and desirable reward items. A popular choice for an appreciation program is a system that allocates a dollar amount to the rewarded employee to redeem online via an employee appreciation “mall” with various items to choose from.

Employee appreciation malls should include:

• Items for work – desk accessories, daily planners, desk clocks, jump drives, tablet cases
• Organization’s branded apparel – jackets, caps, t-shirts
• Personal items – cleaning products, kitchen accessories, tools, auto accessories
