Challenge Beside improving the overall people experience, recognition and rewards programs offer managers and HR and people teams crucial information about their people’s likes and dislikes. For example, if a person is consistently rewarded for hard work, being a team player, and exemplifying your company values, it is easy to see that retaining that employee is a priority for your organization. Knowing who has been rewarded makes the review process simpler for managers as well! Scattered If recognition and rewards programs are implemented haphazardly, with data stored manually in scattered documents and spreadsheets, those data analytics are useless to you as a people team, and to leadership as an 3 indicator of organizational health. Solution Keep recognition and rewards data in a centralized location. This not only eases the burden on administration, but it also gives managers a transparent foundation for employee reviews and promotions. HR and people teams can quickly see who is going above and beyond for the organization consistently.
