Employee Rewards and Recognition

What Are Employee Rewards and Recognition?

While HR gurus may discuss employee rewards and recognition as one umbrella term, it’s important to note these concepts actually refer to different things that go hand in hand. Employee recognition is the regular acknowledgement and praise for a job well done, whereas employee rewards are most often tied to certain goals and KPIs and gifted to the team for their great work.

At Buyagift for Business, we can help you roll out a winning rewards and recognition programme to say ‘thank you’ to your staff. With research showing that 79% of employees [1] who left their jobs cited lack of appreciation as their motivator, our end-to-end gifting solution is a fantastic way to let your people know they’re valued and that their hard work is appreciated.

We’re in the business of making memories and know exactly how to transform your employee rewards and recognition scheme into one that motivates, inspires and thrills your team!

Memorable Employee Benefits

Employee benefits encompass all the perks, benefits and rewards gifted to employees from their employers outside the realms of monetary compensations and those mandatory in law, such as paid holiday. Instead, employee benefits are crafted by businesses to suit what makes their staff tick to motivate, inspire and delight! All things which we certainly know a lot about at Buyagift.

Incentivising Employee Excellence

Employee incentive programmes are designed to attract, engage and retain talent through the use of relevant rewards and benefits to motivate staff and boost productivity. And while incentives can be applied in a whole host of different ways – from days off to commission and other financial perks – they rarely create the same motivating impact as an experience gift to remember!

Why Us?

The Importance of Employee Rewards and Recognition Programmes

The importance and benefits of rewards and recognition schemes are two-fold – on one hand they promote a motivated and happy workforce and, as a result, this means better performance, staff retention and profits for your business on the other. It’s a win-win!
A huge part of our enjoyment of the daily grind depends on company morale and feeling motivated as both an individual and as a member of a team. Regular appreciation for your staff has been proven to promote a strong and inspiring company culture and, as a result, increase productivity, reinforce top performance, foster employee confidence and build positive working relationships.
In fact, a recent survey found that over 91% of HR professionals [2] believe recognition and reward programmes make employees more likely to stay at their company because of the positive environment they create. And higher staff retention has many more benefits than you may have thought of at first.
A lower employee turnover rate not only shows your business is a fulfilling place to work, but it also saves you from a whole host of costly complications. From recruiter fees, to time for interviews, advertising and training costs to name just a few, overheads can quickly escalate when retention drops. And just as costly is the resultant hit to morale for the remaining team!
The fact of the matter is this – when employees feel happy and valued at their workplace, their engagement, loyalty and performance are positively impacted. Now that’s what success looks like.
