Five Reasons to Invest in Employee Rewards
Setting up an employee rewards system is an essential part of team management. A token gift to say “thanks” or “well done” can payback tenfold - and not just in gratitude. Check out the ways that employee rewards can actually improve your business performance.
1. They encourage loyalty.
According to research undertaken by American Express, 94% of employees say that they’re more likely to stay with a company that regularly rewards its staff.
2. They show appreciation.
Of the employees who responded to a 2017 workplace happiness survey, 50% said that feeling appreciated was the factor most responsible for driving happiness in the office.
3. They’re good for your company culture.
An SMU study demonstrated a clear link between reward systems and company culture. It found that performance-based reward systems encourage independence and entrepreneurship, while hierarchy-based reward systems promote a sense of community.
4. They can help to boost productivity.
A report commissioned by O.C. Tanner asked employees what causes them to produce great work. The highest percentage of respondents (37%) answered that it was personal recognition.
5. They’re tax-free (sometimes).
Gifts deemed trivial by HMRC are exempt from tax. This might not include a full food hamper, but it does cover a bottle of wine, or perhaps a little box of chocolates.
