An Employee Recognition Program Changes Everything, Part II
In the last post we talked about adopting an employee recognition program as a way to reach out to our employees. The economic conditions were impacting us negatively - not because we were not going to be able to make it through the crisis financially speaking - but because the economic climate in general, and our inability to provide salary increases, were hitting our employees hard. We were experiencing a major reduction in production - something that very much could impact the future of our business. Our employees were tired, worn out and sick of the economy. The light had gone out in them and their work reflected that. We needed to do something and an employee recognition program had been suggested to us as a way to reach out to employees affordably.
We chose prize incentives that would allow us to recognize hard work and specific achievements made by our employees. These prizes fit within our budget and allowed us to make headway without breaking the bank. Best of all we could revisit our rewards program again and again, adjusting it to our financial needs and switching up prizes to keep things interesting for our employees.
The rewards program changed everything for us; completely changing everything for our company. We are able to give our employees something to work towards without making it unaffordable for us and I know our employees truly appreciate the opportunity to earn something that they want.
With employee morale raised production has increased and we are steadily working towards a successful year and staying afloat through this economic time until things get better. Most of all, we want to continue into the future with these employees by our side and we want them to know that we appreciate their efforts and consider them long term team players.
