Benefits of reward and recognition

We all know that reward and recognition is a powerful tool for improving company culture and proven to increase employee engagement and reduce employee turnover:

• 1 in 2 employees say they would stay longer in a company if they feel recognized and appreciated ()
• 72% of businesses agree that recognition impacts engagement positively ()
• 79% of millennials surveyed said an increase in rewards would make them more loyal to their employer ()
• By doubling the number of employees they recognize every week, companies can improve work quality by 24% and reduce absenteeism by 27% ()

And while the benefits of reward and recognition will come as no surprise to people managers, it’s not the ‘why’ but the ‘how’ that tends to prevent employers from achieving their reward and recognition goals. But not anymore!

Hero Points; the easiest way to reward and recognize your team

Here’s how Hero Points make it easier than ever to increase loyalty, engagement and performance:

Automated recognitions and celebrations

Under , you can choose to allocate a specific amount of Hero Points per employee for birthdays or work anniversaries. Under , you can choose to allocate a specific amount of Hero Points per employee when they’re recognized by their peers for representing one of your predefined company values.

Remember, peer-to-peer recognitions must be approved by an admin, so there’s no need to worry about improper use. 

Hero Tip: At 91±¬ÁÏ, we’ve increased the amount of Hero Points allocated per approved recognition, but simultaneously increased the standard for which recognition will be approved.

Real-life rewards for real-life purchases

The best part about Hero Points is that your employees can choose how they redeem them, making the recognition even more valuable to them. Hero Points can be used to purchase (either in whole or in part) from their favourite retailers, including Tim Hortons, Ardene, Uber Eats, Indigo, Starbucks and more!
