They\u2019re the ones who keep the cogs turning, drive growth and work actively towards achieving your goals.\n\nLet\u2019s face it \u2013 without them, you wouldn\u2019t be where you are today.\n\nIn today\u2019s rocky job environment, it might seem like an uphill battle. With the impact of the Great Resignation creating a competitive recruitment market, it might make a change of scenery for employees all too enticing.\n\nBut there is one thing you can do to keep your employee retention rate high. And it starts with upping your <strong>employee recognition<\/strong> game<strong>.<\/strong>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-an-employee-recognition-program\">What is an employee recognition program?<\/h2>\nAn employee recognition program is a system that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\">acknowledges and rewards employees<\/a> for their performance, achievements or behaviours that align with your company\u2019s values.\n\nThe purpose of an employee recognition program is to show your employees that their hard work is not only noticed but also appreciated.\n\nWhen done right, an employee recognition program can result in increased employee engagement, motivation and satisfaction, leading to improved employee retention.\n<h2 id=\"why-is-employee-recognition-important\">Why is employee recognition important?<\/h2>\nEmployees who feel valued for the work they do will show higher levels of engagement within your business. They will contribute more, innovate and smash goals.\n\nAnd it makes sense, when we feel valued and recognised we\u2019re motivated to seek the warm fuzzies time and time again.\n\nIn turn, employee recognition at work ensures the attraction and retention of a quality workforce.\n\nThis is why recognising employees is very important for businesses that want to succeed. You want your employees to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/ways-to-appreciate-your-employees\/\">know that you appreciate all their efforts<\/a>.\n<h2 id=\"are-there-different-types-of-employee-recognition\">Are there different types of employee recognition?<\/h2>\nYes! There are different types of employee recognition, and the type you choose will depend on your company\u2019s needs and goals.\n\nHere are some examples of employee recognition:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personal recognition<\/strong> or the acknowledgement of individual expertise, unique talents and qualities of your employees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognition of work practices<\/strong>, such as demonstrations of creativity, innovation and improvements<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognition of dedication to work<\/strong>. If your employees showcase quality contributions to your business objectives, this should be rewarded<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognition of progress<\/strong> made on meaningful or longer-term projects<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognition of results<\/strong> on an end product and how the task has been completed<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognising employees who embody company values<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-employee-recognition\">What are the benefits of employee recognition?<\/h2>\nRecognising achievements, efforts and behaviours that align with your company values is a great business tool for a plethora of reasons:\n<ul>\n<li>An effective employee recognition program helps to support a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/workplace-culture-bundle\/\">culture of performance excellence<\/a> and improves employee productivity.<\/li>\n<li>Recognition reinforces the standards you want all of your employees to reach<\/li>\n<li>Builds employee engagement and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/outgrowing-role\/\">promotes job satisfaction<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fosters retention of quality employees lowering your staff turnover and ensuring you have a dedicated team behind you<\/li>\n<li>Reduces stress and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/psychological-safety-survey-template\/\">builds an environment of trust<\/a> between employer and employee<\/li>\n<li>Encourages greater creativity and innovation in the workplace<\/li>\n<li>Fosters a culture of appreciation that values employee contribution and improves employee morale<\/li>\n<li>Promotes ownership, involvement and interest in work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBut, having an employee recognition program is not just what you bring to the table for your team. The benefits are echoed for employers, too.\n\nCreating a culture of recognition can impact your bottom line by fostering a safe workplace with <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/leaders-guide-company-culture\/\">positive company culture<\/a>, increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-happiness-survey\/\">employee happiness<\/a> and in turn, improving employee productivity.\n\nWhat\u2019s even better is that many forms of recognition in the workplace are absolutely free and require little time to set up.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"good job thumbs up\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28143\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/goodjob5.gif\" width=\"445\"\/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Yes, show me the thumbs up\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"employee-recognition-and-reward-ideas\">Employee recognition and reward ideas<\/h2>\nNow that you&#8217;ve decided that you want to introduce more employee recognition into your workplace culture, where do you start?\n\nIs positive feedback alone enough? Or should you provide recognition by <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-reward-ideas\/\">giving employees tangible rewards<\/a>?\n\nAs a first step, you&#8217;ll need to find out what your people value and will engage with. This can be done with the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-surveys\/\">employee surveys<\/a> to find out what truly want when you decide to reward employees.\n\nBelow are some examples of high and low-budget employee recognition ideas you can implement in the workplace.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Examples of employee reward and recognition\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2416\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/EH_0016_BlogPost_RewardandRecognition-2-1024x683.png\" width=\"690\"\/>\n<h3 id=\"high-budget-employee-recognition-ideas\">High budget employee recognition ideas:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lunch clubs for high performers or people that reach their targets<\/li>\n<li>Weekends away for successful teams over a quarter<\/li>\n<li>Income bonuses for high performers<\/li>\n<li>Tickets for events, attractions, concerts or activities of interest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"low-budget-employee-recognition-ideas\">Low budget employee recognition ideas:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Merch with your company name; water bottles, mugs, hats, t-shirts &#8211; anything that your MVPs (most valuable players) can wear around the office to show that they did something great<\/li>\n<li>Let them be the office DJ for the day (A niche one!

But, how can you ensure this and give everyone that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/employee-experience-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">standout employee experience<\/a>?\n\nYou need to have a strong employee recognition strategy for <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/make-employees-feel-valued\/\">how you make your employees feel valued<\/a> and recognised for the work they\u2019re doing.\n<h3 id=\"1-get-personal-while-giving-private-recognition\">1. Get personal while giving private recognition<\/h3>\nTo provide meaningful recognition, it&#8217;s important to be <strong>specific, personal and accurate<\/strong> when providing private employee recognition. Use positive words, and demonstrate to the employee that you actually understand their accomplishments.\n\nOutline employee achievements and exactly what they did well, how it impacted a particular project or scenario and highlight exactly how that happened because of their individual successes or participation.\n\nThe more personal recognition, the better as it shows your employee that you really were paying attention to them and their work.\n\nBy offering a non-monetary reward as a form of recognition, you are making employees feel valued and cared for. Who doesn\u2019t love a genuine and thoughtful gesture?\n<h3 id=\"2-use-recognition-software-to-encourage-public-recognition\">2. Use recognition software to encourage public recognition<\/h3>\nWhile <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">verbal communication<\/a> is clearly the most effective way to recognise employees, the best strategy is to back it up by publicising employee accomplishments across multiple forums such as company newsletters, dashboards and in team meetings.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">Technology-based employee recognition software<\/a> is a great way to do this. They should be mobile-friendly, allowing public recognition to happen anytime, anywhere.\n\nIf you don&#8217;t have the budget to invest in recognition platforms, you could initiate something as simple as a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-working-software\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Slack channel<\/a> dedicated to recognising hard work.\n<h3 id=\"3-create-reward-programs\">3. Create reward programs<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-reward-ideas\/\">Personalised rewards<\/a> are a great way to celebrate employees when they go above and beyond at work. A good way to find out what meaningful rewards looks like to your employees is to ask them directly by conducting surveys.\n\nThis way you can use the findings to create recognition programs based on what they really care about. This could be a team lunch, day off, volunteer days, movie tickets or an experience.\n\nAt <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/\">91爆料<\/a>, we reward our team through our employee recognition platform using <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/hero-points\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hero Points<\/a>. Hero Points can be used in Discounts, 91爆料\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">online marketplace<\/a> with access to savings on thousands of everyday items.\n<h3 id=\"4-monthly-and-yearly-employee-recognition-awards\">4. Monthly and yearly employee recognition awards<\/h3>\nAlthough it might seem like a novelty, organising monthly and yearly service awards are a fun way to show thanks to top players in your company.\n\nWhether it\u2019s going above and beyond in their role, innovating at every chance possible or contributing to different projects, it\u2019s one way to show gratitude.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"employee of the month award gif\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2638 size-full\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/employee-of-the-month.gif\" width=\"480\"\/>\n\nTo get started, decide on the categories you want to award. This could be employee of the year, employee of the month, top innovator, star team player, leadership, growth or meeting targets \u2013 the list is endless.\n\nHave some trophies made up, a prize waiting (this could be gift certificates, an extra day off, or even an all-expenses-paid company trip) and host a gathering to announce the winners.\n<h3 id=\"5-motivate-with-financial-incentives\">5. Motivate with financial incentives<\/h3>\nWhile monetary rewards to employees are the go-to for many companies, studies have found that offering financial incentives is less effective compared to providing benefits to employees.\n\nAccording to a survey by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/ecs-q3-2015\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Glassdoor<\/a>:\n<ul>\n<li>79% of employees would prefer new or additional benefits over a pay increase.<\/li>\n<li>Specifically, the survey found more women (82%) than men (76%) prefer benefits or reward perks over a pay raise.<\/li>\n<li>Younger employees aged 18-34 (89%) and 35-44 (84%) prefer benefits or reward perks to pay raises when compared to those aged 45-54 (70%) and 55-64 (66%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis is because they can be remembered long after the payment hits their bank account.\n\nThis brings us back to checking in with employees and asking them what they want from an employee recognition program.\n\nAlthough financial incentives aren\u2019t always the best motivators, they can certainly demonstrate appreciation for work well-performed. If you have the option to offer monetary bonuses, this is one way to keep your team actively engaged.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"money please gif\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2639 aligncenter\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/money-please-gif.gif\" width=\"245\"\/>\n\nOur suggestion when it comes to offering bonuses? The best financial incentives are more open-ended and unpredictable because they motivate people to work their best at all times.\n<h3 id=\"6-introduce-an-employee-share-scheme-ess\">6. Introduce an employee share scheme (ESS)<\/h3>\nNothing says reward and recognition like having an employee share scheme (ESS).\n\nAn <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/how-to-create-an-employee-share-scheme-ess\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">employee share scheme (ESS)<\/a> \u2013 also known as an employment equity plan \u2013 is a program that offers your team members shares or options for your company. This means that they\u2019ll become part-owners of the company they\u2019re working for.\n\nEven though an ESS is commonly synonymous with startups, this type of scheme is open to businesses of all sizes.\n\nOne of the main benefits of an ESS is that it encourages employees to think bigger picture and with a growth mindset because their contributions can directly impact the growth of the company.\n\n<strong>The result?<\/strong> A win\/win situation for all involved.\n<h3 id=\"7-encourage-peer-to-peer-recognition\">7. Encourage peer-to-peer recognition<\/h3>\nAs well as you or your leadership team setting up reward and recognition incentives for your employees, you should also encourage peer-to-peer recognition.\n\nPeer-to-peer recognition has a huge impact on the performance and overall job satisfaction of everyone in your business. It can:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Help build a trusting company culture <\/strong>by creating transparency amongst different departments and authorities. It also eliminates old-school problems of managers taking credit for their direct report&#8217;s work or ignoring the value of a piece of work<\/li>\n<li><strong>It will help boost employee engagement and retention<\/strong> as employees are motivated to work harder to impress colleagues and therefore stay at their jobs longer where they receive acknowledgement and praise for work<\/li>\n<li><strong>Empowers teamwork across the business<\/strong> for team-based projects as individuals feel more appreciated by their peers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"What does peer to peer recognition look like - 91爆料\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2640 size-full\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/What-does-peer-to-peer-recognition-look-like-Employment-Hero.png\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/What-does-peer-to-peer-recognition-look-like-Employment-Hero.png 1200w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/What-does-peer-to-peer-recognition-look-like-Employment-Hero-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/What-does-peer-to-peer-recognition-look-like-Employment-Hero-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/What-does-peer-to-peer-recognition-look-like-Employment-Hero-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n\nTry to encourage giving recognition that is meaningful and make sure your team are recognising achievements or behaviours that are truly worthy of being recognised.\n\nFor example, employees who go above and beyond their everyday job roles to get something done or fix an urgent problem.\n<h3 id=\"8-review-your-incentives-regularly\">8. Review your incentives regularly<\/h3>\nWe suggest reviewing your employee reward and recognition program at the end of every financial year, as a minimum. The main thing to review is if your company can afford to keep running all the incentive programs.\n\nFor instance, are there some that cost the company a lot more money than you intended? Go over the programs and re-assess. You also want to make sure your employees are actually happy with the new rewards they&#8217;re given.\n\nCreate an <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-engagement-survey\/\">annual engagement survey<\/a> to get regular feedback and check in with what your employees really think. A simple tool like Google Forms can do just the trick.\n<h2 id=\"companies-with-employee-recognition-programs\">Companies with employee recognition programs<\/h2>\nWhen it comes to successful recognition programs, there are some big companies out there who are already pathing the way for the rest of us.\n\nHere are some great examples of employee recognition in action to give you some inspiration.\n<h3 id=\"1-disney\">1. Disney<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Walt Disney Company logo\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1922\" height=\"243\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Disney-logo-300x182.png\" width=\"401\"\/>\n\nFirstly, we have the childhood giant Disney, which has over 180 employee recognition programs set up to date! One of these programs is a really good example of how sometimes it is a good idea to think outside of the box and find something unique to your business.\n\nThis can be seen at Disney, where they have an employee recognition program set up that&#8217;s named after Fred, a longtime employee who during his time at the company exemplified the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/how-to-create-company-values\/\">qualities the company values<\/a>, such as dependability and friendliness.\n\nEvery year, plaques are made for winners of the <em>Spirit of Fred Award <\/em>for any employees that have shown some <em>Fred-like qualities<\/em>. There are even bronze statuettes of the company&#8217;s most iconic character, Mickey Mouse, for the winners of the Lifetime Fred Award.\n<h3 id=\"2-google\">2. Google<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"google logo\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12727\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/google-logo-png-google-sva-scholarship-20.png\" width=\"2508\"\/>\n\nGoogle learned through experience that non-monetary rewards motivate people better than cold hard cash. The internet mastermind is stepping away from the idea of generously rewarding their people with the big bucks.\n\nThey discovered that these types of employee recognition programs were fostering jealousy and resentment within their business \u2014 which wasn&#8217;t the positive response they had in mind.\n\nSo Google phased out the cash rewards program and rolled out a new employee rewards program that offered experiences \u2014 everything from dinners out to new tech gadgets to trips to Hawaii.\n\nEmployees said they found the new program more fun, memorable, and thoughtful than the cash awards.\n<h3 id=\"3-nike\">3. Nike<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"nike logo\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12726 size-full\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nike-Logo.png\" width=\"3840\"\/>\n\nThe sports retail giant, Nike, recognises and appreciates their employees by providing them with opportunities to stay fit and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/workplace-wellness-bundle\/\">support the wellness<\/a> of their families.\n\nFrom paid sabbaticals to product discounts and tuition assistance, Nike works to help employees stay engaged and motivated at work.\n\nThey have also set up <em>NikeU, <\/em>which helps with leadership development by growing leaders to better hire, manage, and recognise their teams.\n<h2 id=\"the-wrap-up\">The Wrap Up<\/h2>\nEmployee recognition and positive feedback are powerful tools for getting the best out of each employee. The tips outlined above are good starting points, but depending on your business and industry, you can custom-design other employee recognition programs that reflect your organisation&#8217;s particular needs.\n\nWe&#8217;ve built employee rewards and recognition into our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">employee recognition software<\/a> to make recognition easier for employers.

why not?\n\nThey&#8217;re a great way to get the whole team aligned and engaged with the overarching business goals and will help to increase employee satisfaction and decrease employee turnover.\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" data-trigger-modal=\"request-a-demo-modal\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link-arrow is-style-link-arrow--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-brand-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/resources\/?topic%5B0%5D%5B0%5D=Product\">View all<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query blog-3-col-query-loop is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-3 alignfull wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-2 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-27886 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized resource-type-blog\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-neutral-100-border-color has-white-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px;min-height:100%\"><figure style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;width:100%;height:100%;
