Peer To Peer Incentive Programs At Awards Network

Its in the news: no recognition hinders employees productivity! According to a recent

article in The Economic Times, employees consider lack of recognition of work as the biggest hindrance to their productivity. When a company decides to implement an employee recognition program, its easy to fall back on old-school recognition forms. Some old-school examples you should stay clear of are: employee luncheons, recognition in the office newsletter, names posted on bulletin boards etc. I dont know about you, but to me these sound like horrible ways to recognize an employee. My brain immediately turns to grade-school flashbacks of standing up in front of the class and going red in the face. And what could be worse than seeing your name misspelled in the company newsletter because someone in marketing who has never heard of you couldnt be bothered to look up the correct spelling of your name? Lastly, as a person with food allergies, an employee luncheon could be detrimental and deadly.

You may not have heard, but there are much better ways to recognize your employees. May I suggest a peer to peer recognition program? Because really, who knows your employees better than their fellow co-workers? A couple of stand-out programs come to mind when I think of great employee recognition programs. Employees in these successful programs consistently write lengthy descriptions about their fellow employees going above and beyond. And as the saying goes, you scratch my back and Ill scratch yours, after being recognized, employees are more likely to become a nominator themselves.

Many of the program administrators and managers are ccd on all the nomination e-mails so they can monitor what is being submitted. This also gives them a chance to see a birds eye view of the day-to-day workings of their office. A great client phone call may go unnoticed if the person in the next cubical didnt overhear and nominate that employee for a job well done. I have also seen very personal and detailed nominations submitted that only employees working right alongside someone would have noticed.

Im not faulting upper management for not opening their office doors, but a peer-to-peer recognition program is a great way to reward employees who are doing fantastic things in the workplace. Sometimes its impossible to see whats happening in every department all the time. Employees often have apprehension about talking to a manager even in positive situations. An online portal for recognition gives employees an easy and quick way to recognize their fellow co-works and then get back to work!
