Validate Efforts Regularly... Repetition is Key
i-gifts™ have the unique advantage of offering multiple rewards over a period of time, rather than a one-time gift that may be forgotten in several weeks. Incentive programs that continually remind employees of their skills and achievements bring about increased confidence and greater productivity.
Choose a Gift that Generates Excitement
One way to get the most mileage out your incentive budget is to choose an unusual gift, something that is not expected, one that suggests celebrating an achievement. If the reward generates excitement and ignites your employees' imaginations, it will be easier to increase and maintain their motivation.
Choose A Gift That Will Be Remembered and Will Evoke Feelings Of Pride
Often the impact of rewards lasts only until they come home and say, "see what I won today." And if it's some kind of merchandise, there will always be the risk that it doesn't work properly or gets stuffed in a closet!
When you give one of our six gourmet product lines, each of which can be shared with friends and/or family, you give pleasant experiences that linger, and when shared, foster pride and self-confidence. Your employees will be proud to share their victory!
Set Clear Goals and Criteria and Reward Levels of Performance
Of course, it's very important that your company goals and the criteria for receiving rewards are very clearly defined, recorded for all to see, and restated regularly. Make sure that the goals are attainable by several people and consider setting levels of attainment so that many can be winners.
With an i-gifts™ program, you don't have to look for many different rewards and worry about how the value of each is perceived. Simply offer a different number of months tied to different levels of performance. And because more employees have a chance at winning something, it will be easier to maintain momentum and sustain the excitement.
