PrintWhen to Recognize and Reward
There are no hard and fast rules about when or what types of occasions merit special recognition. Some of the more common reasons for recognition and reward are:
- length of service (usually landmark anniversaries like one, five, 10, and 20 years of service, for example)
- retirement
- safety (usually more common in manufacturing businesses, this includes recognition for achieving a certain number of days without an on-the-job injury)
- attendance (six months or a year without an absence is the typically rewarded goal)
- productivity
- customer service
- superior performance awards (usually for outstanding effort and achievement on a specific project)
- employee-of-the-month programs
