Despite the tough economy, keeping your current workforce happy is still very good business. Almost 90 percent of U.S. employers tackle that challenge by offering employee recognition programs, according to a recent national survey, and more than half planned to offer brand-new rewards for their workers this year.
What trips up many employers, though, is not the justification for employee recognition programs–it’s the execution. Tighter HR budgets these days make it difficult to change or expand your current rewards, even though your workers may be clocking longer hours and juggling more responsibility than ever before.
It’s tough to bridge the gap between your current recognition programs and newer types of rewards that your employees may honestly prefer. You’re also dealing with the challenge of proving the bottom-line value of your employee rewards to the top managers in your organization–who are undoubtedly trying to cut budgets across the board.
