OfficeTeam’s latest survey shows, about 1/3 of companies ineffective at rewarding good performance.
Workers who feel their good work often goes unnoticed may have a case. More than one-third (35 percent) of professionals polled recently said businesses are ineffective at rewarding their employees’ strong performance. Thirty percent of managers surveyed agreed.
The OfficeTeam article goes on to offer four easy yet meaningful ways to recognize staff:
- Say thanks. Don’t underestimate the power of saying “thank you,” either in writing or in person.
- Celebrate achievements. Honour employees’ accomplishments in front of their peers. Staff events recognizing individuals or groups can enhance morale while highlighting exemplary behaviour.
- Give the gift of time. Reward staff accomplishments with extra days off or extended lunch breaks. Time away from the office allows staff members to recharge after major projects.
- Provide plum assignments. Give strong performers the option of working on desirable projects. Doing so improves their motivation and enthusiasm for their work, and encourages others to excel in their positions.

Toronto, Ontario (I LOVE REWARDS) and TimeTECH have entered into a partnership to provide businesses a way to reward their employees on human behaviours associated with Time and Attendance.
Says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman, “People can collect loyalty cards and points everywhere they go…so why not have the ability to collect, and be rewarded in your workplace? Wouldn’t it be nice to get something back for being a loyal employee?”
Employee retention, job satisfaction, attendance and employee attitudes are often a struggle in some organizations. Statistics show that these challenges are improved when employees feel that they are being rewarded for their efforts.
Both TimeTECH and I LOVE REWARDS have trusted technology that will benefit businesses looking to automate and integrate a Rewards & Recognition program and Time and Attendance system. This solution will increase employee satisfaction, while saving companies thousands of dollars in operational costs associated with Time and Attendance.
