Employee programmes
Objective
To improve the performance of employees by assessing the issues that affect them.
Considerations
Communication, training, measurement, reward of individual and team performance are considerations which affect staff morale. Capital Incentives’ programmes are well designed, carefully planned and allow for factors such as employee legislation and the constraints of the corporate culture.
Measurement
Non-sales programmes often focus on customer service, safety records and attendance, ultimately to improve the bottom line. Objectives should be set that will achieve a measurable improvement; for example, goals for individual performance and teamwork. Management evaluation should be used as well. Capital Incentives is experienced in designing programmes that promote teams to work together, often by sharing awards, empowering staff to take greater ownership in their company’s success.
Examples of Programme Types
Recognition programmes
Recognition programmes take many forms: staff can be rewarded for good customer service or for streamlining procedures; the programmes can also be used to recognise an employee of the month. Equality is an important aspect of these staff schemes. Each member of staff should have an equal opportunity to do their job better, giving everyone an equal opportunity to be successful. By rewarding individual or team success, staff motivation programmes can increase productivity and therefore your company’s profits.
Suggestion schemes
Suggestion schemes are one of the most obvious subjects for a motivation programme and one of the easiest to measure. The financial benefits of any suggestion can be accurately calculated and linked to the reward. The secret of any suggestion scheme is the way it is promoted and how staff are motivated to participate. Participation and contribution from staff is only achieved by regular communication and feedback. The attention they receive will inspire suggestions.
Safety programmes
Particularly in industrial environments where safety is critical, safety schemes can raise awareness and provide important peer group pressure, especially if rewards for zero accidents are shared among teams or shifts. Measurement of success is easy and indisputable.
Long service
Staff commitment and loyalty is highly valued in many companies. Employee dedication and hard work over the years can be actively acknowledged through presentations or individual awards.
