Whether you’re rewarding for effort or gifting for staff motivation, individualisation of recognition is key!

The global leading experts on engagement research (Gallup) have shown in their latest analysis of 10,000 workgroups in 30 industries, when it comes to recognition, individualisation is paramount and many people prefer tangible rewards or gifts. In order for recognition to be meaningful, it must be tailored to the recipient’s preferences.

GetGifts reward and recognition programmes gives employees a choice over their own reward; one that is personal, relevant and individual to them.
