Employee Recognition Programs that Work:

Designed to help your organization develop a high-performing culture of recognition

Drive Desired Behaviors - Reward for Performance

What drives your employees to excel? Do they strive to outperform the competition and recognize their strengths? Are they aware that you value their contributions? Remember, your employees are partners in success. An employee recognition or incentive program can strengthen this partnership.

Studies show employee engagement and recognition go hand in hand. When employees know they are valued and appreciated, engagement soars – motivating staff to excel, and driving desired behaviors. And when employees perform, companies succeed. At its core, an employee recognition program is a foundation for driving employee engagement and the benefits that come with it.

The Cost of Employee Disengagement

How much are disengaged employees costing you? A lot! Gallup found that, on average, 17.2% of an organization’s workforce is actively disengaged, and those disengaged employees cost their organization 34% of their salary, or in other words, $3,400 for every $10,000 in salary. To illustrate, let’s look at those metrics for a 3,000-employee company.

Average Annual Salary in U.S. – $63,360

Disengagement Costs – 34% of $63,360 = $21,542 per employee

Number of Disengaged Employees: 516 (3,000 x 17.2%)

Total Cost of Disengaged Employees: 516 (employees) x $21,542 (disengagement cost) = $11,115,878 PER YEAR!
