Proven Ways To Boost Activity On Your Reward & Recognition Platform

So, you’ve got your new reward and recognition platform up and running — congratulations! Now the final step is putting it to work, and easiest way to make sure the program is a success is by having a team of engaged employees.

Using a recognition platform should be an automatically rewarding experience, and for many workplaces it is. Being rewarded for a job well done feels good, and rewarding others feels even better. Occasionally, however, it can be a challenge to get your team active on the platform and engaged with rewarding and recognizing their colleagues.

To help overcome this challenge, we’re sharing a few suggestions that can help start your platform on the right foot, or even revitalize your existing program with some fresh new ideas:

  • If you’re starting up a brand new program, why not give your employees a boost with $5-$10 worth of points per employee who signs in during the launch week?
  • Host a trivia event in the office, with a prize pool featuring items from your reward platform.
  • If your organization has health and safety training or similar workplace training initiatives, why not incentivise employees with a point bonus for completing their courses?
  • Reward employees who take on wellness initiatives like biking or walking to work, or taking part in workout classes.
  • Do you volunteer in the community around the holidays? Employees will be encouraged to send in their stories and will be entered into a point draw, right in time for some holiday shopping.

If your company generally operates in a more remote capacity or has multiple offices, you could also consider incorporating physical materials at common checkpoints to encourage more participation. This can be as simple as a sign by the water cooler, or a full on campaign with flyers and handouts (as a nice bonus when you use a program like MyReward, you have access to a creative team that can create these kinds of materials).
