If you are thinking of introducing an employee reward system to your company you should consider a few point s before you implement anything. The most popular employee reward scheme is the Employee of the Month award, it is simple to organise and is usually run on figures. This scheme is used quite a lot in sales jobs, and probably in that field more than any other, good sales people get the rewards but what about the medium level and the sales persons who are not as experienced and are struggling to get going

If a sales person is good at their job and regularly hit targets there isn’t much call for them to be in competition with their peers who don’t finish as strongly at the end of the month. If the best seller repeatedly gets the employee of the month award other workers could start to distance themselves from that individual which in turn will be looked up on as the bosses favourite. Ask yourself this. What does it look like when one person who is already successful attains further riches at the expense of his or her colleagues It looks bad and it will create discord in the ranks.

After a while this scheme eventually folds in on itself by getting passed around to all the employees. This usually happens after someone points out to the manager that the troops are getting disgruntled with the situation. By this time the damage is usually done and the award has lost its prestige and no one really wants it as they know it is a token gesture to keep them happy.

The best way to combat this is to never start a competition based on sales figures. If you want an effective employee award system talk to us as we are the experts.
