Employee Recognition and Rewards

The potential is there. We help you unlock it.

A well-designed recognition program translates into employee engagement, loyalty, and productivity. But it’s not about giving out cash or the typical “employee-of-the-month” plaques. It’s about aligning your day-to-day activities and building a culture of recognition. It’s about making recognition a central part of your business strategy.

Recognition and rewards should be aligned with your strategy and drive your employee engagement program. They should identify and reinforce behaviours that are in line with your organization’s core values. It’s the opportunity to say — both to the recipient and to those around them — “This is who we are. This is what we want from our team.”

At BI WORLDWIDE Canada, we're a global leader in employee recognition. We know that specific, timely recognition is the most effective way to acknowledge employees’ accomplishments. We also know recognition is reciprocal, how you treat your employees will come back to you — for better or for worse.

Employee reward and recognition programs.

We design and deliver a range of reward and recognition solutions that are grounded in the science of behavioural economics, including:

• An employee recognition program that holds up both peer-to-peer recognition and manager-to-employee recognition. This empowers employers and employees to play an active part in the company’s culture of recognition.
• An employee reward points program that combines a tailored suite of tantalizing rewards with high-touch service (and budget control).
• A service awards program that recognizes employee loyalty in a personal way.

Steps to recognition and reward success.

We know there are keys to a successful employee recognition program:

• First and foremost: Engage managers. Educate them on the importance of recognition and how to effectively recognize and reward employees.
• Start at the top communicating clearly defined expectations from the beginning. This message must come from the top and be reinforced by all levels of management.
• Your values should be the building block for behaviours you recognize.
• Determine specific employee rewards and recognition strategies that are “glocal” – can be applied globally, taking into account local customs and values.
• Measure, measure, and measure again. Think employee rewards and recognition isn’t quantifiable? Think again. Accurate, ongoing measurement will keep your program front of mind — and will prove that your recognition strategy is truly making a positive impact.

Our expertise in employee recognition spans around the globe and across every industry. We’ll work with you to discover what an effective employee recognition program looks like for your company, including which rewards to offer that will be most meaningful for the people that make up your organization.

We won't deliver a one-size-fits-all approach. We are strategic about offering an employee rewards selection that features a mix of brand merchandise, lifestyle, symbolic and travel incentive rewards. We will deliver rewards that are compelling and motivating. 

Additionally, we manage reward fulfillment for participants in more than 120 countries through catalogues specific to each country. Our differentiator is local fulfillment. This, combined with our own supply chain, eliminates unnecessary “middle men” expenditures. It also enables us to make sure the rewards we’re offering are culturally relevant to your recipients.
