How to Increase Employee Retention with Incentive and Recognition Programs

GLS Group creates unique programs for employers to use, which helps them increase employee retention with incentive and recognition programs. These are programs that we customize to suit each one of our clients and are designed to recognize and appreciate employees for the efforts that they make for your company.

There are a lot of different components to a recognition incentive program which, when adopted, can really help grow your business and keep your employees happy and loyal to your company.

• Onboarding
• Service awards and life event acknowledgment
• Special achievement awards
• Social/peer to peer recognition

Onboarding

Onboarding is an organized effort to bring a new employee into the culture which pays off in engagement and performance. One way that you can help show your new hires that you care about them is with an onboarding gift. It's a great way for a new hire to come into the company. It shows that you are investing in them, as much as they are investing in you.

Service Awards and Life Event Acknowledgement

Service awards are a great way to show a long-time employee that you recognize the effort and time they have put into your company. This can be as simple as a gift just to show your appreciation. 

Another great way to recognize people is to celebrate their life events. Acknowledge when they've had a baby, adopted a child, when they've gotten married, and even their birthdays.

Special Achievement Awards 

Many people are unhappy with their job because all of their hard work goes unnoticed. We offer quick and easy ways to help them feel recognized. 

Social and Peer to Peer Recognition

This form of recognition is great because it puts recognition in the hands of those closest to the work. It makes your employees feel like they're a part of the team and that their efforts do matter. 

Employees that received one and a half to two awards each quarter feel more appreciated for their performance, and thus they're more engaged.

Employee engagement and recognition is extremely important to not only the success of your business but the personal success of each and every one of your employees. If you need help with an incentive and recognition program, contact us at GLS Group today.
