how to make reward and recognition sustainable

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important, both in business and beyond. For a business based in British Columbia, the importance of sustainability currently hits close to home while wildfires rage across Canada.

Such devastation as a result of global warming highlights the need for us as businesses to take responsible actions but also awakens consumer opinions — influencing purchasing habits to favor businesses openly pursuing greener measures. 

Increasing sustainable processes can challenge operations and mean that other important factors are forgotten, but it doesn’t mean that reward and recognition need to be neglected. 

Reward and recognition are an important part of business and key to improved employee engagement and retention. Showing effective appreciation creates a sense of value amongst employees to generate a loyal and motivated workforce who are eager to positively engage with the business and generate results.

So how can you ensure you’re showing reward and recognition successfully while maintaining sustainable actions?

Reward and recognition can be shown in many different forms. Recognizing employees during appreciation weeks, holding company events, awarding corporate gifts, monetary rewards, paid time off, gift cards or even just a shout out are all proven incentives for improved performance and ways of showing genuine appreciation and gratitude for hard work. 

On a larger scale, events and award ceremonies are ideal to bring employees together and publicly highlight appreciation. If you’re looking for ways to implement greener processes and still reward hard work with gifts or awards, we can help.
