THANKS

People love to be thankedwhen they work hard

Thanks!

What they like is specific, authentic words of recognition

“Thank you for all that

you do.”X

Because we value a

little effort

Rewards are meaningful

GIFTCARD

And we value substance

GIFTCARD

And we value proportion and fairness

Because different levels of effort deserve different levels of thanks

Some people use eThanksto send a thank you

e

Because different levels of effort deserve different levels of thanks

But real effort deserves a real thank you

What type of recognition do you find most memorable?

That’s probably because great rewards are ones we get to choose for ourselves–gifts or gift cards or experiences that really resonate and makes us feel special and appreciated.

RECOGNITION PROGRAM

...because social recognition with reward reminds you five times how

awesome you are:

REWARD

1When you get the recognition

Great job! Thanks!

2When you get congratulated

by your colleagues

`

3RECOGNITION PROGRAM

When you pick out a gift or gift card

4When you purchase or receive

your gift

REWARD

RECOGNITION PROGRAM

5And every time you use your gift or

reminisce about the experience

Okay that’s more than five.

But the point is, people like rewards with their recognition.

REWARD

Great job!

And rewards motivate them to do even more great work.
