Employee Recognition Programs
Organizations are increasingly recognizing that important work rewards can be both intrinsic and extrinsic.
Rewards are intrinsic in the form of employee recognition programs and extrinsic in the form of compensation systems.
Financial incentives might be more motivating in the short-term, but nonfinancial rewards are more important in the long-term.
