I just saw this great article from my Incentive Services partners that really nails this issue.
I’ve been around long enough to see Service Award change from just jewelry to heirloom choices to lifestyle awards and to fully integrated recognition, employee engagement and performance management solutions using merchandise, points, gift cards and more.
Along the way, we’ve seen the reliance on software and technology grow and fresh ideas sprout up along the way. Unfortunately, there have always been shortcuts that, while they seem to make sense on first blush, often don’t have all of the tools necessary to have staying power and provide the best results.
Like most people, I’ve fallen for the perceived quick-fix solution that seems to have all of the new bells and whistles, is easy to use and seems to have all of the tools I need. Soon thereafter I begin to get buyers remorse and realize that it’s really just a plug and play technology that’s expensive and I’m left having to figure out how to use it and share it with my team.
