Where do we go in 2023?
Recognition priorities for the new year and beyond.

2022 had a couple of road bumps – from quiet quitting to the great resignation – those real-life scenarios emerged, highlighting the need for strategies to retain employees. This is top of mind for us and it’s no surprise that at Incentive Services, we look at life through the lens of “employee-first.” And with that lens, we see a clear path to success through long-term recognition strategies.

How can you be a leader in creating a culture of belonging? By recognizing employees, you ensure that they are seen, heard, and that they know their contributions are valued. Recognition done right will help you grow engagement, fellowship, and camaraderie for happier teams and a stronger organization.

Learn how you can make 2023 your teams’ best year ever!

Newbie or not newbie – it’s all about the connection.

We have an opportunity to make 2022 the year of the renewed employee experience, and a chance to flip “the great resignation” into the “greatest year of retention”. Employers have a chance to start the employee experience off on the right foot – with exceptional onboarding, fostering a sense of belonging from day one.

This month, we’ll teach you the basics of onboarding new hires. Investing in connections on the front-end with a new hire will pay the proverbial “dividends” on the back end, creating and maintaining a thriving culture of continuous employee engagement.

The Great Resignation: Part 2
Considerations for creating your total rewards strategy to recognize & reward employees.

Last month we talked about a few ways companies can avoid being victims of “the big quit,” and we highlighted the importance of creating regular recognition experiences as part of a total rewards strategy. In this issue, we want to talk about a few considerations for creating a total rewards strategy (and how cash is a short-term solution).

We’ll share how “the big quit” may actually be an employee reshuffling, and how it gives us an opportunity to alter our most valuable employees’ experiences to retain them. We’re being given a chance to learn how to invest in our culture with engagement strategies, offering the recognition and connections that your employees seek!

Here are a few considerations for what you can do to find balance for your total rewards strategy!

The Great Resignation: Part 1

The Great Resignation: Part 1
Looking at work/life through the lens of the employee experience.

Anthony Klotz, a Texas A&M professor who came up with the phrase “the great resignation” back in May of 2021, believes that during the pandemic, people “re-imagined what normal could look like,” without commutes, with more family time, better pace, and less pressure. Comments like “Life is too short to be unhappy for five days a week in exchange for two days of freedom” have been posted; and hashtags, memes, and TikToks have emerged around “quit my job.”

So what can you do to avoid a great resignation of your own? What kind of experiences can you create for your teammates to ensure the benefits of your workplace outweigh the option to resign?

Check out some ways to keep your teams happy and dedicated to your organization!
