Why does reward and recognition feel so good? Everybody likes to hear “Well done, great job!”
We are all wired for rewards. Literally. In fact, when people receive a positive recognition or a reward, it creates a shot of dopamine, sparked by the neurotransmitters in our brains. According to Kevan Lee in his article on the The Science of Motivation: Your Brain on Dopamine, “The brain can be trained to feed off bursts of dopamine sparked by rewarding experiences.”
In today’s working environment successfully managing your team and keeping them enthusiastic and motivated has many challenges. The power of positive reinforcement can create a happier, more committed and loyal team. And what follows is a more productive workplace.
Incentives are a proven motivator and differ significantly from commission or bonuses. Cash is great but it can disappear into the bank account, pay the bills and seem unremarkable. Incentives offer a way to recognise top performers with memorable and personalised rewards and gives team recognition for a job well done!
In today’s market a successful incentive campaign needs to:
+ Create opportunities for your team to achieve
+ Recognise team performance and reward accordingly
+ Offer your team a range of rewards that are exciting and tangible
(Oh I’d like that)
It is essential to design a program that identifies what motivates, retains and improves your team’s performance. A tailored incentive program using a reliable and robust technology platform can address today’s issues of a mobile workforce, enable instant communication and recognition to on hand mobile devices, set individual goals so everyone can achieve, and offer tangible and achievable rewards.
Incentive programs will improve your team’s performance from top to bottom. And the added benefit will be a positive and enjoyable working environment and one in which everyone in the company can benefit.
