Employee Recognition for Better Engagement

You can’t expect your employees to exceed the expectations of your customers if you don’t exceed the employee’s expectations of management, rightly said Howard Schultz, an American businessman. Employee satisfaction is the key to a business growth and that’s the reason the most successful companies are known for their employee engagement and recognition mechanisms. According to one report, 69 percent of employees say they would work harder if they felt their efforts were better recognized. Michael Schroeer, Group President of Summit Recognition Solutions (SRS), is also of the opinion that an effectively designed employee engagement strategy can help outline the metrics of success for companies in achieving their overall goals and objectives. His team helps businesses ensure that their employees are engaged, recognized, and empowered to be their best. The company brings technology solutions that assist organizations in driving performance through employee engagement, HR, and sales processes that deliver bottom line results.

Summit Recognition Solutions helps its clients design, implement and measure solutions that facilitate effective engagement and communication within organizations— systems that track the employees’ performance, important business data, and achievement of objectives. The company’s core platforms—LuME and Rewards xChange—serve as the much needed tools among organizations which help them to timely track the performance of employees and recognize them for their accomplishments. LuME is a web-based platform, on which the client’s business rules are laid. It offers organizations the ability to engage and recognize the employees throughout the employee lifecycle, at every step of the way during a program.

LuME holds the ability to employ various organizational programs and track performance of the professionals involved. It’s permission-based design enables all the professionals involved in a program to view everything related to a business program and all the communication around it through the platform. It comes with various engagement and recognition tools including badging, peer-to-peer recognition, achievement of milestones, and so on. Schroeer details, “Imagine a message flashes on your phone saying if you sell this much, you’ll get a reward. It’s really dynamic.” For instance, in a sales program, LuME platform helps an organization communicate the targeted goals and the rewards associated with them to keep the sales force motivated and focused towards achieving them. Further, the company’s Rewards xChange platform gives the users the ability to convert the earned reward points into virtual currency and use them as and when needed.

The company adopts a solution design approach with which it works around gathering data about their client’s organizational objectives, work flow processes, and organizational hierarchy and runs it through their inbuilt process to develop a customized employee engagement program. The employee engagement program typically becomes part of the organizations overall employee engagement strategy, making it easy mandatory for every individual to adopt it.
