What gets measured, gets done
What gets rewarded, gets done

Reward and recognition efforts must reinforce the behaviors and the results you desire. Carefully consider whether you want to reinforce team behavior, individual behavior, or a mix. Team rewards should be anchored to the accomplishment of a team product. Individual rewards and recognition are very personal and need to have real meaning to that employee. Always, always be aware of the significance of the message you are sending through what you reward/recognize and how you do it.

Why Team Rewards?

· Work becomes fun and rewarding
· People feel challenged rather than pushed
· People know that they are being observed and performance   measured
· Creates healthy competitiveness
· People get to grow
· People become emotionally attached to their work
· Team work and collaboration are encouraged
