3 Top Tips on Using Our Platform to Encourage Your Team

Did you know that 40% of employees report feeling under-appreciated at work? (1). This lack of encouragement can seriously impact their motivation, wellbeing, and relationships with managers.

To mark National Encouragement Day, we’re here to help you change that! Discover how you can use your personalised Each Person platform to show your team they are genuinely valued and keep them motivated.

Check out our top tips below to start encouraging your people today!  

Make the Most of Personalisation

From bespoke rewards to unmatched recognition opportunities, you can truly prove to your people that their efforts do not go unnoticed. Employees are 4.6 times more likely to perform better if they feel valued (2). Even a simple “thank you” can have a profound effect.

With our latest update to the ‘Recognition’ feature, you can create your own Ecard! Why not take the time to encourage your team by highlighting the excellent work and determination they contribute by sending a bespoke Ecard. Get creative and keep your team motivated with relevant, fun feedback.

You can even go a step further and send a voucher to your people for something they would love. Giving your team a personalised reward encourages them to keep up with the standard of work they are currently producing whilst showing you pay attention to their likes/dislikes.

Highlight Excellence & Hard Work  

Recognition can be an excellent way to encourage your team. If employees receive praise for their actions, not only are they more likely to repeat it but they also are 20x more likely to be engaged in their work (3).

Utilising our ‘Nominate’ function, you can easily celebrate employee of the month within the whole company or department. This is a perfect opportunity to show off the individuals who are dedicated to their role and enable them to feel valued by everyone in the company for their continued hard work.  

Highlighting excellence and hard work encourages your team to perform better because they know the people around them will appreciate it. Not only will this motivate your team, but it can also increase retention and positively impact your work culture.

Show Off Your Benefits

A company which offers a wide range of benefits that support all areas of living can drastically improve their employee's wellbeing which, in turn, helps their performance at work! In fact, 65% of employees who have access to rewards and benefits say they feel happy and secure in their job (4).

Offering benefits shows your team you care about their lives beyond the business, and our recent benefit update enables you to host them all in one place. Show off Each Person and its unique benefits to remind them of the opportunities available to them.

Encouraging employees to utilise benefits can help them recognise the value your business offers and can increase their satisfaction in the workplace. Not to mention, the improvements they can see in their health and motivation!
