employee incentives
E
mployee turnover is
expensive—costing as much
as six to nine months’ salary in
recruiting and training expenses
according to the Society for Human
Resource Management. That’s why
successful companies know how
important it is to keep employees
engaged and motivated. Besides
providing a great culture and good
benefits, an important part of the
employee engagement puzzle is an
effective incentive program.
From the recruiting process, to
onboarding and length-of-service
programs, to wellness programs,
thank-you gifts and job-well-done
rewards, the opportunities are
there for promotional products
distributors to help their clients
better engage their workforces.
According to the Incentive
Research Foundation, 75 percent
of U.S. businesses use non-cash
rewards and recognition to
motivate and engage their
workforce, spending more than
$77 billion annually.
