Corporate award programs can do just as much for the company as they do for the employee.
Study after study confirms the positive effect of employee recognition programs on a company’s staff at large. Corporate awards programs can also do the company good:
- By enhancing a company’s reputation
- By motivating employees to take pride in their work
- By winning confidence in customers for your organization’s expertise
- By raising the company profile within the industry and improving networking opportunities
Relevance & Newsworthiness
Whether an employee, a team or the organization itself, winning an award can get your company free publicity, getting your name out into the community in a cost-effective way. Unlike placing -and paying for- advertising, a press release about the award can inspire a business editor to write a story in the business section of your local paper, journal or news website. Editorial content can expand awareness about your business in a way that paid advertising simply cannot.
