The company presented personal appreciation as a factor to consider when designing a rewards programme. Its recommendations included varying the form of recognition and involving managers and frontline employees in the process. The company also stressed that a message should describe the accomplishment being recognised rather than offer only general praise. Elite Rewards argued that recognition could contribute to productivity, retention, customer service and a stronger workplace culture. The post included performance percentages attributed broadly to studies, but did not name the studies or provide their methodology, so it did not establish a quantified result for a particular programme. The company also described a platform in which employees could select their gift, choose an available colour and use a wish-list feature. Those capabilities were presented as ways to reflect recipient preferences within the reward process. The article offered employer guidance rather than announcing a new product or publishing findings from an Elite Rewards customer deployment. Its practical focus was the timing, relevance and participation built into recognition. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [How Employee Recognition Programs Impact the Bottom Line](https://www.eliterewards.biz/how-employee-recognition-programs-impact-the-bottom-line/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — eliterewards.biz ## In this article ### Companies * [Elite Rewards](https://giftcard.news/company/elite-rewards/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Felite-rewards-discusses-the-impact-of-employee-recognition-programs-on-t-6a75f68ce21a%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Elite%20Rewards%20Outlines%20Employee%20Recognition%20and%20Gift%20Selection%20Guidance "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Felite-rewards-discusses-the-impact-of-employee-recognition-programs-on-t-6a75f68ce21a%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Elite%20Rewards%20Outlines%20Employee%20Recognition%20and%20Gift%20Selection%20Guidance%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Felite-rewards-discusses-the-impact-of-employee-recognition-programs-on-t-6a75f68ce21a%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/suzie-elis-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Suzie Elis](https://giftcard.news/author/suzie-elis/) Journalist — Gift Cards & Digital Gifting Suzie Elis covers gift card products, digital gifting and distribution for Gift Card News.
