The provider recommends connecting recognition to specific achievements and using employees’ preferences to shape a catalog, including rewards for teams across different countries. According to the article, employee rewards and recognition motivate employees to do excellent work and help them feel more appreciation from employers. Gallup reports that employees are 73 percent less likely to experience burnout when positive feedback is a core component of company culture. Employees who regularly receive recognition are also 56 percent less likely to look elsewhere for other job opportunities. The article explores recognition through meeting acknowledgements, team lunches, gift cards, awards and private compliments. NeoCurrency argues that a reward connected to a specific achievement can carry a different emotional meaning from routine pay. The current trends in employee recognition include peer-to-peer recognition, personalized rewards, reviewing frequency, and gamification. Technology and gamification are being used to formalize company programs and ensure they are accessible to all workers. The article also notes that regular rewards have a more positive impact on work performance than annual rewards, and that offering more frequent rewards is more beneficial to work performance than a sizable annual reward. The article highlights the importance of personalization in recognition programs, as catering to a more diverse workforce means offering rewards and recognition that speak to individual employee preferences. [Deloitte](https://giftcard.news/company/deloitte/) ties personalization to business success, noting that high-performing companies are six times more likely to understand employee preferences than their low-performing counterparts. Gift card rewards are a wise choice for recognition programs because they offer personalization that cash bonuses don't provide. NeoCurrency discusses possible differences in feedback and reward preferences across generations and work environments. Its broader recommendation is to learn employees' actual preferences and offer versatile choices, including gift cards, rather than use the same form of recognition for everyone. At publication, NeoCurrency said its bulk gift card offering covered about 2,000 choices in 50 countries. The provider links that range with its recommendation to personalize rewards and let employees select something relevant. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [What’s trending with digital rewardsEmployee Recognition: How Employees Want To Be Rewarded](https://neocurrency.com/how-employees-want-rewards/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — neocurrency.com ## In this article ### Companies * [Deloitte](https://giftcard.news/company/deloitte/) * [NeoCurrency](https://giftcard.news/company/neocurrency/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Femployee-recognition-programs-improve-retention-and-productivity-with-gi-b125fa78e115%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=NeoCurrency%3A%20Personalizing%20Employee%20Recognition%20With%20Bulk%20Gift%20Cards "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Femployee-recognition-programs-improve-retention-and-productivity-with-gi-b125fa78e115%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=NeoCurrency%3A%20Personalizing%20Employee%20Recognition%20With%20Bulk%20Gift%20Cards%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Femployee-recognition-programs-improve-retention-and-productivity-with-gi-b125fa78e115%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/daniel-brooks-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/author/daniel-brooks/) Journalist — Payments, Security & PCI DSS Daniel Brooks covers payment networks, financial technology, payment security, gift card fraud and PCI DSS for Gift Card News.
