In a November 25, 2025 article, the provider distinguishes normal compensation from the experience of being thanked. It suggests that a delayed bonus can weaken the connection between a completed task and the employer’s acknowledgment. The company proposes smaller, more frequent recognition moments, including a digital thank-you, a gift card or appreciation during a meeting. Flexible reward choice is another option in its approach. One10’s emphasis is on timing and presentation: the employee should understand why the recognition was given and see it as a specific response to their contribution. The piece sets out the provider’s recognition philosophy. It does not propose reducing agreed pay or establish that a particular reward format produces the same motivational result for every employee. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Why Paychecks Are the Wrong Tool for Recognition](https://www.one10marketing.com/resources/blog/why-paychecks-are-the-wrong-tool-for-recognition/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — One10 ## In this article ### Companies * [One10](https://giftcard.news/company/one10/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fone10-argues-for-visible-employee-recognition-alongside-payroll-97ef5a0b8a13%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=One10%20argues%20for%20visible%20employee%20recognition%20alongside%20payroll "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fone10-argues-for-visible-employee-recognition-alongside-payroll-97ef5a0b8a13%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=One10%20argues%20for%20visible%20employee%20recognition%20alongside%20payroll%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Frewards-loyalty%2Fone10-argues-for-visible-employee-recognition-alongside-payroll-97ef5a0b8a13%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.
