THANKS
People love to be thankedwhen they work hard
Thanks!
What they like is specific, authentic words of recognition
“Thank you for all that
you do.”X
Because we value a
little effort
Rewards are meaningful
GIFTCARD
And we value substance
GIFTCARD
And we value proportion and fairness
Because different levels of effort deserve different levels of thanks
Some people use eThanksto send a thank you
e
Because different levels of effort deserve different levels of thanks
But real effort deserves a real thank you

What type of recognition do you find most memorable?
That’s probably because great rewards are ones we get to choose for ourselves–gifts or gift cards or experiences that really resonate and makes us feel special and appreciated.
RECOGNITION PROGRAM
...because social recognition with reward reminds you five times how
awesome you are:
REWARD
1When you get the recognition
Great job! Thanks!
2When you get congratulated
by your colleagues
`
3RECOGNITION PROGRAM
When you pick out a gift or gift card
4When you purchase or receive
your gift
REWARD
RECOGNITION PROGRAM
5And every time you use your gift or
reminisce about the experience
Okay that’s more than five.
But the point is, people like rewards with their recognition.
REWARD
Great job!
And rewards motivate them to do even more great work.
