Core Rewards designs and manages employee recognition programs that make appreciation timely, meaningful, and easy to scale. Our platform brings recognition, program communications, points, and rewards together in one place, giving your organization a more consistent way to reinforce the behaviors that matter most.

## Why Employee Recognition Matters

Employees want to know that their work is seen and valued. A well-designed employee recognition program makes appreciation more consistent while reinforcing the behaviors and achievements your organization wants to encourage.

- Employee engagement
  
  Give employees a reason to stay connected to their work and your goals.
- Retention and loyalty
  
  People who feel valued are more likely to stay.
- Manager effectiveness
  
  Give managers a simple, consistent way to recognize their teams.
- Performance and productivity
  
  Reinforce the measurable activities that drive results.
- Culture and company values
  
  Connect everyday recognition to what your organization stands for.
- Peer-to-peer appreciation
  
  Let colleagues celebrate each other, not just managers.

## How Our Employee Recognition Programs Work

1

### Recognize the behaviors that matter

Tie recognition to measurable activities, milestones, quality goals, service standards, company values, or any other behaviors that matter to your organization, so every moment of appreciation reinforces what drives your business.

2

### Make recognition easy for managers

Give managers a consistent, simple way to recognize employees when meaningful achievements happen, right at the local level, without making the program difficult to administer.

3

### Create a personalized employee experience

Employees get a branded program experience where they can receive recognition, engage with program communications, track their points, and access rewards, all in one place.

4

### Offer rewards employees value

Employees redeem earned points for the merchandise and experiential rewards they actually want, with more than 50,000 reward options available in our catalog.

5

### Measure participation and impact

Track recognition activity, participation, redemptions, and program results so you can see what is working and refine the experience over time.

## Case Study: Healthcare Company Increases Employee Satisfaction 20%+

### The challenge

A national healthcare company wanted to increase employee satisfaction by recognizing and rewarding more than 13,000 homecare clinicians. The organization wanted recognition to happen at the local manager level, and to make the experience more personal and meaningful while supporting loyalty and retention.

### How we helped

Core Rewards designed an employee recognition and reward program with two goals: motivate increased performance in key cost-saving and quality-of-care activities, and bring a positive, inspiring element to the company culture.

- An integrated technology platform, from data exchange on the back end to a branded program website for participants
- Program communications, a points bank, and a rewards catalog with more than 50,000 merchandise and experiential options
- Printed recognition cards with unique codes, tied to measurable activities, so managers could recognize clinicians on the spot
- Employees entered each code on the program website and points were added to their accounts

### The results

- **20%+** increase in employee satisfaction since program launch
- **13,000+** homecare clinicians included in the program
- **50,000+** merchandise and experiential reward options available

The client has since used the platform for additional seasonal and service-driven initiatives.
