Ever experienced the struggle of sending gifts to your remote employees? Whether it’s an electronic gift card or a tangible item, we all know it’s a logistical headache. Then there’s not knowing whether they’ll even like or use it.
But what if we told you there’s a solution for this?
Introducing Custom Company Rewards
With PraisePal’s unique points-based system, users can use their recognition points in exchange for a wide range of rewards that they actually like. No more worrying about what to give them for their work anniversaries or birthdays; simply give them PraisePal credits or award them with points, and let them choose whatever they want with their points earnings.
Take your pick from two types of PraisePal rewards: global gift cards and custom company rewards.
Both reward types can be redeemed at any time, as long as your points earnings are sufficient. You’ll also be happy to know that your earnings points for rewards don’t have an expiration date, so you can use them as and when you like.
Let’s take a closer look at our custom company rewards.
How Custom Company Rewards Work
Giving rewards to employees and teammates shouldn’t just be easy; it should also be fun. Companies can create their own customised rewards that are aligned with their unique corporate culture, allowing them to translate their core values into tangible rewards.
This can include anything from exclusive company merch, a social media feature on your company’s page, or even an entire day of zero meetings. The options are endless.
