The challenge of attracting and retaining staff has made the area of reward and recognition a tricky one for HR. On the one hand the rewards offered to employees need to be attractive against the backdrop of the competition, however this is also a prime tool for HR to motivate their staff and even create and support the appropriate culture of an organisation.

In this month’s HR World webinar entitled Reward and Recognition – is that the best you can do? Sharath Jeevan, Founder and Executive Chairman of Intrinsic Labs and Cindy Rubbens, Chief People Experience Officer at global chauffeur company Blacklane gave a thorough insight into current thinking behind reward and recognition and how HR can make the benefits they offer employees go the extra mile and truly deliver.

While acknowledging the individuality and uniqueness of approach required in creating a reward and recognition programme for a business, the panelists also identified over-arching themes in terms of ensuring rewards keyed into a business’ big key purpose, that they give individual satisfaction but also support the idea of the workplace being a place where people work together and support each other. Even in the workplace where technology can now deliver tailored rewards it was recognised that sometimes the best way to make a difference to someone’s effort is to simply say ‘thank you’.
