Incentive and reward programs that have measurable criteria for achievement will eliminate any misperceptions about favoritism. You can build popular employee incentive/reward programs to recognize the following:
- Creative thinking (Who named a new product/service or came up with the best cost-saving solution?)
- Sales or productivity targets and service milestones
- Health- or safety-related goals
- Community service hours, if your organization prioritizes and supports volunteerism
- Customer care that goes above and beyond
