Case Study: Employee Recognition at a Manufacturing Company

Case Study of Employee Recognition at a Manufacturing Company with over 10,000 employees in 15 countries. The company utilizes the HiFives platform to implement its program.

Organization Profile

A well-known manufacturing company, headquartered in India with operations in 15 countries, that operates in the consumer and industrial products space.

Workforce Profile

The company has 10,000+ employees across the globe working in the production facilities and in functions such as sales, marketing, IT and human resources.

Program Objectives

The company was looking at creating an integrated and seamless rewards and recognition program across all its business units and locations.

Program Details

The program includes both monetary rewards and non-monetary recognition as well as celebration of employee milestones.

Platform Access

Employees can access the HiFives platform from the company’s intranet portal through a single sign-on (SSO) process, integrated with their Office 365 accounts, without using separate credentials.

Employee Data Update

The update of the employee data in HiFives happens through an integration with Success Factors, which is the company’s global HRMS

Program Branding

The HiFives platform is configured with the branding of the program including the logo, theme colors, e-certificates and communication over email.

Manager Recognition

Any people manager can nominate other employees for spot awards through the platform. There are eligibility criteria for both the nominator as well as the nominee based on their respective paygrades.

If the reporting manager is nominating his or her direct report, then the award gets released instantly. If a manager nominates an employee other than his or her direct report, it needs to be approved by the reporting manager of that employee, before it can be released.

On the release of the awards, employees receive personalized e-certificates over email. Also, the reward points are credited to the employee accounts in HiFives.

Peer-to-Peer Recognition

Also, any employee can recognize any other employee using a ‘Thank You’ or ‘Job Well Done’ e-card and personalizing it with a relevant message. In fact, this recognition is non-monetary and does not require any approvals. Also, the recipient gets the e-card over email, with a copy to his or her reporting manager.
