Manager Recognition

Why Points-Based System Works Best For Employee Rewards And Recognition

Any people manager can nominate other employees for spot awards through the platform.

Eligibility criteria for both the nominator and the nominee are based on their respective pay grades.

The award is released instantly if the reporting manager nominates his or her direct report.

If a manager nominates an employee other than his or her direct report, the nomination must be approved by the reporting manager of that employee before it can be released.

When the awards are released, employees receive personalized e-certificates via email. The reward points are also credited to the employee accounts in HiFives.

Peer-to-Peer Recognition

This recognition is non-monetary and does not require any approvals.

Also, the recipient receives the e-card by email, with a copy to his or her reporting manager.
