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.
An Indian multinational consumer and industrial paints company. It is one of the most admired companies in India and a very well-known brand.
The company has 10,000+ employees across 100+ locations in 15 countries
The company seeks to build an integrated and seamless employee rewards and recognition program spanning all units and locations.
It aims to create a culture of recognition across the organization.
The program covers monetary and non-monetary recognition initiated by supervisors and co-workers.
It also includes celebrating employee milestones such as birthdays and work anniversaries, rewards for process improvement ideas, and for participation in wellness activities.
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.
The employee data in HiFives is updated through an integration with Success Factors, the company’s global HRMS.
The HiFives platform is configured with the branding of the program including the logo, theme colors, e-certificates, and communication over email.
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.
If the reporting manager nominates his or her direct report, the award gets released instantly.
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.
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.
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.
This recognition is non-monetary and does not require any approvals.
Also, the recipient gets the e-card by email, with a copy sent to his or her reporting manager.
The HiFives platform automatically triggers birthday cards and work anniversary certificates to employees on their respective milestones.
Their immediate managers are also automatically notified over email.
Also, rewards and recognition for various employee wellness initiatives across the company are given through the platform.
Employees receive reward points for participating in these wellness initiatives.

All awards, peer recognition, and employee milestones are automatically posted on the HiFives platform’s Wall of Fame.

Also, employees can redeem their reward points for e-gift cards from leading brands.
Employees can choose from a catalog of e-gift cards from several hundred reputed brands.
