How to Improve Rewards & Recognition

“Modern recognition with Awardco has created an ecosystem of appreciation. What we’ve found, as employees have recognised each other, is that they’re motivated long term. Employees want to enjoy their work and be successful, and if we recognise them for their success, they’ll know they’re doing a great job and can improve every single day.”

Recognising your team members... it's a it's a great way to build moral. To to get those team members to do that extra lorry. There's a saying, take care of the people and they'll take care of you. And by taking care of you, it's making sure that every lorry is turned in on time and every pallet is pushed through the warehouse.
