The Missing Piece of your Rewards and Incentive Program

The Missing Piece of your Rewards and Incentive Program

Blog
The Missing Piece of your Reward and Incentive Program – an online company store Let’s face it – we’re all motivated by different factors. Some of us find joy and value in doing something simply for the sake of learning and take great pride in our accomplishments (yes, we see you Duolingo aficionados!) Others of us feel most accomplished when we’ve reached a tangible goal like earning a promotion at work or finally dethroning another family member from their Scrabble-winning streak. These intrinsic (personally rewarding) and extrinsic (externally rewarding) motivators are a very real part of human nature, and different situations call for different types of motivation. In an era where we’re experiencing an ever-increasing remote workforce, it can be particularly challenging to find ways to keep your employees engaged…

Who Needs a Company Store?

Blog
Who needs a company store? Confessions of a former marketing client A few years back, I was a newly hired brand manager at a transportation company. On my list of initial projects was “launch a company store.” In talking to my director, I discovered that there had previously been a company store, but it had sort of “fizzled.” And by the way, that old inventory of branded shirts, mugs, pens, and other mysterious boxes in the basement was mine to deal with – and quickly as we were planning a move within six months.‍I must admit, I felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, I had other projects that seemed more important and relevant to managing our brand, such as launching a new advertising campaign and refreshing the branding on our…
