The cost of getting recognition wrong
Generic gifts don't make people feel valued
Generic gifts and cash bonuses don't make staff feel valued, and manually ordering individual rewards, with no expert guidance, wastes hours of HR's time. What started as a meaningful gesture breaks down in three ways.
Generic feels like an afterthought
A one-size-fits-all reward does nothing to reinforce your own culture or employer brand.Individual purchases are expensive and time-consuming
Ordering rewards for large groups of staff is a manual process, and without expert guidance it's hard to know which experiences will actually land.Tax risk is a real worry
Getting it wrong can mean unexpected tax liabilities for staff, breaching UK Trivial Benefits rules, or watching reward budgets get eaten by tax.
