What are Micro rewards?
12
A case study
We’ve noticed that employees are driven by the anticipation of a potential reward. By making these rewards more obtainable it drives engagement. And with that a higher ROI.
We offer 2 ways to reward:1. Micro rewards for loyalty2. Micro reward for certain actions
Let’s start with the type of rewards you can offerYour employees!
Engage your employees with small rewards
Company gifts
Can be either vouchers or physical presents like t-shirts, lunches, lunch with the CEO
Integrated. Effortless. Simple.
Amazon & Starbucks vouchers vouchers
How nice is it to receive a cup of coffee? Simple and straight forward. A great way to say thanks!
Charity
Set a value on target to be reached for the employee and transfer the amount when target is reached.
Type of rewards
T
The loyalty rewards need to have a straight forward set up:
1. Levels. Create multiple moments (or levels) where your employees can receive rewards.
2. Intervals. Keep the intervals between the rewards consistent or make them incremental.
3. Reward. Choose the vouchers and the value of each reward and set them to each level.
TIP!: In general people tend to more motivated by smaller rewards that are with in reach. Set the reward too high and people might see the challenge to be too difficult.

Summary
• The candidate market place is changing
• Your employees have the potential to reach a huge range of passive candidates.
• Having a referral fee might not be enough, you need to think about how you incentivise candidates more regularly
• The more frequent the rewards, the more engagement you will get from your employees.
