Read the Latest Incentive News From and About Incentone

This is our second year offering a Baker’s Dozen of employee recognition and incentive outsourcing providers. Traditionally, incentive providers were limited to delivering corporate awards, fitness and wellness rewards, food and entertainment compensation, retail gifts, or travel awards. But in the past three years, we have seen a transformation in the full-service employee recognition market, with providers offering so much more.

Listed here are the top 13 providers who offer the entire package of employee recognition—plan design, staff motivation, performance tracking, rewards distribution, and recognition goals. End-to-end providers work with HR clients in identifying objectives, pinpointing which employees deserve recognition, developing programs, coordinating communication, selecting and delivering incentive packages, promoting programs, distributing awards, and completing evaluations, just to name a few.

As employee turnover becomes a major issue, a well-defined employee recognition program can stop the bleeding. Employees want to feel appreciated, and the right incentive program can do just that.

This special section also includes user feedback from HR executives who have seen success with outsourcing their recognition programs, case studies that focus on establishing an incentive program for a global giant and using incentives to promote workplace safety, and an in-depth look at why cash is not always the best gift.
