ABB gives managers and supervisors an easy and consistent tool to use to make effective recognition presentations. The tool includes a personalized recognition certificate with frame, small gift with corporate symbol, personalized letter from ABB’s CEO and gift brochure with ordering instructions. Stevens said ABB employees pick their own gift from a selection of lifestyle items that are constantly upgraded to reflect the latest styles and trends. “Electronics seem to be the most popular, and employees can choose from digital cameras, flat screen TVs, GPS systems and more. “The great part about the program is how easy it is to use. We simply send our employee recognition data and once gifts are ordered by the employee, they arrive promptly, and if there is ever a problem with the gift, one call to customer care corrects the problem,” Stevens said. The time-honored practice of recognizing a company’s employees has changed considerably in recent years — from the technology that drives the program to the lifestyle gifts that are offered. Today’s recognition programs — many of which are global in nature — are more brand focused and flexible, and are customized to reflect the core values of the brand and culture of the company. When it comes to employee recognition, cash is not always king. George Fina is president of Michael C. Fina, a leading provider of worldwide corporate employee recognition programs.
