Employee Incentive Programs reward exceptional employees for reaching work goals, achieving milestones or simply doing a good job. These types of programs are designed to offer incentive and rewards to valued employees. Employee Incentive Programs have proven very successful in arousing motivation in employees and increasing the overall performance of the company. An incentive program is a great way to show employees that you value their input while at the same time increasing your businesses potential.
Here are the top ten reasons your company needs an Employee Incentive Program.
#1 Mutual Rewards
An Employee Incentive Program is mutually beneficial. The employee feels valued and motivated and is therefore more productive and committed. The company reaps the benefits of a motivated, focused and loyal employee. The results of Incentive Programs have a consistent theme. The company’s bottom line increases as the employee’s productivity peaks.
#2 Increased motivation
Many people find it hard to motivate themselves at work. This is a common occurrence and one that has been significantly effected by Incentive Programs. These programs motivate employees by offering rewards for reaching targets and company goals. These come in many forms ranging from cash to cars to holidays to gifts. The rewards are a great motivator but what is more inspiring for the employee is that the company cares enough to offer these incentives.
#3 Increased company morale
Rewards, incentives and recognition make for a happy, harmonious working environment. Goal setting and targeting objectives helps with focus and purpose. Employee Incentive programs offer all of these things and are highly conducive to company morale. Increases in company morale help to reduce absenteeism and overall company costs.
#4 Increase company loyalty
Company loyalty is not something you can buy. However incentives for good work and rewards for hard work go along way to securing commitment from employees. Employee incentive programs show employees the company values their input and their work. If an employee feels valued and appreciated they are more likely to form an allegiance to the company.
#5 Increased productivity
Incentive programs promote productivity in a number of ways. Employees are offered incentives for reaching targets or for good work in general. These incentives vary but the main aim is to encourage employees to work towards company goals. With the promise of incentives and clearly defined targets employees are more productive and motivated.
#6 Increase objective achievement
Incentive Programs are a great way to reach targets and company objectives. Using an Incentive Program employers can set realistic goals and reward employees when the reach them. This is a great way to boost productivity and morale while at the same time achieving company goals.
#7 Reduced company costs
Overall company costs can be reduced as a result of an Incentive Program. This cost can be measured in terms of reduced absenteeism, reduced recruitment costs and turnover of staff. You will also see a significant return on your investment via increased productivity and motivation within the office.

#8 Reduced Absenteeism
The bottom line with incentive programs comes down to the very simple fact that people like being rewarded for hard work and a job well done. The rewards are only part of the equation. Incentive schemes show employees the company cares and appreciates the work they are outputting. If an employee feels appreciated and has clear targets that result in rewards then they are more likely to want to come to work.
#9 Team Work
Incentive Programs promote teamwork and foster an environment that is conducive to success. Employees working towards rewards or targets will pull together to achieve desired results. Teamwork increases efficiency and creates harmony within the workplace.
#10 Decreased Turnover
Incentive Programs foster happy, productive working environments. Employees enjoying this kind of environment will be more likely to stay long term. This means incentive programs reduce the amount of turnovers within the company. The advantage of consistent staffing is that you are not spending money on recruiting or training new staff. You are also able to retain loyal committed employees with a vested company interest.
Just imagine integrating a rewards and recognition program from I Love Rewards with your Time and Attendance System from TimeTECH!
TimeCosting is software designed to collect, analyze and monitor labour distribution and job allocation information. TimeCosting enables both supervisory and senior management levels to monitor labour information. TimeCosting actively tracks both time and cost elements associated with each aspect of activity. All relevant database information is commonly shared by both systems. Time and Attendance pay-rules defined in TimeKeeper can be automatically applied to labour costs analysis.
TimeCosting also includes:
- Flexible Multi-Level Data Capture Configuration
- Flexible Multi-Level Rate Assignments
- Wage and Charge Separation
- Flexible Application of T&A Rules
- Integrated Attendance/Activities Full Screen Editing
- Automatic Wage Retention
- Automatic Default Job/Activity Allocations
- Flexible Data Import/Export Facilities
- Variance Reporting to Actual Attendance Total
Employees sign in using biometrics, swipe card or NFC. Once the employee has signed in, he/she can use a bar code scanner, or touch screen to choose the job in which he/she is going to perform.
This is great for tracking specific jobs for billing purposes, or when employees are paid more for specific job duties.
The TimeCosting module can also be accessed online through iBrowse. (TimeTECH‘s online time and attendance gateway)
TimeTECH’s iBrowse allows users and administrators to access their time and attendance system anywhere they have an internet connection.
In some organizations, employees are allowed to work from home, hotel, airport, or even on the beach which makes iBrowse a great time and
attendance solution.
Not only can users clock in and clock out, but they can request vacation time, see available vacation days left; pull up their work hour history and more!
Administrators can view employee records, make changes and run reports from the comfort from their own home or in the local coffee shop.
iBrowse is definitely gaining a lot more popularity since employees are working from home a lot more due to rising gas prices.
Take the office where you are!
In either Internet or intranet configurations, iBrowse provides both employees and supervisors a location-independent tool for entering and reviewing attendance, absence and activity-based costing information. iBrowse, developed using state-of-the-art internet technology, is a true n-tier web-enabled application.
iBrowse:
Turn their desktop into a “punch clock” for both attendance and activity-based costing
- Can display in/out times or duration
- Calculate and display total attendance, total costing hours and attendance-costing variances
- Display both daily and pay-period attendance and costing summaries
- Filter/specify data format & employee groups to display for each supervisor (thereby significantly streamlining the review and authorization process)
- Require supervisor and/or employee approval for entered/modified data via electronic signatures.
