Incentive Award Program Setup Checklist
- Determine whether the award program will be paper-based, online-based or a combination of both.
Depending on the demographics of the incentive program's audience and participant's access to computers, the incentive program can be paper-based, online-based or a hybrid award program combining both print and web-based components.
- Decide on the level of administrative capabilities and reporting the incentive program should provide your company.
Our incentive programs include complimentary reporting available and our web-based incentive programs allow administrators and sub-administrators to access program database information and reporting online anytime.
- Distinguish the goals and criteria that must be met for points to be awarded.
Incentive program goals should be developed to encourage behaviors that accomplish organizational objectives. Goals can be rolled out at different intervals as the incentive program progresses to help keep it fresh and relevant to participants.
- Establish an incentive program budget and the points to be awarded for each goal that is attained.
Knowing the total budget amount allotted for the incentive period and the number of goals in the incentive program, one can calculate the dollar value to assign each incentive program goal. Program goals might need to be weighted so that objectives that take more effort to reach have greater rewards in return.
- Schedule an implementation date for the program.
Once we receive the incentive program information and artwork, most programs are able to kickoff in ten to twelve business days.
- Decide if you would like to have any special artwork or themes integrated into the program.
Modern incentive programs have company logos or images incorporated into the incentive program components. Incentive program themes can also be utilized to entice participation and produce excitement around the award program.
- Decide how to communicate the incentive program initially and in the future.
Communicating program information to the individuals eligible for participation is an important aspect of setting up an effective and relevant incentive program. Awards Network can create customized communication devices including: posters, emails, letters, flyers, program statements, award cards, order forms, announcements and other media all branded to match your company and incentive program.
