When planning an employee incentive program, consider the following best practices: 

• Ensure the incentive program objectives are aligned with the organization's top priorities.
• Incorporate the look and feel of the organization into all incentive program components.
• Consider the goals of the incentive program and ensure participants can achieve the awards offered within a reasonable time frame.
• Budget the incentive program so that employees seldom reach any preselected/capped amount of points before the end of the period.
• Be sure to communicate the employee incentive program initially and throughout the program.
• Keep it simple-you should be able to sum up the incentive program in just a couple sentences. The more difficult the explanation, the more difficult it is to understand how to achieve the incentive program goals.
• Offer employees different ways to access the incentive program depending on employee demographics.
• Review the employee incentive program on a regular basis to accurately determine the incentive program's return on investment and change the award program as deemed necessary.
