What they like is specific, authentic words of recognition
“Thank you for all that
you do.”X

Because different levels of effort deserve different levels of thanks
But real effort deserves a real thank you
YOU HAVE RECEIVED A
RECOGNITION REWARD!

Most told us eThanks are not as fulfilling as rewards
Some even find them to be a disappointing let down.
We asked employees how they felt about eThanks in our Workforce Mood TrackerTM report

eThank you cards aren’t as fulfilling as recognition with an associated gift or reward
eThankyou cards alone (with no economic value) are exciting and rewarding to receive
eThankyou cards alone are disappointing or a let-down to receive
Which of the following statements do you agree most with?

In our Spring 2014 Workforce Mood TrackerTM report we asked them why
They told us it’s because rewards make recognition
most memorable.

What type of recognition do you find most memorable?
![Page 14: Thanks but no E-Thanks](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a50d731a28abdf588b4825/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
That’s probably because great rewards are ones we get to choose for ourselves–gifts or gift cards or experiences that really resonate and makes us feel special and appreciated.

...because social recognition with reward reminds you five times how
awesome you are:

1When you get the recognition
Great job! Thanks!
![Page 17: Thanks but no E-Thanks](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a50d731a28abdf588b4825/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

5And every time you use your gift or
reminisce about the experience
![Page 21: Thanks but no E-Thanks](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a50d731a28abdf588b4825/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Okay that’s more than five.

But the point is, people like rewards with their recognition.
REWARD
Great job!

And rewards motivate them to do even more great work.
