Elite Rewards

When Sarah, a junior software developer, logged into Co-workers Corner that morning, her dashboard was brimming with activity. Her colleagues had taken to the platform to acknowledge her outstanding performance on a recent project, sending virtual high-fives and encouraging compliments. This wave of peer-to-peer recognition boosted Sarah’s sense of belonging, making her feel valued and recognized.

For Sarah and her colleagues, Co-workers Corner dashboard is the epicenter of team engagement. It is a hub for celebrating personal milestones, fueling friendly competition, and turning everyday work into a series of exciting challenges. Important company updates, from new product launches to team achievements, are posted and shared seamlessly. Employees eagerly participate in contests and challenges, knowing their efforts would be recognized and rewarded through the platform’s interactive features.

The impact was undeniable. Employee engagement soared, turnover rates decreased, and workplace culture became a model of positive reinforcement. Co-workers Corner had turned recognition from a scattered activity into a dynamic, integral part of daily work life, transforming the company’s culture and helping employees feel truly valued and motivated.

This is what makes Elite Rewards’ employee rewards and recognition platform stand out.

“We have put together a one-stop platform that combines variety, customization and flexibility to foster a culture of appreciation and support,” says Tom Coffeen, senior VP of sales, Elite Rewards. “It is designed to help employers achieve their goals related to employee retention, training and team cohesion.”

Elite Rewards’ platform provides resources for effective team-building activities like rewards cards—for bowling nights, escape rooms or team potlucks— fostering camaraderie in a relaxed setting and enhancing employee engagement and retention.

The company’s Co-workers Corner platform has also integrated a philanthropic component, where employees can donate their reward points which will be converted into monetary donations, to a selection of charities. This option has proven popular, creating a culture of giving back and enabling employees to contribute to causes they care about.

To launch its program, Elite Rewards begins by discussing the specific needs and objectives, including identifying pain points for specific customization for each organization, with the key stakeholders. Multiple meetings are held before the platform officially launches, and a kickoff session is conducted to ensure that everyone is informed and prepared.

After the launch, Elite Rewards conducts monthly or quarterly reviews to assess its effectiveness. These reviews identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments based on feedback so that the platform evolves in response to the client’s needs.

“The program’s success is measured by its alignment with client goals and ability to adapt. Many features in the Co-workers Corner, like e-learning modules, gamification elements and custom recognition badges, were added based on client requests and have contributed to the platform’s growth and effectiveness,” says Jeff Magner, VP of growth and client strategy, Elite Rewards.

Complementing the company’s customer-centric approach, which has led to numerous client success stories, the strength of Elite Rewards’ programs lies in its authenticity, deeply embedded in the company’s culture and values. The company prioritizes authentic appreciation, crucial for retaining millennial and Gen Z employees. Its regular donations to local causes further highlight its genuine dedication to both employee appreciation and community support. This approach reflects its core identity and serves as a model for other employers and clients.

Over the years, Elite Rewards’ flexibility in customizing the recognition platform to meet the specific needs of each client has contributed significantly to its success. This adaptability continues to help clients looking to create cohesive environments for their employees.
