  1. Do Non-Monetary Rewards Make a Difference? Dru Lucuta University of St. Thomas Master of Business Communication Program May, 2006

  2. Hays Companies Background • Founded in 1994 • Insurance brokerage business • Headquarters in Minneapolis • 250 employees • Offices in 15 major US cities

  3. Expert Opinions • Everyone has an innate need for psychological growth. • Non-monetary rewards create job retention. • Non-monetary rewards are used in an attempt to retain and nurture the best leaders.

  4. The Purpose of the Project Research Question: Would non-monetary rewards influence employee attitudes towards performance and retention?

  5. My Methods • Designed a paper survey: • Sent to 50 full-time, randomly chosen Hays Companies employees in Minneapolis office • Emailed survey as an attachment • Survey contained 14 questions And here is what I found out…

  6. Results 39 completed surveys returned out of 50 surveys administered (78% response rate)

  7. Rewards are “important” or “very important” as an influence on my performance. • Public recognition in front of other employees 33% • Growth opportunities 28% • Free trips 20% • Gift certificates 12% • Holiday party 2% • Summer picnic 2%

  8. Rewards are “important” or “very important” as an influence on my retention. • Growth opportunities 38% • Public recognition in front of other employees 25% • Free trips 25% • Gift certificates 10% • Holiday party 0% • Summer picnic 0%

  9. I am satisfied/very satisfied with the company’s current compensation system 64% of all employees surveyed indicated this.

  10. I am satisfied/very satisfied with the company’s current benefits system 50% of employees indicated they are satisfied.

  11. Non-monetary rewards would improve my work morale Only 12% answered “Yes”

  12. The answer to my research question Would non-monetary rewards influence employee attitudes towards performance and retention? YES

  13. Interpreting the Results • Only two elements were ranked as significantly important. Growth/Advancement opportunities Public recognition in front of other employees • Employees appear to be satisfied with current rewards system (salary & benefits).

  14. Recommendations • Integrate “growth opportunities” and “public recognition” in the culture of the company. • As the company grows (20 % per year current growth anticipated) rewards need to be periodically reviewed. What works today might not work two years from now.
