Effective Reward Systems,
Rewards are positive outcomes that are earned as a result of an
employee's performance. These rewards are aligned with
organizational goals. When an employee helps an organization in the
achievement of one of its goals, a reward often follows.

There are two general types of rewards that
motivate people: Intrinsic and extrinsic.

Intrinsic Rewards,
 Intrinsic motivation is internal to the person in that it is something that you have
to offer yourself and is driven by personal interest or enjoyment in the work
itself. Because intrinsic motivation exists within the individual, achieving it does
not depend on others.
 Intrinsic rewards include things such as: personal achievement, professional
growth, sense of pleasure and accomplishment.
 In Workplace, managers should;
 Provide meaningful work
 Allow workers to make choices through a high level of autonomy
 Provide opportunities for employees to show their competence in areas of
expertise

Extrinsic Rewards;
 Extrinsic motivation is based on tangible rewards. Unlike intrinsic
motivation that is self-administered, extrinsic motivation is external
to the individual and is typically offered by a supervisor or manager
who holds all the power in relation to when extrinsic awards are
offered.

 Reward and recognition:
Employees are the major contributors in the company and thus, it is necessary to
provide them with such rewards and recognition at the workplace so that they will
get motivated. Rewards and recognition are the major factors that could help to
control the behaviour of employees and change their work habits.

 Functions of reward system;

The major function of reward system is to enhance the employee motivation.

When the employees will get something more in consideration of their
contribution to organizational objectives, they will try to improve
themselves.

Under reward system, the employees are provided with variable pay scales, extra
incentives, monetary gifts, bonuses etc. which increases the morale of the
employees and they get satisfied from the job.

A handwritten thank you note or a private conversation detailing how
much you appreciate an employee’s efforts will create a long lasting
dialogue about performance while keeping your employees on the
right track.
 2.RESPONSIBILITY,
The amount of responsibility you give to an employee should directly
correlate with how capable you believe they are.

Try to throw a small break room celebration every few weeks. You can
celebrate monthly birthdays and company anniversaries with a cake,
iced with the relevant employees’ names.

Conclusion
 Reward system plays a key role as they determine the employer employee
relationship. The reward system defines what the employer is willing to
give which has a direct impact on what employees are willing to contribute
in exchange.
 Compensation and benefits alone are no longer effective as motivating
mechanism because they cant create the employee engagement required
to compete in todays complex and fast moving business environment. To
create an employment relationship, test is long lasting. Organization scan
adopt a more comprehensive view of rewards. We suggest a view that
considers the full spectrum of rewards both extrinsic and intrinsic factors.
