Empowering Diversity: Companies Prioritize Inclusivity for Hispanic Employees and Leadership Eligibility

Why do we need a global earn points program?

By offering rewards or benefits that encourage specific behaviors or outcomes, incentives serve as powerful motivators for employees. Thus, a global earn points program is essential to help you reach your goals. Studies reveal that fostering an appreciation culture boosts engagement (6x), innovation (3x), and financial targets (1.7x). This program serves as a vital tool in achieving these benefits worldwide.

Can employees use the platform in their preferred language for navigation?

Yes, the platform can be translated into 47+ languages depending on your unique company needs.

Why do you recommend a public social feed?

The best-case practice is to enable all recognitions to be published on the social wall for desktop application users. This allows them to opt-in for recognition, fostering a community sense of belonging.

Are approvals a must?

Since this is an earn points campaign, which involves employees receiving points, it’s best to implement at least one level of approval, often the employee’s manager, adding an extra layer of security to prevent potential abuse of the program.

Phase 1: Planning

Step 1: Prior to initiating the campaign, create a list of your goals, desired outcomes, and a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor the program’s success effectively.

Example GOAL: Fostering inclusivity among Hispanic employees and advancing their eligibility for leadership roles through learning earn-points campaign.  

Example KPIs: 

#1: Percentage Increase in Hispanic Employee Recognition  

#2: High Performers Retention Rate Among Hispanic Employees 

#3: Hispanic Employees being Promoted  

#4: Number of Campaign Submissions  

#5: Number of Approved Campaign Submissions

Phase 2. Setup

Here’s how to set up the program within JobPts.

Step 1: Create transparent program guidelines and description

Each program should contain a proper and catchy description and representative image. Make sure you have this created so you can upload it within JobPts.

Here’s an example: A points-based campaign that rewards employees who complete courses, driving their skill development and learning.

Important: The best practice for sustainable R&R programs is to provide superior user experience and avoid system complexity. For this reason, 1 point is equal to 1 USD in our system. Also, our rewards catalog comes with no overhead cost or markups – you and your employee get 100% value! And we automatically adapt the purchasing power to the country’s currency and standard of living index for more equitable rewards. 

Communication

Effective communication is crucial for success. Ensure your communication plan covers before, during, and after the program implementation. Tailor it to include a mix of digital and offline channels for maximum impact.
