Personalising Rewards & Recognition Through Your Tailored App

The world of work is constantly changing and evolving, but one thing’s for sure: employee demand for personalised rewards, recognition and benefits is unwavering. And as it happens, personalisation is a key driver of employee engagement, retention and job satisfaction.

72% of employees state that having personalised benefits increases loyalty to their employer and 74% of employees say it would motivate them to work harder. Most importantly however, when people feel their efforts are recognised and rewarded in ways that resonate with them, it builds a true sense of trust and belonging. So, if you’re not already tailoring your reward and recognition scheme, now’s the time to start!

Join us as we explore the power of personalisation and discover how a tailored employee engagement app like ours will help you meet your people’s needs and transform business performance. Let’s get started, shall we!


The value of tailored employee rewards and recognition

We’re all wonderfully unique, each bringing something different to the table. The same goes for your employees, so it only makes sense to recognise and reward them in ways that resonate with them and suit them as individuals. By tailoring your approach to rewards and recognition to align with your people’s preferences, achievements and values, you’ll build stronger connections with them. In turn, this helps foster a positive workplace culture which encourages people to collaborate better, be more productive and contribute to business performance.

Oh, and there’s more! When businesses take the time to understand and reward employees in meaningful ways, they unlock a wide range of organisational benefits, including:

Increases employee engagement: Personalised rewards make employees feel recognised in ways that resonate, boosting their enthusiasm and commitment.

Improves retention rates: Staff who feel valued and appreciated are far more likely to remain loyal to their organisation.

Enhances staff satisfaction: Recognition that reflects individual achievements and preferences leads to higher levels of job satisfaction.

Improves productivity and performance: When employees are motivated by rewards that matter to them, their performance naturally improves.

Fosters a sense of belonging: Tailored recognition helps employees feel like an important part of the team which makes them more likely to engage and collaborate at work.

Creates a positive workplace culture: A culture of meaningful appreciation fosters positivity, collaboration, and respect across all members of the team.


How Boostworks integrates personalisation into our app

We honestly believe that the best and easiest way to deliver personalised rewards and recognition is through our Boostworks app.  

It’s built to be flexible and customisable to empower businesses just like yours to hand-pick relevant features and tailor them to suit your people’s needs. Plus, it gives your people the opportunity to get rewarded, recognise others and celebrate achievements in the moments that count, ensuring it all feels meaningful and motivating. But, more than anything, our phones are personal devices that come with us everywhere we go. Delivering an employee recognition and rewards scheme through an app that individuals have on their phones means it’s inherently personal and will naturally become part of their everyday routines.

Peer-to-peer recognition

70% of employees believe in the importance of emotional connection at work, which is why we’ve designed our peer-to-peer recognition solution to help people interact with each other and enjoy those moments anytime, anywhere.

Through the Boostworks app, people can recognise each other with ‘thank yous’, celebrate special moments together, interact with posts, and stay in the loop with news and updates posted to the Social Wall at any time, even when they’re not at work.

The Social Wall is more than just a real-time feed of content or a tool for sending quick comms to your team, it’s the heart of our peer-to-peer recognition solution. It’s the place for people to send and receive personalised messages that build connections and deliver meaningful boosts beyond the working day. Enabling individuals to connect at any point and feel part of your business’ culture at the tap of a screen is a truly powerful way to bring your team together and create a positive culture that drives engagement, morale and business performance. Pretty neat, right?

Peer-to-peer recognition

Customisable user profiles and badges

We believe in celebrating people’s uniqueness and recognising their brilliant achievements. That’s why we give people the option to add their own image and bio to their user profile, so they can express their personalities and share more about themselves. We also offer customisable profile badges that highlight specific achievements such as long service milestones and special awards, along with key individuals like Mental Health Champions. Not only does this help people feel more involved with their platform, but it also helps them build more tangible connections with others through the Social Wall – it’s nice to put a face to the name, right?

Personalised rewards

It feels incredible to be recognised for the things you do and given a reward that genuinely resonates with you. So, it’s only natural that your employees want that same feeling – 87% of employees want their rewards to be personalised!

That’s why we deliver rewards to people as points, giving them the freedom to choose a meaningful and personal treat from our catalogue of over 25,000 amazing products and experiences. Individuals can browse the catalogue and spend their reward points on the go through the Boostworks app giving them endless opportunities to find the right product(s). It replicates the experience of online shopping with their favourite retailers in the sense they can enjoy an effortless experience and the real-time feel-good emotion of ordering something exciting.

The other good news is that as an employer, you also benefit from the flexibility of our rewards solutions. You decide how, when and why you want to reward your team, and we take care of the rest, so it’s easy to deliver personalised rewards in an authentic way, even on a large scale. The outcome is less time spent on benefits admin and a happy team that feels appreciated. Hooray!

Personalised Rewards

Milestone awards

Never miss an opportunity to celebrate your team and recognise their individual achievements with milestone awards.

Whether it’s a birthday boost, reward for long service or special award for an outstanding achievement, there are many ways to boost your people through the Boostworks app.

You choose what to recognise, the reward value and options such as delivering digital certificates and posting milestones to the Social Wall, making every award truly personalised and meaningful. Plus, we can automate the delivery of awards so you can rest assured that no special moment will be missed. The beauty of it all being delivered and accessible through the app is that people can enjoy the boost of being recognised anytime, anywhere. Having those special moments acknowledged in the moment and made tangible through their personal device means that the impact will be felt far beyond the workplace.

Milestone Awards

Tailored communication

Benefit from being able to quickly and easily connect with your people to share exciting news and important updates. Through the Boostworks Admin Centre, you can create and schedule your own pop-ups to show on your platform homepage on both the app and web platform. This helps break down communication barriers by giving you the ability to send personalised messages to your people wherever they are and increase the chance of them getting through – after all, most people keep their phones on them throughout the day! It’s a great feature for helping drive engagement, even with tougher crowds like non-desk-based and remote workers.

Furthermore, research revealed that a whopping 91% of employees want more tailored communications about rewards alone. We’ve got that covered, and much more! We offer a huge range of on-demand resources and readily available comms such as emails, app push notifications and downloadable assets to help you promote your Boostworks platform and encourage your people to make the most of their rewards and benefits. That’s what will help them and your business flourish.

Enhanced accessibility

For your team to flourish in life and work, you need to deliver perks that are constantly available, easy to access and relevant. The Boostworks app gives your people 24/7 access to all their rewards and benefits from their mobile devices, ensuring they can access everything they need to thrive from their personal devices year-round. This means they never miss an opportunity to be boosted by their benefits or get recognised for their efforts.

But beyond that, it means that their employee benefits and rewards can become part of their daily life – similar to the many other phone apps. Using benefits becomes habitual. Appreciating colleagues becomes second-nature. And feeling connected to your business is a positive byproduct of that! This is particularly important in today’s world of work, where employees seek emotional connections, flexibility and support that aligns with their wants and needs. By choosing to offer an app like ours, your business can benefit from being able to deliver a tailored rewards and benefits package that works for all your employees. Exciting!

 A home for all benefits and rewards

Post-covid we saw businesses naturally adopt new systems to connect employees and new benefits to meet the ever-changing needs of the workforce. The result? Mutiple systems with multiple login details and a poor experience for employees. Thankfully, our single mobile app and web platform simplifies things by providing one access point for all your employee benefits and rewards. This quick and easy access route naturally increases user adoption and encourages employees to make the most of what’s on offer by removing barriers and putting the value into the hands of the people it’s intended for. Plus, when your people log in to their app or web platform, they’ll find it’s branded to your business to make the whole process feel more familiar and authentic.

Finally, we like to empower businesses to manage their schemes in a way that suits them. Alongside your platform, you’ll have access to the Boost Admin Centre so you can personalise your scheme further and update it as and when needed. No waiting around for us to make simple changes, you can do it yourself!
