Seeking Urgent Advice on Launching Our Employee of the Month Program: Criteria, Rewards, and Format Ideas

Dear All,

This is Sachin Jaiswal, a new member of the HR forum. In our organization, we are starting new policies and programs. Currently, we have initiated a new program - a company newsletter. We are working on the 3rd edition, and in this edition, we plan to include the Employee of the Month as a recurring feature.

I would appreciate any guidance on the following:

1. **Parameters for Selecting the Employee of the Month**
- What criteria should we consider to ensure fairness and motivation?

2. **Suitable Rewards to Offer the Winner**
- What types of rewards are effective in recognizing and motivating employees?

3. **Suggestions for a Format, Certificate, etc.**
- How can we design a certificate or format that is both professional and appealing?

As a new member of this forum, I kindly request your assistance on this matter as it is urgent. Please share your suggestions via email at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons] or [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,
Sachin Jaiswal

I must appreciate this very nice initiative. Please find below my opinion:

1) The Parameter for the Star of the Month - You can identify that through performance every month. The star will surely shine out.

2) What Kind of Reward Should We Offer for the Winner? - You may give a certificate and a memento (depending on the cost that you may like to incur every month), which may be a trophy, a pen with the logo of your organization, a mug, etc.

You can put the employee's picture on your information board, make a star, and fix that picture with her name, designation, and department. After 3 months, all the star employees can be taken for recreation, such as a movie or Fun World, depending on your cost.

You can announce their names at birthday parties in your company where you can give them a gift. Additionally, you can send out emails with nice quotes through Outlook Express to everyone in your company.

I hope this will be helpful.

Hi Sachin,

Can you please help me with the petrol reimbursement? What should be the amount to be paid for the personal two-wheeler used for official purposes? Like Rs/km?

Thanks.
