Seeking Ideas: What Key Traits Should Define Our Employee of the Month?

Dear All,

We have to work on Employee of the Month in our IT company. I have worked on a few parameters. Please suggest what could be added to these:

- Punctuality
- Regularity
- Discipline
- Initiative
- Behavior with colleagues

Please suggest what more measurable parameters can be added to this.

Regards,
Meenu

How do you plan to measure behavior with colleagues and initiative?

Behind your "Employee of the Month" concept, there must be a reasoning. Check out where your employees lag and where you need to encourage them. Based on these observations, design the criteria and the measuring methodology. Make it clear to the people; otherwise, it will be just an HR measure that won't enjoy any credibility among employees and won't help your organization.

People use things like successful employee references, target overachievement, etc.
