Dear All,
I am designing a reward and recognition scheme for my company, which is primarily a manufacturing organization. I want to design it in a way where its criteria are permanent and there is no possibility of partiality. I would request you all to suggest some strong criteria for awards like Employee of the Month, Employee of the Year, and Employee of the Quarter.
Please advise.
Thanks a lot.

Hello friend,
I would suggest that you prepare a list of possible recognition and rewards. Below are a few suggestions:
1. Man of the Month/Quarter/Year
2. Best Kaizen awards [Top 3] + all Kaizens will be recognized and rewarded with a gift coupon of say Rs 100/-
3. Best Suggestion Award [Top 3]
4. Long Service Award
5. Top Performing Teams - Annually you could consider 7-10 teams to be awarded.
6. Exemplary Award - for exemplary work/outstanding performance - Individual as well as team
7. On-the-spot award for a good job done - to be given by the section head/departmental head [may be a gift coupon worth Rs 200/- to Rs 500/-
The on-the-spot award will need to be spontaneous, so there is no need for an elaborate evaluation process, and it will be at the discretion of the superior. You may limit the total number of such awards in every department for the full year to maintain control.
For other awards like Kaizen, Suggestion, etc., a panel to evaluate the contributions will eliminate partiality. The evaluator's panel could also be changed every 6 months.
For annual team awards, there could be a specific panel of judges who would evaluate the projects completed during the year and finalize the criteria for ranking based on impact on sales growth, profit, cost reduction, quality improvement, system improvement, employee motivation improvement, productivity improvement, etc.
It may be worth discussing the proposed awards in the senior management group and deciding which recognition/rewards to be initiated in a phased manner as all possibly cannot be implemented at once. Also, their inputs on refining the type of awards will be useful.
I hope these ideas will be of some help.
