Flexible Rewards

Flexible rewards have become a cornerstone in modern workforce management, offering a dynamic approach to recognizing and motivating employees beyond traditional compensation structures. In today's competitive job market, organizations are increasingly realizing the importance of tailoring rewards to the diverse preferences of their workforce.

This comprehensive approach encompasses monetary incentives and extends to non-monetary and tangible/intangible rewards, creating a holistic strategy to enhance employee engagement and satisfaction.

What are flexible rewards?

Flexible rewards, also known as flexible compensation, refer to a compensation and recognition approach that allows employees to choose from a range of options based on their individual preferences and needs.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to compensation and benefits, flexible rewards programs provide employees with a menu of options, allowing them to tailor their compensation packages to align with their unique circumstances and priorities.

Flexible rewards typically encompass both monetary and non-monetary elements, offering employees a mix of financial incentives and other perks. The goal is to provide a more personalized and adaptable compensation structure that goes beyond traditional salary and benefits packages.

Encuestas sobre el pulso de los empleados:

Se trata de encuestas breves que pueden enviarse con frecuencia para comprobar rápidamente lo que piensan sus empleados sobre un tema. La encuesta consta de menos preguntas (no más de 10) para obtener la información rápidamente. Pueden administrarse a intervalos regulares (mensual/semanal/trimestral).

Reuniones individuales:

Celebrar reuniones periódicas de una hora de duración para mantener una charla informal con cada miembro del equipo es una forma excelente de hacerse una idea real de lo que les pasa. Al tratarse de una conversación segura y privada, te ayuda a obtener mejores detalles sobre un asunto.

eNPS:

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) es una de las formas más sencillas y eficaces de evaluar la opinión de sus empleados sobre su empresa. Incluye una pregunta intrigante que mide la lealtad. Un ejemplo de preguntas de eNPS son ¿Qué probabilidades hay de que recomiende nuestra empresa a otras personas? Los empleados responden a la encuesta eNPS en una escala del 1 al 10, donde 10 significa que es "muy probable" que recomienden la empresa y 1 significa que es "muy improbable" que la recomienden.

En función de las respuestas, los empleados pueden clasificarse en tres categorías diferentes:

Promotores
Empleados que han respondido positivamente o están de acuerdo.
Detractores
Empleados que han reaccionado negativamente o no están de acuerdo.
Pasivos
Empleados que se han mantenido neutrales con sus respuestas.
