Récompenses extrinsèques

Extrinsic rewards are a piece of carrot on a stick that helps to achieve better performance. They can be in the form of rewards, money, gifts, or are based on individual efforts.

While these types of rewards do tend to increase productivity in most circumstances, they also influence an employee's attitude and willingness to perform.

What are extrinsic rewards, with an example?

Extrinsic rewards refer to external incentives given to employees, such as bonuses, gift cards, pay raises, or public recognition. For example, a sales executive may receive a performance bonus for exceeding quarterly targets. This reward motivates behavior by offering a visible and desirable outcome.

What are examples of extrinsic rewards in the workplace? 

Les exemples les plus courants de récompenses extrinsèques pour les employés sur le lieu de travail sont les suivants :

  • Rémunération
  • Bonus
  • Récompenses basées sur les performances
  • Commissions de vente
  • Gift cards
  • Remboursement des frais de voyage
  • Assurance maladie
  • Prestations de retraite
  • Promotion
  • Éloges et reconnaissance
  • Incitations et primes

What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic rewards in HRM?

In Human Resource Management (HRM), intrinsic rewards are internally driven, such as a sense of achievement, job satisfaction, or personal growth.  

In contrast, extrinsic rewards are externally driven, like salary, perks, or awards.  

While intrinsic rewards appeal to an employee’s emotional and psychological needs, extrinsic rewards and motivation often drive short-term performance and goal-oriented behavior. An effective HR strategy leverages both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to foster sustained engagement and productivity.

What are the 4 types of extrinsic factors?

The four main types of extrinsic rewards factors include:

  1. Monetary rewards – Bonuses, salary hikes, stock options, etc.
  1. Tangible non-monetary rewards – Gift cards, gadgets, merchandise, etc.
  1. Social recognition – Public praise, certificates, Wall of Fame shoutouts.
  1. Promotional benefits – Promotions, role-based perks, or exclusive opportunities.

These factors, when used effectively, contribute to employee satisfaction, retention, and performance.

Pourquoi les récompenses extrinsèques sont-elles importantes ? 

People have a natural tendency to do things that they enjoy and get rewarded for. In the workplace, extrinsic rewards can be used to encourage employees to perform their duties more efficiently. 

Here are some of the benefits of extrinsic rewards in the workplace are:

  • Boosts employee motivation: Extrinsic rewards are often used as incentives to motivate employees to perform better or maintain high standards. They can also be used as a punishment for poor performance by withholding rewards from workers who don't meet their targets.
  • Improves Employee retention: Extrinsic rewards such as bonuses or salary increases can be used to retain valuable employees who might otherwise leave for another company offering better pay or benefits.
  • Build teamwork: Extrinsic rewards help build teamwork among employees because they allow them to work together towards common goals. When people work together with shared goals, they tend to develop stronger relationships with each other as well as stronger commitment towards achieving those goals successfully.
  • Helps in performance improvement: Employees who feel motivated by extrinsic rewards will be more likely to improve their performance over time than those who don't receive any external motivation at all.
  • Increases employee productivity: They increase employee productivity because employees have something to work toward achieving such as raises, promotions and bonuses. When employees know that their hard work will result in something positive such as a raise or promotion, they tend to work harder so that they can reach their goals faster so that they can receive their reward sooner rather than later.

Quand les récompenses extrinsèques doivent-elles être utilisées sur le lieu de travail ? 

Extrinsic rewards should be used when you have a specific goal in mind that you know your employees will find rewarding. They are particularly useful in the short-term for motivating employees to work towards one specific organizational goal. For example, offering additional money if an employee meets a sales quota is an example of extrinsic rewards used in the workplace.

Enquêtes sur le pouls des employés :

Il s'agit d'enquêtes courtes qui peuvent être envoyées fréquemment pour vérifier rapidement ce que vos employés pensent d'un sujet. L'enquête comprend moins de questions (pas plus de 10) afin d'obtenir rapidement des informations. Elles peuvent être administrées à intervalles réguliers (mensuels/hebdomadaires/trimestriels).

Rencontres individuelles :

Organiser périodiquement des réunions d'une heure pour discuter de manière informelle avec chaque membre de l'équipe est un excellent moyen de se faire une idée précise de ce qui se passe avec eux. Comme il s'agit d'une conversation sûre et privée, elle vous permet d'obtenir de meilleurs détails sur un problème.

eNPS :

L'eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) est l'un des moyens les plus simples et les plus efficaces d'évaluer l'opinion de vos employés sur votre entreprise. Il comprend une question intrigante qui permet d'évaluer la loyauté. Voici un exemple de questions posées dans le cadre de l'eNPS Quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre entreprise à d'autres personnes ? Les employés répondent à l'enquête eNPS sur une échelle de 1 à 10, où 10 signifie qu'ils sont "très susceptibles" de recommander l'entreprise et 1 signifie qu'ils sont "très peu susceptibles" de la recommander.

Sur la base des réponses, les salariés peuvent être classés dans trois catégories différentes :

  • Promoteurs
    Employés qui ont répondu positivement ou qui sont d'accord.
  • Détracteurs
    Employés qui ont réagi négativement ou qui ont exprimé leur désaccord.
  • Passives
    Les employés qui sont restés neutres dans leurs réponses.

How does extrinsic reward work? 

Extrinsic reward works on the carrot and stick appproach. It is doing what you do with the aim of achieving something that you are hoping to receive. It is an external reward system. It is not you feeling motivated and going out and doing what you need to do. It is motivation that comes from something added on to you already doing the work.

Quels sont les différents types de récompenses extrinsèques ? 

There are two main types of extrinsic rewards that help to improve employee motivation:

  • Monetary rewards: These include money, bonuses, and raises. Money is a powerful motivator and can be used to reward both individual performance and team performance.
  • Non monetary rewards: These include praise, public recognition, and awards such as trophies or plaques. Public recognition can be an effective way to reward employees for their efforts because it encourages others to follow their example and reinforces the importance of their work.
