As we progress out of the recession, organisations are looking at ways to engage and reward people but purse strings are still tight. E-reward.co.uk's research has shown that many of them are seeing it as an opportunity to rethink their original approach and a chance to look at new ways to reward and engage. Whilst salary, bonus and employee benefits can account for as much as three-quarters of total salary spend, employee recognition can cost almost nothing. But not only that, using recognition and non-cash reward can make much more impact than cash in engaging people and building their commitment to the organisation; something that cash alone simply cannot do.

This E-reward Showcase event on employee recognition will feature a full day's informative and interesting seminar programme aimed at equipping reward professionals with all the information they need to make maximum impact through recognition.

Your invite

There are 75 complimentary places at this event reserved for senior reward and HR practitioners. So if you are a Head of Reward, or a Reward/HR Manager, or an HR Director, for a private sector employer with more than 250 employees, apply now for one of these 75 complimentary places. Please note: Our allocation of public sector places is now over-subscribed.

To apply for a free ticket, please email: paul@e-reward.co.uk

The seminar

E-reward has teamed up with the UK's leading expert on non-cash reward, Michael Rose of Rewards Consulting Limited to develop a focussed one-day seminar that will tell reward practitioners all they need to know about recognition:

  • Some of the important theories and case studies demonstrating why recognition and non-cash reward can have more impact than cash
  • Practical examples of what works and what doesn't
  • How to maximise the impact of recognition
  • How to use non-cash reward effectively
  • How to design and develop relevant impactful recognition and non-cash programmes
  • Where to get started

Michael will facilitate the day, provide a series of insightful workshops and introduce reward practitioners to the sponsor and exhibitor sessions which will be dispersed throughout the day. It will be an unmissable event for all reward practitioners considering updating their approach to recognition.

Vendor showcase

This one-day seminar and accompanying exhibition has been carefully designed by E-reward to offer reward professionals help in choosing the best employee recognition advice, solutions and programmes available for your organisation.

  • Showcases some of the best recognition systems in the market.
  • Review, in one day, some of the leading solutions currently available, and the key aspects of each, including cost indications.
  • Features interactive and case-study sessions hosted by suppliers.
