Employee Recognition and Non Monetary Reward Programmes

When budgets are tight, recognition is the reward tool HR can always afford. This programme shows how to design recognition and non monetary reward programmes that lift engagement, reinforce desired behaviour and complement pay. It draws on African workplace examples where meaningful, culturally aware recognition often outperforms small cash increases in building loyalty.
