The naming is done ceremoniously, the employee family is invited, a cake is ordered; and all the employees assemble for the felicitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Federal Express<\/span><\/strong>, rated one of the best work workplaces, employee can get one of <strong>FedEx 500 aero-planes named after his \/ her child<\/strong>.

All nominations are reviewed for a Merit Award and all <strong>Merit Awards are reviewed for the Chairman Award.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Eureka Award<\/strong> at <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HCL<\/span> Comnet<\/strong> is for the entrepreneurs who come up with the best business idea. <strong>The Value Creator Award<\/strong> is the most coveted and sought after among the awards given in appreciation of extraordinary individual initiative and innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gotcha<\/span><\/strong> recognizes top performers and ranks them on merit. <strong>Special vacation packages<\/strong> are given to employees who excel in their targets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Eicher<\/span><\/strong> uses a <strong>mix of monetary and non-monetary rewards<\/strong>. The financial package helps in sustenance and basic needs fulfillment. The non-financial part helps in recognition and fulfillment of higher order needs. In <strong>the non-financial part, Eicher offers perks like study leave, trips, special training, challenging project opportunities, and flexible timings based on individual need.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In India many companies like <strong>Larsen &amp; Toubro, HLL, P&amp;G, Century Enka<\/strong> and others encourage suggestion from employees on cost savings, energy conservation or quality improvement or increase in sales. The suggestions are periodically reviewed and few employees may get <strong>one time cash rewards based on he quantum of savings their suggestions can generate. This cash rewards system on suggestions is mostly up to junior management level. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some companies <strong>allow executives to make their own mix of salary packages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the year 2000, <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HICOM<\/span><\/strong> introduced three awards for employees who were nominated as <strong>\u02dcbest leader, \u02dcbest motivator, and best employee<\/strong>. In the same year, the company also introduced the new idea of appreciating subordinates through <strong>flower-shaped cards<\/strong>. In addition, the HR department put a <strong>big wallboard titled \u02dcinitiatives.com<\/strong>, which was filled with information on the initiatives taken by the employees in the workplace and the appreciation of their initiatives. The management as a policy honors an employee who completes five years of services in HICOM with a <strong>gold plated appreciation plaque.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Taj group<\/span><\/strong> has patented a unique employee identification tracking and reward programme <strong>branded the Star \u2013 Special Thanks and Recognition System<\/strong>. It\u2019s an HR initiative aimed at creating an association \u2018between our star performers and the Taj. These stars are not the statesmen or tinsel town glitterati who grace the environs of the Group\u2019s hotels, but to the organization they are just as important.<\/li>\n<li>The Star campaign offers no cash awards. Recognition comes in the form of levels<strong>. Points can be picked up<\/strong> by employees for integrity, respect and regard for others, teamwork, environmental awareness, reliability, outstanding work, courage of conviction and initiative. Practical and useful suggestions that are beneficial to the company can also earn an employee points. Many employees do that extra bit, go out of the way to dazzle the customer satisfaction with employee recognition. It is based on the premise that happy employees lead to happy customers.&#8221; However, while employees can earn merit points for acts of excellence or valuable suggestions, one can also earn 20 &#8220;default merit&#8221; points if the review committee (comprising the GM, training manager and all heads) fails to revert within 48 hours on a suggestion made.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star has five recognition levels. Level 1 or the Silver grade <\/strong>requires an employee to earn 120 points in three months, <strong>level 2 or the Gold grade<\/strong> can be reached with 130 points within three months of reaching the Silver level. <strong>Level three or the Platinum grade<\/strong> requires an employee to accumulate 250 points within six months of reaching the Gold level. <strong>The highest grade <\/strong>at the corporate level is the <strong>MD\u2019s Club<\/strong> (at 760 points), below which at 510 points and above, an employee can be part of the <strong>Chief Operating Officer\u2019s club<\/strong>. &#8220;After the campaign was launched, a large number of employees have started working together in the true spirit of teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the various company recognitions policies of Indian companies. &nbsp; EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAMS IN PRACTICE &nbsp; Wipro has a unique package called Encore, which is essentially a basket of non-monetary rewards given to motivate employees and recognize excellent work performance.
