Reward and Recognition Systems

The second primary tool and technique of the team development process is reward and recognition systems. This technique describes what you will use to incentivize the team to outstanding performance. You will need to design your rewards and recognition systems at the beginning of the project. Communicate the plan to the team members so they understand “what is in it for them” to complete the project successfully. The key to a rewards and recognition system is doing what you promised. If you have promised a day off for extra work, be sure to let the person have the day off. The first time you do not reward as you said, the system will be destroyed because trust in the system will now be lacking. You would then need to redesign and reapply a new system.
