Neither internally or extrinsically motivated employees are particularly motivated by e-thanks alone. Workhuman® research shows employees who choose a tangible gift or experience enjoy 3x more perceived value from a reward than an equivalent cash-value experience.
People are more likely to use cash for monthly expenses, which are forgotten, rather than choosing a more memorable award for themselves or a family member – whether that’s physical merchandise, a gift card to their favorite retailer, or an unforgettable experience.
In fact, Workhuman research actually shows that relying on e-thanks might do more harm than good. Learn more about the business impact in our latest report.
