Reward Ideas (Individual, Team, Monetary, Non-monetary)

Monetary rewards like gift cards are easy, but financial rewards can change the giving behavior towards a transactional behavior and less genuine appreciation. If peer recognition is transactional, it's not authentic. And if it's not authentic, it's not effective. Experience-based rewards (like a team taco party), specifically for team rewards, work much better as they encourage people to collaborate and connect to redeem rewards together.
