The trophies can be customized with your logo or branding elements, but they do not need to be expensive or sophisticated unless you want them to be. The critical thing is that they're memorable and fun!

eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) is one of the simplest yet effective ways to assess your employee's opinion of your company. It includes one intriguing question that gauges loyalty. An example of eNPS questions include: How likely are you to recommend our company to others? Employees respond to the eNPS survey on a scale of 1-10, where 10 denotes they are ‘highly likely’ to recommend the company and 1 signifies they are ‘highly unlikely’ to recommend it.
Only employees who work directly for your company should be eligible for an employee spot award. This means contractors and third parties who work for you aren't eligible for these awards.
