At eMoney, we believe great work deserves to be celebrated. Our pay-for-performance philosophy is reinforced by a culture of recognition – one that values not only big wins but also the everyday efforts that drive our success.
Two key ways we recognize and reward our team members include: eMpower and eMoney Excellence Awards. More information for each is below!
Through eMpower, our rewards and recognition platform, employees can celebrate one another’s achievements, milestones, and contributions in real time, and earn points that can be redeemed for meaningful rewards.
Use your monthly budget to recognize colleagues across teams who demonstrate eMoney’s core values, go above and beyond, or contribute meaningfully to our collaborative culture. This is a great way to highlight efforts big and small that make a difference.
Make the most of your monthly points and celebrate the people who help drive our shared success!
PowerPlays are a great way to highlight the efforts – big or small – that make a difference! To send a PowerPlay in eMpower, follow the steps below.
Visibility of PowerPlay Messages
Your message will appear in the Message Center, but the point value will remain private – only the recipient and their manager can see the number of points awarded.
Good Example
Why: Above and beyond
What: Thank you for all the long hours (and weekends!) you put in on the Premium Client Portal. We couldn’t have done it without you.”
Recognition to Avoid
Messages like:
These don’t provide meaningful feedback. Keep it work-related, thoughtful, and value-driven to make your recognition truly impactful.
