Awards Network Programs Maximize Employee Potential in Times of Economic
Uncertainty

    LA PORTE, Ind., May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In times of economic downturn,
organizations across the United States are forced to make cutbacks and limit
pay increases.  Awards Network employee award programs combat poor employee
morale and high turnover rates by providing economical options that focus on
motivating and recognizing employees.
    "In a time when companies are looking for ways to cut costs, we advise
clients to invest in the capabilities of their current workforce," reports Bob
McDowell, Director of Sales at Awards Network.  "By maximizing the potential
of labor with a recognition or incentive program, new goals such as improved
employee retention, increased productivity and enforced safety compliance can
be achieved.  These in turn produce long-term savings that add up
significantly over the course of an employee award program."
    Turnover at many leading organizations has been reduced by maintaining
lean workforces and taking advantage of employee award programs that reward
for goals as they are achieved.
    "Lean workforces allow the number of employees retained within a company
to remain static throughout economic ups and downs," McDowell notes.
"Combined with properly communicated employee award programs, lean workforces
are more likely to remain motivated and productive in times of hardship.  In
economic prosperity, employee award programs can then be used to bend out a
company's production possibilities curve."
    Awards Network performs all of the administrative and gift fulfillment
functions of an employee award program and offers clients customized options
that match their organizational branding and fit any budget.  Account managers
work side by side with a program administrator to ensure that each client's
requirements and expectations are fulfilled.
    "No one can dispute the fact that we are experiencing an unsteady
economy," McDowell states.  "Companies across the United States are looking
for a cost-effective way to engage employees and achieve goals using fewer
resources.  Implementing an employee award program can help an organization
reach its objectives both in the short and long term, and is flexible enough
to budget during any market."
