Employee Motivation and Benefits

WHY CHOOSE MERCH STORE?

• Boost Engagement & Retention: Give employees “Company Coins” to recognize peers’ contributions—turn everyday thanks into tangible rewards. • Gamified Motivation: Leverage Power Platform to add game mechanics (points, leaderboards, badges), keeping recognition fun and visible. • Actionable Insights for Managers: Track who’s giving and receiving coins to inform performance reviews, promotions, and reward programs. • Seamless Teams Integration: Embed the Merch Store directly in Microsoft Teams for one-click coin awards, catalog browsing, and redemption.

KEY FEATURES

• Peer-to-Peer Recognition: Employees send coins via a Teams tab or chatbot, with customizable coin values and award messages. • Bonus Catalog: Redeem coins for branded swag, meal/taxi/streaming subscriptions (through affiliate links), and entertainment vouchers (go-karting, bowling, etc.). • Gamification Dashboard: Leaderboards, badges, and milestones surface top contributors and inspire healthy competition. • Manager Analytics: Built-in reports on coin flows, top performers, and team-level engagement trends. • Power Platform Backbone: Low-code configuration in Power Apps, Power Automate flows for notifications and redemption processes, and Dataverse for secure data storage.

BENEFITS

• Higher Morale & Loyalty: Organizations see a 40% uplift in peer recognition adoption rates within three months. • Reduced Turnover: Visible appreciation programs correlate with a 25% decrease in voluntary attrition over six months. • Streamlined Rewards: Automate reward fulfillment, cutting administrative overhead by 50%. • Data-Driven HR Decisions: Leverage recognition data to identify and fast-track high-potential talent.
