Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a large IT services company with more that 2.5 lac employees. Our employees deliver best in class services to our clients. At times there are some very complex projects which has a greater impact on the operations conducted by our clients. Sometime it's the team or an induvial who performs beyond his capacity to deliver the project to the client. We usually reward such teams or employees with Vantage Circle points. In some cases there are employees who complete 5, 10, or 15 years in an organization. To honor them, we usually allocate Vantage points to them.

Pros

Cons

Currently, there are many options to spend the points earned, maybe here is a scope in doing something more in this area
Maybe, a mobile app would help in looking at points earned and spent
Some kind of notification on the expiry of purchased gift cards may help

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Vantage Circle is a form of Reward, Benefits, and Gift Management Platform for our Wipro Employees. In fact, the most sought-after app by us, when it comes to employee recognition, rewards, shopping, etc :) In my case, I received and claimed 1800 Winner Circle Points so far and bought some of my favorite books and stuff through Amazon with those rewards. Vantage Points are not mere numbers, but the symbol of care, respect, and appreciation that we receive from our Employers, managers, coworkers, etc. I am an avid online shopper and regularly use websites like Firstcry, Amazon, Flipkart, etc for my purchases. Through Vantage, I have started developing some new habits of stacking books from these reward points and I believe it's an investment, unlike the regular shopping that we make. Along with rewarding employees, Vantage Circle can be leveraged across corporates for promoting health consciousness, mindfulness, and self-development through more meaningful tie-ups with Organizations like ToastMasters International, Corporate Diva, etc.

Pros

Tie-Ups with leading online shopping platforms to give rewards and gift cards
Reward Redeeming Mechanism, User friendliness, and Ease of use
Cashback points in tie-up with the online platforms

Cons

The reward gift card amounts are hardcoded- like 250, 150, etc. There should be an option to self-enter values.
More tie-ups with Corporates like Toastmasters International, Corporate Diva, etc for personality development and leadership initiatives.
Healthify, Cult, Art of Living, etc. can have tie-ups with Vantage Circle for promoting Employee Wellness as well as good habits. Vantage Circle can serve as a channel for promoting these sites as they are much needed by employees these days.
I think we need more tie-ups with schools & pre-schools.
Tie-ups with Petrol stations and Investment platforms will also benefit employees.

Most Important Features

Redeem Gift Cards
Vantage Points
Affiliations (Of course the tie-up companies)

Return on Investment

Employee Satisfaction is on the rise due to Vantage Circle Rewards.
100% redemption in most cases.
The usefulness of the rewards is also guaranteed as people claim them for online purchases.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Vantage Circle to recognize and motivate and employees/colleagues/team members on their achievements, commendable work, and the support they provide to the success of the team/organization. Lack of appreciation demotivates the employees, even a small gesture of appreciation, like Vantage Circle rewards, would inspire the employees to aim for success. With Vantage Circle, employees are recognized and monetary rewards take it to the next level as it is posted across the organization.

Pros

Recognize the commendable job
Give monetary rewards
Motivates employees

Cons

Show support to the people (Managers) who are giving regularly using Vantage Circle to reward and recognize team members' efforts
Reward the usage of Vantage Circle by giving them points/offers

Most Important Features

Offers
Vouchers
e-Gift cards

Return on Investment

Motivated employees
Inspired team members
Urge to prove oneself again
