"The demographic profile of the current workforce demands maximum freedom of choice, minimum hassles, social recognition and instant gratification, in the reward practices at the workplace. The HiFives program empowers line managers to reward employees on the fly, enables employees to decide on reward items based on their personal preferences; which are then delivered to recipients anywhere across the globe thereby ensuring complete freedom of choice and convenience. HiFives also enables internal social recognition thereby multiplying the impact of such rewards programs," says Sagar Chaudhuri, CEO & Co-Founder, HiFives.

Today, when organizations are challenged to drive employee engagement and performance as well as retain top talent while keeping a tab on the budgets, they are increasingly looking at unleashing the power of rewards and recognition programs. The HiFives cloud based platform meets this need by maximizing employee experience and minimizing the hassles for the employer.

Rewards and recognition is an integral part of the talent management strategy of any organization. Rewards programs have been difficult to manage in-house due to the lack of scale and access to industry best practices as well as the day-to-day operational hassles of running such programs. These challenges have restricted the impact of such programs as reflected by the levels of employee satisfaction. Studies show that:

· 75pc of employees say that they don't get enough options in their current programs

· 53pc do not find the programs convenient

· Overall, 35 pc are not satisfied with the programs
