Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard – The Barrelmen Rewards
Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard is the leading producer of the world’s most well-known and successful Irish whiskeys. Led by Jameson, the world’s fastest-growing Irish whiskey, its brands are exported to 130+ markets.
With 600+ employees across numerous functions and 6 locations in Ireland, Irish Distillers is both a diverse and geographically dispersed organisation.
One of the greatest strengths of the company is their passionate and committed employees and their unique culture driven by the company’s three core values – Real, Remarkable and Responsible. Given the rapid expansion in the business, and the diverse nature of staff (across manufacturing, office, and tourism/hospitality), Irish Distillers Pernod Ricard wanted to ensure that employees across the entire organisation would continue to bring the company values to life every day.
What Is Included in a Best Practice Launch Plan?
We employ proven launch strategies and communication plans in order to ensure that your employee recognition hub garners immediate interest and engagement.
For the best results, go for a big-impact launch! With previous companies, we’ve held a series of half-day workshops with all people managers to cement their understanding of the role they play in the programme and how to create meaningful recognition moments for their team. Specific Branding is also used to advertise internally and offer online meetings with people managers to ensure that they can use the software with ease.
Here’s a brief overview of how we help your hub achieve a successful and impactful launch:
We provide guidance on promoting various methods for employees to earn points, whether that’s through company shout-outs, peer recognition, KPIs, tenure, or any other goals you have set.
By clearly communicating these opportunities, employees will understand how they can earn rewards and the specific actions required. Sharing this information before launch helps build excitement and enthusiasm, ensuring a successful engagement from the start.
Encouraging employees, managers, and team leaders to give points creates a culture of appreciation and recognition. By promoting your company values to encourage employees to award points, you create opportunities for tangible acknowledgement of good work and collaboration. This not only boosts morale but also builds enthusiasm as everyone sees the value in recognising and celebrating each other’s contributions.
The key driver of employee engagement is the tangible value of the points employees earn. These points are not just virtual tokens; they can be redeemed for real-world rewards such as online purchases, gift cards, restaurant vouchers, and more in your company’s Reward Store – or they can be converted to a tax-free Allgo Mastercard!
Highlighting these incentives underscores the importance of doing good work and aligns employee efforts with company goals, motivating them to actively participate in the recognition programme.
Our best practice launch plan includes comprehensive management tutorials on how employees can navigate and interact with the platform. These tutorials ensure that employees are familiar with the system before it goes live, allowing them to start using it effectively, and teach others how to use it, boosting employee engagement from day one.
Why Is a Launch Plan Necessary?
A well-structured launch plan is critical for several reasons:
- Maximise Initial Engagement: A carefully crafted launch plan creates anticipation and excitement, ensuring a high level of participation from the moment the recognition hub goes live. By generating buzz and interest, we maximise the initial engagement, setting the stage for sustained use.
- Ensure Smooth Adoption: Introducing a new platform can be challenging. A detailed launch plan helps to ease this transition by providing employees with clear instructions and resources, making it easier for them to understand and adopt the new system. This reduces potential frustration and resistance, leading to a smoother, more successful rollout.
- Establish a Recognition Culture: The launch plan is designed to embed recognition into the daily operations of your company. By actively promoting ways to earn and give points, and by highlighting the tangible rewards, we foster a culture where recognition and appreciation are integral parts of the workplace. This cultural shift can lead to improved morale, increased productivity, and better overall job satisfaction.
