Huge Choice of Rewards
Staff can use their Reward Points in the online Reward Store to order gift cards, e-codes, and products from 1,000s of top retail, ecommerce, travel, hospitality, leisure, lifestyle, experiential and technology brands.
Amplify has partnered with the best suppliers and brands globally, and has developed a sophisticated online supplier system to manage reward orders. The Amplify Reward Store encompasses over 2,000 individual rewards in 60 countries.
Tax-Free RewardsÂ
For clients in Ireland, the system works with the Small Benefit Scheme, where employees can earn up to €1,500 in tax-free rewards per year.
For Small Benefit, instead of spending points in the Reward Store, points get converted at set times of the year into a tax-free AllGo Mastercard Gift Card – the universal gift card that can be spent anywhere that accepts Mastercard – instore, online or even abroad.

Empower Engagement with Social Recognition and Rewards
The Amplify Employee Recognition Hub also allows you to create a social recognition platform in the workplace. With this feature, you can enable features such as views, likes, and comments – to make your employee recognition programme more vibrant, transparent, and highly engaging.
Our social recognition platform fosters an interactive, supportive work environment, enhancing team cohesion, staff morale and creating a strong sense of community. From viewing to expressing appreciation through likes and comments, every level of interaction contributes to a culture of acknowledgement and positivity.
Interactive Shout-outs
Openly celebrate achievements and milestones with recognition Shout-outs that everyone can see. Enable likes and comments on these accolades to foster an even stronger culture of continuous recognition and support.
Enhanced Engagement Levels
Social interaction not only elevates the recognition an individual receives, but it also positively enhances the entire workplace culture by publicly highlighting the great work being done across the company.

What is a Referral Scheme?
A referral scheme is a strategic programme that encourages current employees to recommend qualified candidates for various roles within the company. This can include anything from sales positions to critical functions that require specific expertise. By involving employees in the recruitment process, you can harness the insight and networks of your existing team, ensuring a cultural and professional fit.
Benefits of Employee Referral Schemes
There are many benefits to integrating this initiative within the employee recognition hub, some of which include;
- Enhanced Quality of Hire: Referrals often lead to candidates who better understand the company culture and requirements.
- Faster Recruitment Process: Reduce the hiring timeline as referrals bypass much of the initial screening process.
- Increased Employee Engagement: Engaging employees in recruitment fosters a sense of belonging and contribution.
- Cost-Effective: Lower hiring costs compared to traditional recruitment methods.
By encouraging employees to refer candidates, companies naturally broaden their recruitment outreach, tapping into a diverse and previously inaccessible pool of talent through their employees’ networks.
Key Benefits Backed by Data:
- Increased Loyalty: A referred customer is 18% more loyal than a customer acquired through other means, enhancing long-term relationships with your brand.
- Viral Growth Potential: Referred customers are four times more likely to refer additional customers to your brand, creating a compounding effect in your marketing efforts.
- Higher Retention Rates: Customers referred by others demonstrate a 37% higher retention rate, which is pivotal for sustainable business growth.
- Greater Spend: Customers acquired through referrals spend 200% more than the average customer, significantly boosting your revenue from these connections.
By implementing these referral schemes, not only do you streamline your recruitment efforts, but you also build a stronger, more engaged, and financially impactful customer base.

Referral Scheme Incentives
So, what referral scheme incentives can we offer through the Amplify Recognition Hub? Here’s a brief overview of how we aim to enhance this initiative within your organisation:
Points System
Our referral programme is designed to make recognising contributions as exciting and rewarding as possible. Employees earn points for each successful referral, which can be accumulated and redeemed for a variety of enticing rewards. Our incentives encompass a diverse array of rewards, including online vouchers, product purchases, and leisure activities. Additionally, for our team members in Ireland, points can be converted into an AllGo Mastercard through the Small Benefit Scheme, ensuring there are attractive options for everyone to strive for.
Customisable Objectives
The beauty of our referral incentive programme lies in its flexibility. Departments or teams can set specific objectives tailored to their unique needs and goals. This customisation allows each team to align the referral incentives with what motivates their members most, enhancing participation and effectiveness.
Integrate your Employee Referral Scheme
Integrating your employee referral scheme is not merely about enhancing the hiring process; it’s about embedding it into the fabric of your organisation to build a cohesive and robust workforce.
By involving everyone in the referral process, you empower your employees to contribute actively to the company’s growth, strengthening the community and maximising the collective company potential.
The Employee Recognition Hub serves as the most streamlined tool for consolidating employee incentives like referral schemes. This centralised platform enables efficient employee rewards and recognition, highlighting those who refer new talent to your company which also encourages others to do the same.
