Award budgets based on an average price within an award category are almost always exceeded, because employees select awards with higher-than-average values. Our competitors toss in high value items in each category to make a bigger profit at the expense of your budget! But OnDemand utilizes “Plateau Pricing,” meaning a consistent price throughout the range of award options. So you’ll always stay on budget no matter what items your employees choose.

Skyrocketing gold prices are great for investors and award recognition companies that sell YOU lots of gold jewelry and pins. Not great for your employee retention and recognition budget as it also goes sky high. OnDemand diversifies your merchandise portfolio, minimizing your exposure to unpredictable price swings in any specific area such as gems or precious metals.

If you aren’t using C.A. Short, probably not. We pioneered the use of the 5 Elements of Individual Recognition Success because we are truly committed to bringing value to the awarded employee’s experience, creating a win-win-win result for the HR manager, the employee and the company.

Employees, when asked, prefer more choice. We know because we’ve done our research. Our studies have shown that more award choice makes a difference in the success of your employee recognition program. OnDemand offers your employees more brand names, more items in each category and more diversity within each service award catalog.

Sadly, there is a trend which is diluting recognition effectiveness. Employers are buying into plans that are designed around sending emails that offer an uneventful, virtual thank you. This “cold congratulations,” combined with offering too many company-branded knick-knacks, has little – if any – personal value to employees. Our program, however, is a system that ensures a meaningful recognition experience. From a smart presentation packet, perfect for public gatherings, to merchandise diverse enough to appeal to an employee’s entire family, OnDemand brings back the human touch.

Instead of accomodating some sales guy’s schedule, OnDemand is always waiting for you online. You are now empowered to design, manage and implement per your schedule and needs. Yet should you need it, toll-free customer service, as well, is always at your disposal.
