Hitting revenue and growth goals have always been top priorities for organizations of all types and sizes, and while this has always been challenging, doing so post COVID brings an entirely new set of challenges to the table, as many companies are busy retooling for growth opportunities in a post-COVID world that’s trying to recover. That said, there are many components to a smart and innovative growth strategy, and how you treat and reward your employees while simultaneously creating a positive company culture is a critical part of setting the foundation for a thriving organization that can dominate your industry.
In an article by Peg Buchenroth published by Sage Journals titled ‘Driving Performance: Making Pay Work for the Organization’, the author stresses that, “a company’s total compensation posture should reflect its business objectives and reward employees for their accomplishments”. The key here is “reward”, which is a subjective concept. That said, in order to get the most out of employee performance and loyalty, your workforce needs to feel like they are being fully supported, appreciated, and that they are part of a culture that supports their own ideals, and when recognized and rewarded, the value behind the token of appreciation is everything to the employee.
What is a Visa Rewards Card?
The term “Visa rewards card” gets tossed around rather frequently and can often be confused with other things. For example, some Visa cards have certain terms directed at specific customers that “rewards them” for their payment and spending activity in the form of air travel miles, or cash back. Then there is something totally different: a Visa rewards card that is a prepaid Visa card that can be awarded to an employee, registered to them, and that enables the person to spend the funds on the card anywhere Visa is accepted. These are also called “Visa gift cards”, but to be very clear PrePaid USA stresses that the correct names for these are simply “Visa rewards cards”, “Visa awards cards”, or “Visa incentive cards”.
Prepaid USA can create Visa co branded cards, and load them with funds ranging from $5 to a few thousand dollars, and you can order five cards, or a few thousand cards.
A Visa Rewards Card and a Movie Theatre Gift Card Walk Into a Bar…
Nobody of sound mind is going to “look a gift horse in the mouth”, but let’s face it: employees are going to find more value in a Visa rewards card than in a movie theatre or restaurant gift card because they aren’t limited to spending the finds in one place. Furthermore, more people than ever before prefer streaming movies at home, and many find restaurant chains to be dull and with so many dietary restrictions out there, a waste of time and money. However, a prepaid Visa awards card gives your employees the freedom to use the funds to pay some stressful bills, or treat themselves to a meal at THEIR favorite restaurant, or they can go to the mall (or go to Amazon) and buy anything they want. They can even use it for gas, or to take the family out for a fun day. A Visa rewards card gives your employee the ability to create their own memories fueled by the funds you are graciously giving them as part of your company wide recognition of them for their contributions to the organization’s growth.
Choosing the Right Visa Incentive Card

When is the Best Time to Give Employees a Visa Rewards Card?
Traditionally, managers recognize their employees with a Visa rewards card for achieving a milestone or for hitting a goal, but in actuality there is no wrong time to hand these out. Whether a sales person just hot their 5000th sale and you decide to hand them a Visa rewards card as a “well done gesture”, or even if an employee is having a bad day and you are looking for a way to lift their spirits and show them that you and the organization cares, Visa rewards cards can be given under a number of circumstances, including these:
