Article summary In a company or workplace, it is essential that the organization, composed of employers, managers and their employees, work towards reward programs within human resources in order to create a healthy and friendly working environment and, above all, to effectively achieve company objectives. In Carol Patton's (2013) article, Rewarding Best Behaviors, she explains the importance of several companies that are starting to recognize their employees, not only for final results, but for reflecting good behaviors towards company values, such as demonstrating creativity on certain projects, problem solving with respect to certain issues and also collaboration with co-workers. Patton points out that these reward programs could help fulfill the overall essence of a company as long as the behaviors rewarded are related to the company's strategy. Patton states that some things HR needs to understand include “how its company creates success, what drives its business strategy, and what behaviors are needed from employees to achieve that success” (Patton, 2013 para. 15). Additionally, the employee would be seen as a role model for others and perhaps influence them to demonstrate comparable behaviors.
