What is Rewards and Recognition (R&R)?

A structured HR strategy that combines tangible rewards (bonuses, gifts, perks) with public or private recognition (praise, awards, acknowledgment) to motivate employees, reinforce desired behaviors, and improve retention.

Why it matters in hiring

Rewards and Recognition (R&R) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
