“People try to do better than other people. It’s an incentive.” – Renato Dulbecco
If we dissect this quote closely, we can figure out three distinct performance drivers – Competition, reward, and improvement. Thus, an incentive is a magic wand that can shake up even an imperturbable soul. Hefty bonuses, award functions, and paid holidays are a thing in the corporate setting, but these events happen only once or twice a year. Can there be a way to provide a daily dose of motivation?
Actually, yes, there is a way and the easier one too! We bring you here incentive rewards and incentive bonus charts printable PDFs. These can be used right at the school stage to keep children motivated to do better. You may continue this rewarding system in workplaces too when kids enter their adulthood and take up various jobs.

What can you include in incentive charts?
Targets to achieve differ with age and study levels. For a preschooler, the ability to read and write is an achievement, and going higher up coincides with the increase in complexity of targets. Here are a few targets you can include in the incentives charts; also, corresponding to the targets achieved you can award a badge to the achiever:
1. For preschoolers: The targets can be identifying letters, sounding out letters correctly, matching letters with the object/picture with corresponding starting sound, reading and writing numbers, etc. Since the assessment is weekly, the daily class objectives can become the targets.
2. Elementary school students: Form words from letters or write sentences, do math operations, learn animal, birds names, or other similar ones.
3. Middle school students: Presenting ideas in the form of essay, timely submission of projects, performance in public speaking, mathematical concept understanding, etc.
4. For Sales Reps: Team leaders can write daily sales targets against each day of the week and generate a weekly performance report. It can help strategize how to move forward to achieve monthly targets, or who to reward as the star performer of the month.
Benefits of Incentive Charts and Incentive Badges
Incentive charts are like daily report cards and badges are the immediate rewards for good performance or gentle reminders for bucking up. These can bring various positive changes, such as:
a. Objective evaluation: The evaluator can stick to scruples of assessing the performance fairly. They can steer clear from biases and give a clear-cut evaluation of the performers.
b. Individual attention: Since the incentive chart is made for individuals, and not the team as a whole, teachers can document the fact that they give personal attention to every student. Also, when used for self-evaluation, students can drive their minds to pinpoint and work on their weaknesses, or become aware of their strengths.
c. Curiosity enhancement: Young students eagerly look forward to the weekly report of incentives and work hard every day. They stay curious about learning new things, acquiring new skills, and performing better. Thus, they find a good reason and positive motivation to come to class daily.
d. Healthy competition: As a mark of achievement, the students are given badges which you can print and cut and award from our incentive badge chart. With the zeal to collect lots and lots of those, and sometimes, more than mates, the students are driven into a healthy competition.
Summing up,
It is always nice to incentivize students and employees when they perform well. The recognition of their hard work and consistent performance is the most positive driver of skill-development. Hence, employ these incentives charts and incentive badges in your daily assessment activity and make every day a memorable milestone for aspiring learners and performers.
