Rewards and recognition are important human resource management practices used to motivate employees, acknowledge contributions and encourage desired workplace behaviour. In IT sectors, where organisations depend on employee knowledge, collaboration, service quality and timely delivery, a well-designed reward and recognition system may influence motivation, job satisfaction, productivity and employee retention. Rewards may include monetary incentives, salary increments, promotions and benefits, while recognition may include manager appreciation, awards and acknowledgement of achievements. This study examines the perceived impact of rewards and recognition on employee performance in IT sectors, with special reference to Coimbatore South. It considers employee awareness of reward policies, fairness, preferred reward types, motivation, perceived productivity, job satisfaction and intention to stay. A descriptive research design and structured questionnaire are proposed. The tables contain an illustrative dataset of 50 responses to demonstrate the analysis format. These figures are simulated and must be replaced with actual questionnaire results before the study is presented as empirical research.
