We understand that you are receiving this error of ‘Either “name” or “item.name” should be specified’ and we want to help try our best to resolve this concern.
Just to clarify, for this reported GitHub issue, we mentioned a pull request in the comments regarding a fix specifically wherein the ‘name’ field was stripped for the last item in the breadcrumb schema output for subsequent pages of a static posts page. This was released in v16.6 of the Yoast SEO plugin as per the changelog here.
For this page https://www.hifives.in/employee-rewards-recognition-updates/, could you confirm if you’ve already set an appropriate breadcrumb title for this page? – https://yoast.com/help/the-breadcrumbs-title-setting/
After you’ve set the title, please then do try to reset the indexables.
1. Install & activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’ button. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: this won’t actually erase your SEO data, which is also stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset our index (custom tables) for that data.
4. Go to SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database. This is especially important before installing, updating or removing plugins. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

If this doesn’t resolve the issue, we would recommend performing a conflict check to ensure that this isn’t being caused by another plugin or theme on your particular setup.
Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict, is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty.
Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.
If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts
