Foster a culture where

appreciation is the norm

Employee recognition has a direct impact on your business and success. This is because employees who feel recognized for their efforts tend to be more proactive and motivated, going above and beyond to deliver on their job.

The best way to understand how your employees feel is to simply ask. Use anonymous surveys so you can capture candid feedback from your employees. This will help you capture the overall sentiment within your organization, helping you identify just which teams need more recognition.

Begin by understanding if you need to amp up the efforts for your employee recognition program. Next, you can ask your employees about their preferences about how they would like to be recognized for their efforts. While some might want to be spotlighted in a meeting, others might prefer 1:1 recognition.

Employee recognition and appreciation can come in many forms. You can send across an email to your team, acknowledging the work done by certain employees (or even the team together), recognize employees’ contributions during a team meeting, or acknowledge this during a 1:1 check in. To double-down on this, you can offer employees incentives in the form of gift vouchers or even some time off.
