Employee Recognition

Great companies know that the employees are the heart of the business. Satisfied and engaged employees would bring in not only positive energy to the workplace but also increase the company’s profit and sales.

Unconcerned employees could be a hindrance to the workplace as they can drain out the positive energy out of the rest of their colleagues. In other words, engaged employees are an enhancement to any company. Employees who feel they have a positive personal rapport with their management are more likely to be engaged. Not only that, employees would feel appreciated when they or their work gets noticed and this encourages constructive employee engagement.

• Employees will appreciate the recognition that they receive and realise that their daily performances are being noticed. When management delivers the ‘Employee of the Month’ award, they have to be specific as to why such employee deserved it and could be either written out or publicly explained during a monthly team meeting.
• Besides awarding ‘Employee of the Month’, management could also reward t the team that has accomplished or worked well together. Rewards could be as simple as lunch with the management, shopping voucher or even movie tickets for them to enjoy together after work and bond on a personal level out of the workplace.
• Management could start an appreciation program for the employee that shows positive qualities at the workplace. Points could be awarded to the employee for a simple task like assisting their colleagues to their punctuality or any other qualities.
• Expressing interest in the employees’ professional development it does not necessarily mean paying for their education or courses. It just means that management is interested in knowing what their employee’s personal goals and supporting them in trying to achieve them.
