Employee recognition

Employee recognition is a fundamental part of a great work place culture.

How do your people feel when at work?

Are they feeling valued?

Are they feeling listened to?

Are they feeling worthwhile?

All of these feelings can be built up with a simple thank you, well done, or great effort.

Employee recognition required managers and leaders to be tuned into their people, to know what is going on so they can be best placed to help.

This means the managers and leaders have to be well trained and supported by their line managers, great company culture has to be lived at every level.

It doesn't need fanfare and awards ceremonies, although these things are nice to do, they are, by their very nature, infrequent.

People do best with little and often recognition, because it is the repetition that is appreciated because that reflects the day to day effort people put in.

It also emphasises how important a smile is when you see your people, a smile and a good morning can set the tome for the whole day, along with open and honest communication.
