Employee recognition within work place culture

We have been working with VF Corporation at their Coalville site as they celebrate 5 years of successful operations.

Last year they commissioned me to photograph their entire team, some 450 people as they have all been instrumental in the success of the site to celebrate employee recognition within work place culture.

I was initially met with some scpeticism but once I explained it was all about them, people soon warmed up and welcomed the opportunity to be photographed.

They were happy to be photographed and delighted that they were being recognised for their ongoing contributions.

It is not about feeling validated, but knowing your work is appreciated and you are valued, that is the best feeling in the world.

If you can show how your people enjoy being photographed, your work place becomes a very attractive place to be, because your people are clearly happy at work.

No one likes posing for the camera, which is why our style is much more authentic, capturing moments as they happen, completely natural because that is more believeable.

It also captures natural energy, posed and staged head shots rare;y capture real energy or connection, whereas real time photography does capture genuine connection and real energy which makes the images far more interesting.

real time photos also tell your story much better, because they are real moments intime, real interactions, real laughter, real emotion.

Very few people are great actors, everyone can be real and authentic.

Work place culture and employee recognition photography should be part of your reward strategy, on a regular basis.
