Recognition Employees Actually Value.
Recognition works when it is specific, timely and backed by something real. Here is how to build that habit across managers.
Recognition often stops at words
Praise in a channel is good. Praise that arrives with something the employee values is remembered.
- Managers have no budget of their own to recognise work.
- Recognition is inconsistent between teams.
- There is no record of who was recognised and why.
- Programs launch well and fade after a quarter.
