We’re not recognizing our team members the right way
Companies should create a culture of appreciation through their recognition strategies and programs that don’t focus on fancy trophies, expensive gifts, or money, but on a feeling.
Appreciation is an ongoing effort
The goal is to move the strategy to where every employee feels appreciated, not just a few. Organizations must make recognition occur for all of the small things that matter and make a difference, not just the big ones. With continuous recognition, people feel valued and appreciated. Above all, the efforts must be genuine, meaningful and inclusive.
