When was the last time your employer recognized you for a job well-done?
When was the last time your supervisor said “Thank you”?
How did it make you feel when you received the recognition?
How do you feel when you don’t?
Creating a culture of appreciation at your organization can have an enormous impact on talent management, engagement and retention.
Recognition is why your employees won’t have anxiety on Sunday afternoon at the thought of starting a new workweek, and why they will show up on Monday with a smile, and an understanding of the importance of their contributions. It's why they’ll stay at your organization.
Darcey Peterson, HR manager for Martin Foot and Ankle in York, Pa., posted a very basic question to the Society for Human Resource Management’s LinkedIn group page. She wasn’t looking for advice on setting a global talent management strategy, or for information on how to analyze HR “big data.” She simply wanted to know how other organizations celebrated employee birthdays because she understands one of the most basic needs of human nature and of employees—they want to feel appreciated. They want to know that someone cares.
How do you reward, recognize and celebrate the employees in your organization? How do you show employees that you care?
