Whether you have one employee or a hundred creating systems that showcase your appreciation for your employee’s efforts will help increase productivity and boost morale. In every company having employees feel like their work is recognized is key, which is why you might want to try the following five ways of increasing Employee Recognition.
- Work on your Office Culture
Your office’s culture needs to be built around positivity and lifting others. Whether that is done through a reward or privileges system, the effect will be clear. By showing your employees that one person’s successes benefit the whole team, successes on a whole will be celebrated by everyone throughout the office.
- Communication
There is nothing simpler than giving praise face to face to your employees. By openly communicating about their achievements, you are creating a direct connection with your team. Celebrating achievements will also mean that constructive criticism and feedback will be more well-received by your team members.
- Create a Rewards System
Creating a quality reward system will help you foster an environment of success. The reward system should focus on thoughtful gifts, such as a better office, gift cards, work-from-home options, or gym memberships. In general, focus on things that will benefit the person in their everyday life and help them foster a better work-life balance.
- Use 360 Degree Feedback
The concept of 360-degree feedback is relatively simple. It is an open-door policy in which anyone interacting with another employee or their work can provide thoughtful and constructive feedback that will help them improve their work. Similarly, they can also provide praise. This open communication will help all team members bond.
- Better Software and Cloud-based Recognition systems
Often tasks and achievements go unrecognized because there are no direct systems in place that showcase them. With cloud-based solutions, you can create a direct route for achievements and accomplishments to be shared. What’s more everyone in the company will have access to the successes and thus, will be able to celebrate others’ accomplishments.
