Are you giving your employees what they want?

Employees are craving effective job recognition now more than ever. The Corporate Leadership Council reports that employees’ desire for job recognition has increased 15 percent over the past several months, yet only 11 percent of employees agree managers differentiate recognition accurately.

Give employees what they want. To appreciate in a big way, recognition should be …

Timely - Everyone enjoys a little instant gratification. Reward today’s great work, today. Not tomorrow.
Frequent - Show your appreciation for a job well done consistently and often.
Specific - Highlight a specific instance or accomplishment. Tying recognition to an individual project makes a lasting impression on team members.

Let us help you inventory and evaluate the effectiveness of recognition programs in your organization. We’ve helped our clients design solutions that make the most of their investment by redesigning or reallocating resources to be more effective.
