If a business is trying to promote employee recognition, senior management need to \u2018walk-the-walk\u2019 in order to help create this culture.

If you\u2019re a smaller company, a quick\u00a0<strong>phone call<\/strong>\u00a0or<strong>\u00a0face-to-face meeting<\/strong>\u00a0can be a great way to deliver praise. In a larger company, a\u00a0<strong>personal email<\/strong>\u00a0will suffice.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>\u00a0Acknowledge when whole teams have done well<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employee recognition doesn\u2019t just have to be given to an individual; sometimes it\u2019s just as rewarding to offer praise to a whole team. Recognise how\u00a0<strong>each member of the team has contributed<\/strong>, be clear about the success, and vocalise to the entire company why it was successful. This can help to inspire other teams, too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Be vocal<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If someone\u2019s done something well,<strong>\u00a0shout about it<\/strong>. Take the opportunity to tell the whole team on an all-hands <a href=\"https:\/\/work.life\/meeting-rooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting<\/a>, in-person or on a call, or send an email about a particular success. If you let people know about a great achievement in the business, chances are other employees will follow suit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Express an interest in professional development<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Recognition doesn\u2019t always have to come in the form of direct praise \u2013 taking a clear\u00a0<strong>interest in an employee\u2019s development<\/strong>\u00a0indicates that you\u2019re invested in their future at the company. This doesn\u2019t always have to mean spending lots of money on courses or qualifications. It can be just as valuable to sit down to discuss what they\u2019d like to achieve at the company, projects they\u2019d like to be involved in or new skills they are interested in learning from another team member.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Give bonuses<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employee recognition doesn\u2019t necessarily have to come in a monetary form, but a bonus is a sure-fire way to show you value an employee. At Work.Life, we have a quarterly \u2018<strong>spot bonus<\/strong>\u2019 awarded to a few team members who perform especially well. The reason(s) for them receiving the bonus are added to our quarterly wrap-up presentation to ensure the whole team are made aware of their great achievement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Align employee recognition with your core values<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about creating an employee recognition program, make sure it aligns with your company\u2019s\u00a0<strong>core values<\/strong>. Your values should be a guideline for your\u00a0employees\u00a0to understand the behaviours you\u00a0value\u00a0as an organisation. If employee recognition becomes a key part of your value proposition, everyone is made aware of how important it is to the business and will likely take it more seriously.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Recognise birthdays<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Never forget to celebrate employee\u2019s birthdays.\u00a0<strong>Showing appreciation<\/strong>\u00a0on a birthday can help individuals feel valued and noticed \u2013 not to mention it\u2019s a great way to get everyone involved in singing \u2018happy birthday\u2019 or sharing a cake.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Create an employee of the month award<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When employee appreciation starts from the top, recognition culture also can\u00a0<strong>trickle down into teams<\/strong>. When team members recognise each other\u2019s achievements, it can help boost individual confidence and encourage teams to bond.<\/p>\n<p>One of the simplest ways is an Employee of the Month award, which can motivate employees and boost morale. There doesn\u2019t need to be a huge prize involved \u2013 try an extra \u00bd day holiday, or a mascot that\u2019s passed on to the new winner each month. Just make sure that the criteria for winning, and who will select the winner is made clear to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23846 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture9.jpg\" alt=\"How recognition motivates employees; employees enjoy pizza and drinks as part of the employee recognition program.\" width=\"680\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture9.jpg 680w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture9-300x145.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Try public recognition<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are plenty of ways to encourage team members to recognise great achievements: a bowl where team members can anonymously add a compliment about someone\u2019s work, a points-based recognition feed like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kazoohr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kazoo<\/strong><\/a>, or a feedback feature on your HR platform.

At Work.Life, we have a\u00a0<strong>Team Engagement Officer<\/strong>. One of their key responsibilities is to work on creating\u00a0<strong>clear channels of feedback<\/strong>\u00a0and<strong>\u00a0initiatives to recognise hard work<\/strong>\u00a0and achievements. Having a go-to person for improving employee recognition ensures that it won\u2019t get forgotten and will stay at the forefront of everyone\u2019s minds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Survey your employees<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure what type of recognition employees want,\u00a0<strong>send out a survey<\/strong>\u00a0to your staff to find out. It\u2019s easy to assume that everyone would want a monetary bonus \u2013 but that might not be the case. For some team members, extra holiday, learning &amp; development opportunities, or the chance to do something with their team might be more of an incentive. Send out an online survey to find out what your team would value most, and use this to refresh or create your employee recognition programme.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Have perks for everyone to enjoy<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Employee recognition isn\u2019t always just about rewarding individuals for one great achievement \u2013 it can also be beneficial to have\u00a0<strong>perks everyone can access<\/strong>. Gym memberships, retail discounts, the opportunity to work flexibly whenever employees want to; these can help with talent recruitment and employee retention. They are great ways to show whole teams you value their hard work and commitment, and are willing to invest in their happiness at the company.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23847\" src=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10.jpg\" alt=\"What type of recognition do employees want?; employees make a toast and celebrate with prosecco as part of the employee recognition program.\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/work.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture10-2048x1369.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Create clear performance metrics<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to improve employee recognition, it\u2019s important to show how to get there. Make sure there are\u00a0<strong>clear KPIs<\/strong> set in every team (as these will likely be different in sales, marketing, operations and so on). There may be times that employee recognition is given as a surprise, but generally, ensure employees know what they can do to reach a certain goal, and what they\u2019ll get when they reach it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Recognise milestones<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smart businesses know that employee retention saves a lot of money. Celebrating long service or milestones can act as an incentive for employees to stay at your company. These could be 3-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 20-year milestones \u2013 and ensure each has a slightly more significant award.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Keep up employee recognition<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When work gets particularly busy, employee recognition can slip. If you\u2019re serious about improving employee recognition, it\u2019s important to keep recognising your employees to ensure they feel valued and engaged. If you drop off, so will your team\u2019s motivation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Try whole team wins<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have some challenging KPIs you want to hit one quarter? To incentivise the whole team, try\u00a0<strong>setting a goal to hit<\/strong> with a prize at the end. Survey the whole team to find out what would be the favourite \u2013 it could be a whole team trip away, or a small bonus for everyone. Then, make sure everyone is aware of the prize, you could put a poster up on the wall and update the whole team each week on their progress.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Recognise other employee achievements<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Recognising employees doesn\u2019t have to just be work-related; sometimes, other talents can be just as important. Maybe someone has done something amazing outside of work or is trying to raise money for charity. Telling the whole team about it can help to create strong bonds and demonstrate to individuals that the company is<strong>\u00a0invested in them as people<\/strong>, not just as employees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em> Shout out on social media<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing being vocal about achievements internally \u2013 but why not take it one step further and put it on your company&#8217;s social media? A \u2018congratulations\u2019 to the Employee of the Month winner or an announcement about a new staff member joining can help individuals feel valued within the business.
