Quick Tips to Employee Recognition
An effective employee recognition system is simple, immediate, and reinforcing. Employees will feel appreciated and people who feel recognized and valued will produce better work. Here are some quick tips to kick employee recognition up a notch:
Write it Out: Write a letter to your employee explaining what they did, why it was important and how it impacted the company. Be sure to hand deliver the letter.
Thank You Note: You can say “Thank You” by sending a greeting card or even an E-card with a personal note inside.
Engraved Plaques: Engraved plaques and certificates of appreciation reinforce the employee recognition. It is important for other employees to know that their fellow employees are receiving recognition, so plan on handing out such awards publicly within the company.
Gift Cards or Gift Certificates: Send a note or letter along with the gift card or gift certificate.
Remember a simple “Thank You” counts as recognition. But you can also make recognition as fun or as elaborate as you want. You can never run out of recognition and no budget is too small to afford employee appreciation. If you want to increase employee productivity and retention, increase the recognition.
