Acknowledging employee achievements/ recognition
Workplace recognition motivates, provides a sense of accomplishment and makes employees feel valued for their work. Recognition not only boosts individual employee engagement, but it also has been found to increase productivity and loyalty to the company, leading to higher retention. Acknowledging employees' best work can be a low-cost endeavor -
key is to know what makes it meaningful and memorable for the employee, and who is doing the recognizing. ~ Gallup June 2016
