Encourage Open Communication

This theme measures the level of employee recognition that the organization provides towards employee efforts and achievements.
This theme encompasses both formal and informal recognition.
The existence of a formal recognition program alone does not inherently translate
into a sense of recognition for employees. The results for this theme are often aligned with: I Receive Timely Recognition on the Quality of My Work.

Why is it Important

Employee recognition is an important tool for managers’ use to bolster employee engagement, improve motivation, and encourage stronger performance of both teams and individuals.
Proper recognition of efforts and achievements can also help the organization retain
top performers as well as reduce turnover.

Factors that Influence

– Direct involvement with employees
– Individual team size
– Supervisor/Manager Efforts

Best Practices

Be Specific:
While general praise does have value, specifying the employee action and its positive impact substantially increases the power of recognition. In addition to celebrating team successes, highlighting individual efforts gives recognition efforts more impact.

Align with Core Values:
Recognize behaviors and accomplishments that align with the organization’s purpose and core values. Recognizing areas connected to core values, for
example leadership and teamwork, help clarify the values employees are expected to embody. This reinforces positive behavior and strengthens organizational culture.

Sample Action Items

Foster an environment where employees feel comfortable asking questions, seeking clarification, and expressing concerns about their roles and responsibilities, promoting transparency and understanding.
