Why is this 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.

Recommended Action Items
Consider implementing the following action items as part of your personalized strategy to improve the level of employee engagement within your team.
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 the Small Things
Do not overlook small achievements where employees have gone above and beyond. Take time to appreciate the little things. Every day recognition can motivate employees just as much as major accomplishments.

Standards of Recognition
When setting expectations, be sure to use objective criteria such as sales or KPI targets that are easy to understand and measure. Use these as a baseline for measuring performance that can be referenced for employee feedback and development.
