What to Recognize In Your
Recognition Program
Whether you have a current corporation/organization or are hiring new employees, this section of information will be most beneficial to you and your management team. You will get more about this section in effective ways to recognize your employees in any situation that you may currently have in your organization. Let's get started!
----- New Employee
Orientation (Day One) -----
Simply plan a small gathering
after one or two months - right in the work person's office or desk
to just say "Welcome to XYZ organization, we're glad you're
here!" You could also present a small token on behalf of the
organization - doesn't have to be anything of high value.
The best time to begin the
formal recognition process is during the first few weeks on the job.
A small award helps bond a new
hire to an organization and helps retain the employee during the
stressful training period of just starting a new position within your organization.
----- Service Awards -----
These awards - earned in
appreciation for dedicated years of service - can be symbols of
achievement when they feature your organization's corporate identify
or logo.
When done right - within the
right recognition strategy and with the right presentations --
length-of-service programs are a perfect opportunity to recognize
every employee in the organization!
Career achievement awards are
generally presented to employees every five years and are used by
more than 90 percent of companies/organizations in the United States.
----- Informal Recognition -----
Say thank you (yes, out loud!),
use thank you notes, special parking spots, evena prized rubber
chicken if it suits you, but constantly recognize strategic behaviors
and outstanding performance in a million little ways - you will get
this back time and time again in increased productivity and profits
to your company/organization!
Day-to-day recognition moments
are simple acts that generate HUGE HUGE returns!
According to the Gallup
organization, high performing workplaces had one common element -
their manager had recognized members within the last seven days! Are
you and your organization doing this currently?
----- Performance Recognition -----
Performance recognition programs
should be much more than a "Thank you" for a job well done.
When implemented properly and strategically, they recognize
performance and behaviors that support the company/organizations
business goals.
Employees or teams may be
recognized by peers, other departments or a manager for actions that
help achieve significant company/organization results and achievements.
Recognition may come in the form
of a simple note of appreciation to a public ceremony and the
presentation of a quality award to the company/organiztion/individuals.
----- Sales, Safety, and
Other Programs -----
Remember, NOTHING starts without
a sale! Your payroll isn't paid, your vendors aren't compensated with
sales. It is always a good idea to present any type of award
publicly. When colleagues see the presentation, it reinforces
positive feedback/behaviors for which the other employees/team
associates can earn recognition.
A comprehensive recognition
strategy helps foster the commitment of your employees to your company/organization.
Which programs you choose to
implement will depend on the culture of your company/organization and
the goals of your company/organization.
----- Retirement Recognition -----
While a "retirement banquet
or reception" maybe a tradition, it's important to do something
in the workplace on the employee's last day -- perhaps a gathering of
immediate colleagues at the retiree's workplace to say a formal
"congratulations and good luck."
A retirement award is a standard
at most companies/organizations.
Gone are the days of presenting
a gold watch at retirement. Today, most larger organizations offer a
selection of items that allow employees to choose their award - from
traditional gold watches and rings to grandfather clocks and
electronic items.
