How to Prioritize Employee Recognition in the New Year

 

As we step into the new year, it’s time to start thinking about goals for your organization. One of the best ways to foster a positive and motivating workplace is to prioritize employee recognition. Recognizing and appreciating your team’s hard work will boost morale and contribute to increased productivity. In this blog from an expert provider of acrylic corporate awards, you’ll find out tips for prioritizing recognition in the new year.

Build a Culture of Recognition

Creating a culture of recognition begins with the leaders. You should set an example for your organization by regularly acknowledging your team members. Encourage your managers to start recognizing both big and small accomplishments. You can implement peer-to-peer recognition programs so colleagues can continue to celebrate each other’s achievements. When you take the first step in showing your appreciation to your team, the entire company will become a more positive and collaborative environment.

Personalized Recognition

It’s important to understand that each employee is being recognized in a way that makes them feel comfortable. You may have some team members who like it when you announce your appreciation for them in a company meeting, but others will prefer a less public expression of gratitude. You may consider leaving sticky notes on desks or sending a quick email to let them know you value their hard work.

Implement Awards

In order to take your appreciation to the next level, you should consider implementing custom employee awards. Giving out awards will make your team members feel even more valuable to the company. You can do an Employee of the Month and Quarter awards to regularly recognize any outstanding contributions. Hosting an awards party will bring joy to everyone on the team!

As you take your company into the new year, be sure to take the time to prioritize employee recognition. You can create a culture of appreciation, personalize your recognition, give out employee awards, and watch as your organization becomes even more successful.
