It stands to reason that recognized employees are happy employees. Writing for Forbes.com, William Craig, founder and president of WebFX, an internet marketing company, says it’s also important to note that appreciative leaders are appreciated leaders.
“When employees know their efforts contribute to a cause and are noticed by people higher up the food chain, they feel a deeper connection to leadership,” Craig states.
And when employees feel appreciated, they stick around. When asked why they decided to switch to a different career, the vast majority of employees represented in a recent U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics report indicated they felt either a lack of respect or a lack of autonomy. With a little bit of recognition, you can reverse that trend and keep your talent around for much longer.
Non-cash incentives are an important component of employee recognition efforts. This section features an assortment of recognition ideas from our advertisers.
