Uncovering the Power of Employee Recognition Awards

02/01/2013 12:45

Do you want your organization to reach the heights of success? There is surely no chance of getting “No” as the answer. Look around your company; observe those worn out people spending day and night to earn. EARN! Does it sound they are after MONEY, a typical retention approach, derisively! Perhaps “EARN” could suggest anything, it could even be earning a name for you or being appreciated by the boss or trying desperately to being valued. Why not you reward them before their sweat dries out, their spirits go down and with that you better be prepared to see the demise of your estate you dreamed to build and flourish so very much.

So bring it up today, think about better recognizing your employees, devise plans to hand over employee recognition awards. It’s a deal that costs you almost nothing and brings with it to you the “dream estate” you ever tried to build so desperately. To begin with, you can check out a few of the ideas here

  • Plaques, trophies and awards serve as a constant reminder that hard work has not gone unrecognized. Tangible recognition awards are good energizers letting your workforce pull through the rest of the year giving their best to the organization.
  • Company lunches are another good appreciation awards. After all how much it takes to offer a free lunch by the company once in a year? These gestures show the employees they are being cared of and their contributions not forgotten.
  • Another wonderful idea is to plan surprise achievement celebrations for an employee or a whole bunch of employees.  You can even think of a behind the scenes award for those who are not usually in the limelight but sitting at the back, invisible they do awesome jobs.

There is a lot more you can do, the only thing is you need to think about it. Take out a little out of your precious time this session, jostle your mind a little, come up with ideas, incorporate them in your organization and that’s it! You are ready to see the wonders that you’ve not uncovered yet.
