- Recognition is a leadership tool that sends a message to employees about what is important to the leaders and the behaviors that are valued. Managers can use this tool to help employees understand how their jobs contribute to the agency’s overall goals and how their performance affects the achievement of those goals.
- Sincere. Above all else, a good reward should reflect a genuine expression of appreciation. Token acknowledgements leave something to be desired.Meaningful. To endure a motivating influence, rewards should be aligned with the values, goals, and priorities that matter the most.Adaptable. The diverse workplace demands alternatives. Consider creative options to keep your program fresh. No single reward format works for everyone all the time. [Recognition should be adapted and valuable to the receiver.]Relevant. Some personal dimension is essential to a good reward. No matter how formal or informal, expensive or affordable, the relevance of any recognition will be improved with a personal touch - - it’s a little thing that makes a big difference. [Recognition should be provided by someone of significance to the receiver.]Timely. It is important that rewards respond to the behavior they are intending to reinforce. Don’t let too much time pass or the reward may be devalued and credibility eroded.
- Increasing retention and discretionary effort – Public validation by your peers makes you feel valued. If you believe that your efforts matter, then you’ll be less likely to leave and more likely to make greater contributions.Reinforcing corporate culture and building institutional memory – The program serves as a repository of stories that would otherwise go untold. The act of publically celebrating these stories helps to shape the culture of the company.Fostering collaboration – Searching and browsing the stories in the program is easy and interesting. It’s easier to connect with distant colleagues after you’ve read a compelling story about them.Improving talent spotting – When your peers recognize your contributions, they’re publicly validating your skills. Since the program is searchable, your successes are seen by the entire company. The sender also benefits by visibly demonstrating managerial skills.
