As the end of the year approaches, many employers will look for ways to thank employees for their hard work. Some will hand out bonuses while others will throw a big holiday bash. Whatever the strategy, recognition has proved itself not only an act of good will, but also an important business tool that can enhance engagement and retention.
December offers up natural opportunities to thank employees, but employers on top of their recognition game find ways to show gratitude throughout the year. C-suite executives can cultivate a culture of recognition, which managers help carry out in making sure employees feel appreciated on a daily basis.
In this spotlight edition, we examine the importance of recognition and explain how employers can demonstrate appreciation. If you have any questions, please reach out to the HR Dive team at [email protected].
