Recognition
@Tech
Workplace recognition motivates, provides a sense of accomplishment, and makes employees feel valued for their work. Recognition not only boosts individual employee engagement but also has been found to increase productivity and loyalty to the company, leading to higher retention.
Regular
Gallup suggests recognizing employees at least once a week. It’s crucial to satisfy an employee’s ongoing, short-term need for regular recognition rather than relying on infrequent, annual gestures.
Immediate
Strike while the iron is hot! Timely recognition is more meaningful and authentic. The quicker you acknowledge someone for a specific behavior, the more likely they will repeat it.
Specific
Linking recognition to a specific achievement encourages continued strong performance. Authenticity lies in personalized appreciation, aligning your recognition to an individual’s preferred methods of acknowledgement.
Encouraging
Encourage peer-to-peer recognition amongst your team. A culture of recognition thrives when everyone actively participates, bringing about a more inclusive and uplifting workplace environment.
Service Milestones
Georgia Tech formally recognizes employees’ years of service when their tenure reaches one, five, 10, and 25 years.
