How to ensure your employees know their contribution is valued and has a role to play in achieving corporate goals
Suit: Backed by the organisation
Get the referee, because this card can be a polarising one!
Most people still associate reward with pay, promotion and the usual performance management ratings that come out of yearly appraisals. But for some, it’s not about the money or the title. It’s all about that pat in the back, and being given the kind of growth feedback & recognition that helps you know you’re on the right track.
This card should help you find out which end of the spectrum your organisation is on, whether it is the more formal, traditional side of things or on the organic one. But the thing is, it’s not really about what you’ve got in place. It’s about what your people need. Your recognition efforts should be led by your talent pool and backed by the business.
So go ahead, ask questions and find that sweet spot between formal recognition and informal feedback that truly makes your people tick. Because as you know, employee recognition plays a crucial part in talent retention.
If you’d like to find out how to truly make your people feel valued, have a look at our performance management whitepaper.
