What Are the Benefits of Employee Recognition?

This blog discusses the importance of employee recognition, citing the "Unleashing the Human Element at Work: Transforming Workplaces Through Recognition" report from Gallup and Workhuman. The report found that when recognition is effective, employees are less likely to feel burned out, more likely to be engaged and see a path to grow at their organization, and more likely to recommend their organization to friends and family. The types of actions that should be recognized include those that embody company values, go above and beyond, and impact company or team business results. Without recognition, organizations risk losing valued employees. Recognition brings the human element to the workplace and is a vital foundation for employee engagement, which is critical for high-performing teams and organizations.
