When was the last time you asked your team members “how do you like to be recognized for great work?” If the answer is never, consider adding this question to your new hire onboarding process or your next 1:1. Their answers may surprise you!
Recognition and appreciation are so important to employee engagement, but it is often treated as a one-size-fits-all approach.
What are some ways you can recognize great work?
▶ a nice email or handwritten note clearly describing the impact of the individual’s contributions
▶ giving your team member a platform to share their work or accomplishments with their team (ie. a demo at a department meeting or All Hands)
▶a discussion about achievements and career path opportunities
▶provide an opportunity for additional skill-building and personal development (ie. training courses, conference pass, book stipend)
