Back to the Basics: Recognition, Appreciation, and Employee Engagement

Recognition and appreciation should be the foundation of your employee engagement strategy and at this moment in time, it should be at the top of every CEO’s priority list.

According to Gallup’s most recent survey published in January of 2023, “employee engagement in the U.S. saw its first annual decline in a decade — dropping from 36% engaged employees in 2020 to 34% in 2021. This pattern continued into 2022, as only 32% of full- and part-time employees working for organizations are now engaged, while 18% are actively disengaged.”1  What does this tell us? It tells us it’s time for change and time to step up your recognition efforts… so your company doesn’t become a statistic.

Now is the most wonderful time of the year… to show appreciation!

Ahhh, the end of the year – Q4, the home sprint, time to take a breath. There’s a natural cheer in the air and uplifted spirits with feelings of progress. For many employees, the end of the year is synonymous with holidays and a time for reflection, giving, and sharing thanks across all areas of their lives – at home and at work. For others, the holidays may be difficult; employees may feel added pressure to close sales, wrap up inventories, use budgets, and some may be faced with the general anxiety that the holiday season may bring.

In either case, now is the perfect time to pause and share appreciation with your teammates. The closing of the year gives us the opportunity to celebrate accomplishments, recognize individual and team successes, offer special thanks, and inspire motivation for the new year.

Check out some tips for ensuring your employees know they are valued, showing them you care and inspiring them for an amazing 2022!

Using service awards to engage your employees and impact your bottom line.

Service awards have and always will be a key component for building employee loyalty and engagement. With companies having a more challenging time retaining employees than hiring them, an effective service award program supports a strong workplace culture and helps retain employees. A service award doesn’t have to be a one-time event – rather it can be something that can consistently inspire and motivate your team.

Build a positive workplace culture by leveraging peer relationships.

Workplace culture, employee experience, diversity of workforce – these factors are converging to create new dynamics in our everyday work life. A common denominator for success across each of these is peer relationships, which can be fostered by peer recognition. As a major component of an overall recognition strategy, peer-to-peer recognition creates a sense of belonging, builds connections, creates a culture of trust and teamwork, and can help support your company’s business.
