Isn’t it great to be recognized by someone?  Especially when it comes to job performance and quality work.  Over the years I have seen companies require standards for work performance and establish goals and when an individual achieves those criteria established by management, there has not been any recognition.  But new higher goals were set and the employee reaches out for them wanting to do better.  Some may say he is just doing his job working at self emprovement.  But when those accomplishments are not recognized with a reward whether a thank you note from the supervisor or a gift from higher management then it is deterimental to the company.  Employee recognition reinforces and rewards the most important outcomes people create for your business, it is just one of the ways the company can communicate to their employees.  When a company recognizes people effectively, you reinforce the actions and behaviors you most want to see
people repeat.  What criteria should be established to be effective at employee recognition? 

1.  You should have all employees eligible for the recognition.

2.  There must be specific information as to what behaviors and/or actions are being rewarded.

3.  Anyone who performs at the level or standard required then receives the reward.

4.  The employee recognition should occur as soon as possible after the performance of the employee has been recognized.  Of what benefit to both the company and the individual if it is 6 months later that “oh by the way you did a great job for us.”

Rewards and recognition that help both the employer and the employee get what they need from work are a win-win situation.
