The document provides suggestions for various ways to recognize employees, engage employees, and improve company culture and employee satisfaction. Some of the key suggestions include: 1) Establishing an employee recognition program with awards for outstanding performance, achievements, and service as a role model. 2) Publishing an in-house company magazine quarterly to share company updates and allow employee contributions. 3) Creating an internal online forum for employees to post issues, questions, and suggestions to be addressed by HR. 4) Conducting department meetings to gather new ideas from employees on improving quality, customer satisfaction, and teamwork.

1. Suggestions
Employee recognition : Spot Awards, Annual Achievement awards, Outstanding performance
award, Best Employee award etc. A scanned copy of letter of appreciation along with their
photos should be displayed in the notice board. The letter should excel their achievements, i.e
how different are they from others? On what grounds were they nominated? How could they
serve as role model for other employees....
Together WE - In-house magazine : Once in a quarter these magazines gives a snapshot as to
what is happening in their company which includes sharing Company growth, Management
Objectives, Customer satisfaction, List of new customer sign-up, Sales review, Customer delivery
and feedback, Partnership details, Up coming projects etc. The company also prints the
contributions given by the employees such as Motivation stories, Paintings, Poetry, Riddles,
Jokes, Technology related articles, Safety and Health related ppt, Nature photographs taken by
employees etc.
Reach US : Its a online forum that is available in intranet site of that particular company where
employees can post their issues related to work, work environment, HR Policies, Training needs
etc. Once in a month HR head along with their executives will have a open meeting with the
employees (without mentioning the name of the employee) to resolve it then and there.
Quality Session Meeting : Department wise team meet will be conducted by HR where in which
each employee comes up with new ideas and concepts to improve the Quality of work, also how
to deliver the same on time, how to reach out for customer satisfaction, technology growth,
significance of team work, knowledge on advanced technologies etc., At the end of the meet,
department head nominates a employee and gifts him a prize for his innovative and creativeness
Chat : Internal chat will be provided for employees – Easy way to communicate.
An Idea : Its an online forum in the intranet where employees can share their ideas and views on
celebrating Annual day function, Kick – off party, Festivals, Get-together day, Birthdays etc. For
every best and unique idea there will be a surprising gift.(Movie tickets, team out, team lunch,
chocolates, An official day off etc.)
We care : HR should conduct Free Health Check-up for all employees once in a year as well as
should call in Doctors/ Psychiatrist for seminars on various topics chosen by employees via poll.
Blood donation camps can also be arranged as a part of social service.
Quote for the day : This is done department wise. Any one employee from each department
should write a quote on their white board. HR should decide the best quote for the day. The
department that gets the highest points for the month would be offered a gift. Gift is again based
on the number of points that they accumulate (Hats, Shirts, Coffee mugs etc. with Company
logo)
