10 Tried-and-True Tips for Effective Employee Recognition
share
inShare
by Richelle Taylor, Aimia | June 15, 2014
It’s been widely proven that employee recognition programs can positively impact a company’s retention, culture, and productivity. However, what starts out as a well-intentioned initiative can quickly fizzle when not designed and implemented effectively, leaving HR leadership scratching their heads and wondering why the program didn’t work.
Here are 10 tips to keep your employee recognition program moving on the right track towards achieving maximum results:
1. Plan With a Solid Strategy
Even a simple recognition program needs a real strategy, including clearly defined metrics that align with the company’s overarching aspirations. When employees understand how their performance directly affects your organization’s mission, they see that everyone is on the same team, working toward something bigger than themselves. As an HR leader, your recognition efforts will yield positive results and, in turn, your employees will understand how their roles have meaning within the larger company.
2. Communicate Clearly and Often
Many companies make the mistake of generating excitement about their new recognition program, but then forget how important it is to continually remind employees about the program, its benefits, and how it fits with the company’s overall mission. In addition, program rules must be clearly communicated to all participants and stakeholders; nothing is more frustrating than a program with confusing goals or unattainable awards. Communication must also be aligned to your audience, so that your messaging is appropriate to different targets -- whether it’s senior leadership, management or front-line employees.
3. Deliver On-the-Spot Rewards
It’s one thing to offer incentives for employees to reach goals, but long-delayed rewards can have a negative effect. Making someone wait until the end of the year for a service-anniversary award, for instance, will just irritate employees. Instead, consider offering on-the-spot rewards -- whether it’s a gift certificate or a simple act of public recognition -- to catch people when they are doing something great or deserve a pat on the back.
4. Entice With Relevant Rewards
Don’t waste your investment on rewards that aren’t meaningful to employees. Instead, find out what they really want and would appreciate. For instance, your Millennial new hire in San Francisco probably has different tastes than your seasoned, Baby Boomer employee in Chicago.

Employee Retention Strategies to Survive the Great
Resignation

Human Resources
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates
that over 47 million people in the United States have voluntarily quit jobs. This
phenomenon has been labeled the Great Resignation.
Another survey found that most people who quit their jobs in 2021 did so because of low
pay (63%), lack of opportunities for advancement (63%), and feeling disrespected at work
(57%). At least a third of those who left say that each of these was a major reason.
So, you may be looking for strategies to reduce your company’s attrition rate and keep
your best employees.
In today’s world of job-hopping and freelancing, it’s not easy to keep employees on board,
but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put in any effort.
If you’re looking to successfully get through the Great Resignation, here are some
strategies you may consider implementing:
2. 2/10
Why employee retention is difficult during the Great Resignation
Simply put, employee retention is difficult due to high job demands and decreased layoffs.
Here’s a quick look at the job demands in late 2021:
Source
The economy’s resurgence contributes to the rising demand for talent, causing a huge
demand-supply gap. The new jobs and roles open avenues for talent to shift to different
positions and companies. Due to the increased competition for top talent, organizations
3. 3/10
are providing higher salaries, flexible work options, and more paid leaves.
While it is certainly challenging to retain employees, there are ways to overcome this
hurdle, especially by implementing effective retention and recruitment strategies.
The strategies you need to retain employees
Although the Great Resignation presents challenges, it’s not something new that global
businesses are facing for the first time. Many businesses have faced and overcome
arguably more difficult challenges before.
While you can’t apply solutions of previous crises to the Great Resignation, the most
current shift in the corporate world is still manageable by following fundamental business
principles.
With the Great Resignation looming, every company should ask how they can best keep
their staff. Here, we’ll discuss some strategies for attracting and retaining top talent.
1. Refine your onboarding process
Onboarding reflects what your company is and ultimately leaves the first impression on
new employees. A report indicates a 2.6 times increase in job satisfaction among new
employees when they have a positive onboarding experience.
You can rely on learning management tools that streamline difficult or time-consuming
procedures for companies to hire new employees. Leveraging a comprehensive learning
platform allows you to create personalized onboarding experiences for new employees.
Extra steps need to be taken to make sure employees joining remotely feel integrated into
their team. To achieve this, you could implement a virtual onboarding program that may
utilize internal bots to help facilitate a more seamless connection within your team. Check
for chatbot pricing and integrate an employee engagement bot within your onboarding
activities to encourage icebreaker conversations.
An positive first impression would help your new employees feel part of a family, and
encourage them to succeed in their new position. Each team member should have the
necessary training, events, materials, and certifications at their disposal.
2. Offer more flexibility & better tools
Think of a change; like after-sales services are reinforced by using the right customer
service software, your business has to adopt flexible tools as employees demand greater
flexibility.
Work-from-home success during the early days of a pandemic has made people realize
that they can get the same amount of work done without commuting or even the need to
stay tethered to a fixed location. The concept of employment flexibility also includes
working hours with location to strike a perfect work-life balance.

A survey by Slack suggests that 72% of employees prefer a hybrid arrangement that
combines the home and the office.
There is a reluctance to “return to normal” when firms begin to bring their employees
back to work. And there’s a solid explanation for it — a shift in priorities is taking place in
the workplace. A larger workforce demands this flexibility, and bigger corporations are
offering it.
Now its your time to provide the same.
Some of your existing employees may be looking at the exit door and willing to join your
competitor if they offer the flexibility of remote work. Among 1,022 professionals
surveyed in a January 2021 poll, 29% said they would resign if they were no longer
allowed to work from home.
Here are some of the key factors that a modern-day worker would consider when it comes
to flexibility:
Time utilization
They might be doing 2 hours of commute for an 8-hour job (1/4th of their time). For the
employee, this is wasted time that could otherwise be spent with friends and family.
Money
Working at an office comes with a slew of expenses (think: commuting, city rent, child
care, etc.). Offering remote work flexibility would mean they could save some extra money
while still being able to effectively do their job.
Flexibility
People have come to realize the true value of their time and relationships amidst the ups
and downs of the pandemic. Providing work-shift flexibility coupled with remote work
would enable an ideal work-life balance.
3. Prioritize employees’ progress
Your employees will prioritize your business if you prioritize them.
If we follow Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, your employees want to feel pride in being part
of something bigger than themselves – the fourth stage of Esteem.
Here, your employee’s friends, family, and coworkers are aware of and appreciate the
company’s accomplishments. Employees want to know that coworkers and family
members appreciate their effort and see their accomplishments recognized in public. As a
result, they pivot growth so much that they may decide to quit their jobs out of the fear of
falling behind in the competition.

According to the Balance Careers reports, employees under the age of 34 have an average
tenure of 2.8 years. An employee’s ability to get a new job might be jeopardized if they feel
behind the curve in their career.
49% of professionals want their employers to assist them in improving their careers. On
the contrary, 80% of workers believe their employees are not taking enough steps to
unlock their growth. One way to help them grow as your business evolves is to provide
them with on-the-job training.
This approach will help your team maintain its edge while grasping new industry
standards. Investments in developing your existing team can help build trust and affinity
that contributes to increased loyalty in the longer run.
Also, think of a different perspective to project your brand to employees. That is,
attaching a stronger significance to your products/services with the help of an employee
mission statement. This could help you better emotionally connect with employees.
Communicate your company’s employee mission in meetings, emails, and conferences to
show how much your business values its staff’s growth and why they are an important
part of the organization.
4. Incentivize with growth opportunities
One of the common ways to do away with hiring issues is to focus on your existing team.
The rising competition for talent forces businesses to offer financial and educational
incentives to attract candidates.
It’s therefore necessary to keep your staff happy and motivated, and provide them with
the same benefits as your rivals. Try making your workplace fun and exciting by offering
growth opportunities, motivating high-performers, and paying attention to what your
employees have to say about the business.
Both lateral and vertical growth opportunities help boost employee retention. Employees
will be more inclined to stay with your firm if they think they won’t be able to find a better
opportunity elsewhere.
For instance, here’s what Deloitte found in a 2020 research on what motivates workers to
hunt for new jobs:

It’s most common for employees to look for other opportunities because they believe
there’s no room for growth in the company, regardless of salary or position.
Try implementing an ongoing pay boost plan to encourage employees to go above and
beyond their duties. Instead of a yearly performance evaluation, try conducting the same
every quarter and, depending on how well someone meets their goals, define their raise.
5. Build connections between employees
A survey by the Institute of Leadership and Management recorded that 77% of
respondents said that the most significant aspect in determining job happiness was
developing strong connections with coworkers.
Building a trusting environment and keeping top talent requires a strong sense of
community. This is especially crucial in a job when you are working from home.
Here are some of the key ways to ensure fostering a certain camaraderie between
employees:
Make time for connection
Employees will appreciate your effort to get to know them better. When things are hectic,
building trust amongst coworkers is critical. This includes taking a day out for lunch,
indulging in team-building activities, and arranging other entertainment evenings to help
employees bond.
Fostering collaboration
Small organizations may have difficulty blending in employees from various backgrounds
or working remotely. For this, you can leverage tools, like Kahoot and Polly, that help
conduct polls on Slack through quizzes and run icebreaker challenges.
Encourage sharing of expertise

Employees are keen on learning from and helping each other. Empower employees by
conducting expertise-driven knowledge-sharing sessions. Also, encourage others to come
up and share their expertise to help others benefit.
6. Ensure employee recognition
The Great Resignation has raised employees’ expectations for higher incentives and
recognition. Rewards and recognition significantly influence employee motivation and
engagement because people appreciate knowing that their efforts aren’t going unnoticed.
A study by Octanner suggests that 79% of employees cite a lack of appreciation as a
primary reason to quit their job.
Here are some of the key ways to implement a highly effective reward program for
employees:
You can introduce a peer-to-peer recognition program, using tools like
Culture Cloud, to encourage your staff to recognize one other’s hard work regularly.
If you want to keep your staff productive, make employee recognition a
continual and integral part of business culture. Also, think of giving
personalized recognition where you identify what works as the best motivation for
which employee. This means you would link employees to purpose, achievement,
and each other within the staff.
You can establish certain milestones for employees, and make sure that
achieving those milestones in a predetermined timeline makes them eligible for
incentives as a part of your employee recognition program.
On-floor appreciation and goodies can also go a long way in creating a sense of
recognition amongst colleagues. Also, think of introducing a social component to
employee recognition where you send them gifts and vouchers on work
anniversaries, birthdays, marriage anniversaries, etc.
7. Build a culture of trust
A lot of your time and effort goes into finding the right people to work with you and
trusting them to do their job. This creates a sense of belongingness where employees feel
‘trusted.’ Therefore, it’s better to avoid the urge to micromanage and instead provide them
with all the possible resources they could need to carry out their tasks.
If you have hired them for a certain position and task, trust them! This also speaks
volumes of your confidence in your hiring choice.
Here are some key ways to ensure getting the job done by trusting your employees:
Keep everyone aligned
Ensure everyone in your organization knows what the other person is responsible for.
This approach would need you to ensure visibility of cross-departmental tasks and
activities that each team member makes. This way, you align your staff with others

without departmental business and keep processes more transparent.
Prioritize output over hours
Gone are the days of factory workers who’d be paid based on the number of hours they
put to work. Modern-day work involves completing certain time-bound tasks, organizing
meetings, creating reports, and much more.
Therefore, if you’re still judging employees based on the number of hours they commit, it
may put them off and get them to ultimately look for other companies that fit their
philosophy of performance-based pay.
Promote task & hierarchy transparency
You can’t build trust without promoting transparency. It requires you to foster a culture
where workers and supervisors are honest and open about their opinions.
Also, key stakeholders should openly discuss the company’s performance, share the P&L
balance sheet, and communicate future goals to increase employee confidence.
Benefits of catering to employees
Redirecting HR efforts from recruitment to employee development and retention drives
employee satisfaction and prevents costly churn.
It also boosts employees’ morale, increases camaraderie, and creates a happy
work environment which focuses on employee engagement. Meaningful employee
development offers them incentives to stick around and genuinely care about the
company’s growth.
Binding your employees’ long-term ambitions to your business goals helps build a
stronger team that’s more likely to deliver outstanding results and boost business
revenue.
