It’s time for new words to describe employee engagement—words that speak to a new approach to the field. Instead of employee engagement, how about Brand Experience Alignment?

Over the years, employee recognition has evolved from being a nice way to thank employees for their years of service, to something that can have a significant and meaningful impact on your workforce and your business. And because of this, it’s no longer seen as a “nice to do'', but a “have to do”.
However, as with anything in life and in business, it’s all about how you do it - do it the right way and you reap the benefits, do it the wrong way and you waste your time, energy and your company’s money.
It’s this “right way” of doing recognition that we will explore in this guide, sharing tips and stories to help you achieve the many positive impacts that it can deliver to your employees and your company.

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.

2. The real cost of losing employees
Modern companies devote a ton of time and resources to finding great people.
But how much do they invest in retaining the employees they’ve already hired?
Chances are, not enough.
New data indicates that the cost of losing employees is even more staggering
than anticipated.
While this statistic may be alarming, in this guide we’ll cover the concrete steps
you can take to help keep your employees around for the long haul.

The old saying of “People leave managers, not companies” continues to be more true
than ever. In fact, having a bad boss is the number one reason5
that people switch jobs.
It’s important to never forget the direct impact you have on employees. As a manager,
you must juggle shifting priorities. But if you don’t adequately train and encourage your
team, you may be restaffing their roles in the near future.

COMPANIES WITH STRUCTURED TRAINING:
☐ Create a career development plan for each employee. After assessing their
strengths and weaknesses, identify projects to hone the skills they want
to develop. Next, pinpoint training sessions to support their goals, like classes,
conferences, or even video tutorials from LinkedIn Learning.
☐ Use the buddy system. Help them find and identify an outside mentor and assign
an onboarding buddy to make sure that the employee feels supported on day-to-
day tasks as well as longer-term growth goals.
NEXT STEPS
6. Open the lines of communication
Great managers don’t just have critical conversations about feedback once a year during
performance reviews. They develop a regular check-in cadence to talk with employees about
recent wins, progress they’re making, or ways they can add more value to their organization.
Another point to consider is, are you giving your employees the chance to provide feedback
to you? Too often, managers think of feedback as a one-sided conversation. Allowing your
employees to give you feedback helps them know that their voice is valued and, consequently,
inspires them to stay with your organization.

068 “11 Eye-Opening Statistics on the Importance of Employee Feedback.” Blog.hubspot.com, August 26, 2017
☐ Make your one-on-ones actionable. From recommending a book on a subject relevant to their job to
giving them advice on how to handle a situation, always end your one-on-ones with an action item.
☐ Recognize your employees’ unique strengths. We all have unique talents. Adjusting roles to
accommodate the unique strengths of team members can help reduce turnover.
☐ Learn what their resentment is. We all have certain things outside of work that help ground us.
For some people, that might mean getting home in time for dinner with their family. For others,
it might be a weekly soccer game. Being accommodating of your employees’ outside commitments
will help them feel more valued at work.

7. Offer flexible
working environments
Everyone works differently. Without the burden of commuting or
distractions at the office, many people can get more done if they work
from home, or during off-hours.
By offering flexible work options, you’re showing your team that you not
only care about their productivity, but you also care about their well-being.
It’s an easy way to keep employees engaged, and can also be a selling
point to attract new talent.

HOW FLEXIBILITY IMPROVES RETENTION:
☐ Take flexibility for a test drive. Before offering workplace
flexibility to your whole team, pilot the idea with a few
employees who have expressed interest.
☐ Talk to the higher-ups. If you see success metrics in your
pilot program, loop in management about the idea of
expanding workplace flexibility to the rest of your team.
☐ Set some ground rules. For example, if an employee
decides to work from home on Wednesdays, suggest that
they send an outline Wednesday morning of all the key
deliverables they’re working on. This will make it easier
for everyone to be better informed.

☐ Practice variety in giving. From annual fundraising events to volunteer activities,
having options to give back throughout the year will give employees more ways to
find meaning and causes that are important to them.
☐ Support your team’s passions. Asking them to submit causes they care about
can lead to them being more passionate and invested in the experience.
☐ Track and share your results. Knowing the impact of your team’s volunteering
and charitable programs extends the value, and can breed more giving across
the company.
