Are they new to the company or have they been around for a while.Are they shy or do they enjoy the spotlight?.It’s important to have a good grasp on the personalities of those employees working for you. As Dale Carnegie wisely put it, “People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards.” The result is superior work environments, more motivated employees, and excellent workplace productivity. Humans Crave Recognitionĭid you know that humans need and even crave recognition? Today’s most resilient organizations see this as an opportunity and are doing their best to fill it. It lets people know they’re seen and that your company is invested in their lives and in their well-being. Taking the opportunity to offer congratulations for personal achievements is next-level for an employer. Personal milestones and causes for celebration are happening in your team’s lives all the time. These acknowledgments are more easily made, and more impactful, when you’ve made the effort to develop real, authentic relationships at work. Recognizing employees outside of the work environment might include congratulations for a graduation, a new home, a wedding, the birth of a child, or even for finishing a race. The late organizational anthropologist and CEO of Benchmark Communications, Judith Glaser said that celebrating success stimulates feelings of “inclusion, innovation, appreciation, and collaboration in the brain.” These all contribute to increased creativity and focus, a more peaceful work environment, and even resilience to stress in high-pressure situations. Never underestimate the power of recognizing achievements large and small. Congratulations and recognition in the workplace might be offered for big achievements like promotions, or for smaller day-to-day successes like presentations, sales, teamwork, mentorship, simple kindnesses, and plain old hard work.
