Part 1 of this two part series talked about praise & recognition being an inexpensive action on the part of an employer, while being highly valued by employees. In Part 2, we want to identify what’s in it for your company to have a culture of praise & recognition.
The highly regarded Gallup Organization has surveyed more than 4 million employees on this topic. Their analysis included more than 10,000 business units & more than 30 industries. Here’s what they found about individuals who receive recognition & praise on a regular basis:
- Lower turnover
- Increased productivity
- Greater engagement with their colleagues
- Higher satisfaction scores from their customers/clients
- Less absenteeism
Yes, people are motivated by money. However, they are motivated by MORE THAN MONEY. People crave knowing something they’ve done or achieved has been noticed & is appreciated by means of a leader’s:
- Positive feedback
- Recognition for extra effort
- Acknowledgement of special results
3 EXAMPLES OF NO COST RECOGNITION
- Give them a handwritten note

Guides for praise & recognition
As a reminder from Part 1:
- Be authentic
· Praise as often as it is deserved - Understand & match the praise to the person
· If your company uses DISC behavioral style assessments, you know that different types of individuals need different types of praise.
· For example, “C” style people will want the praise to be very specific & concise; whereas, “S” styles will want the praise to help them understand how what they did benefitted others (employees, the company &/or clients/customers). - Do so in a timely manner
· Ideally “on the spot”, but if not very then, shortly afterward.
