Where’s the ready-made metric and structure?

Our approach to employee recognition encompasses these key points:

• In the moment– as much as possible be timely, specific, descriptive and measured.
• In context – recognition is most effective when it’s given in the context of a larger goal or business-results-focused activity. This matters.
• Appropriate in volume/scale– here again randomness is not your ally. Recognition should match effort and results, or it loses meaning.
• Authentic, not automatic– you have to mean it when you give employees recognition. Unfortunately, many automated recognition systems remove the human touch so important to effective recognition.
• Tied to the employee’s perception of value– people know when they’re valued, and they should have a good idea of their value to the Monetary rewards can skew this notion of value, linking it to cash when it should be linked to appreciation of extra effort. Money is appropriate much of the time, but it’s not the only – or even the most effective – motivator.
