Recognition is often cited as one of the most important contributing factors to career satisfaction and an overall sense of accomplishment among employees. At the Emages Executive of the Year Awards, we help you with a strategic approach to your achievement and service recognition needs. Acknowledging achievement can motivate future performance while retaining talent and creating loyalty that will endure. Engaged and enthusiastic people are the core of any outstanding organization and they deserve to be recognized.
Why People Need Recognition
- Recognition boosts self-esteem and performance: People need to feel important, satisfied, and inspired to perform to their fullest potential.
- Recognition signifies that someone notices and someone cares: It satisfies a person’s essential needs and leads to new motivation, improved performance, and higher self-esteem.
- Recognition is increasingly important in today’s business environment: Competition for the best workers is intense. At the same time, the importance of human resources is paramount—a company needs to obtain extraordinary results from ordinary people. Yet another factor is the attitude among today’s employees—who value job satisfaction over most other criteria. Bottom line—an organization that wants to be competitive absolutely needs to make employees feel valued so they perform their best work on a daily basis and stick around to make a continuous contribution.
Recognition is not just for the person who performed well: It is also a message to other employees about the type of performance that gets noticed in an organization. Management consultant Rosebeth Moss Kanter says, “To the rest of the organization, recognition creates role models and heroes and communicates the standards of the kinds of things that constitute great performance around here.”
