To do their best work, employees need to know what is expected of them, to have the resources to do the job, and to feel that their efforts are valued and appreciated. That is where recognition programs come in. It is simply not enough to hope that the right people will be recognized for the right actions in a meaningful way if there are no guidelines and no tools in place. Provide a framework of values and expectations, guidance for managers and employees, and make recognition part of workplace daily life.
