The Role of Employee Recognition: Change, Augmentation and Relevance

Today’s workforces are undergoing major transformation thanks to shifts in workforce dynamic, which means the approach to recognizing employee performance must evolve, too. Formal structures and traditional approaches are out the door; they’ve been replaced with more frequent acknowledgment, an increase in requests for feedback and the need for continuous communication about performance.

Recognition now comes earlier in an employee’s career than ever before, allowing employees to feel appreciated more often than not. By offering more recognition, managers give employees real capacity to excel and give more effort to their levels of performance. It’s about raising the bar for employees when it comes to giving their all, but it boils down to one simple approach: tap into maximized performance with recognition as a fundamental enabler of employee engagement.
