Employee Recognition Programmes

Most people have a need for evaluation of their work and due recognition. They feel that what they do should be recognised by others concerned. Recognition means acknowledgment with a show of appreciation. When such appreciation is given to the work performed by employees, they feel motivated to perform/work at higher level. Some examples of employee recognition are:
* Congratulating the employee for good performance.
* Displaying on the notice board or in the company news letter about the achievement of employee.
* Installing award or certificate for best performance.
* Distributing mementos, complimentary like T-shirts in recognition of employee services.
* Rewarding an employee for giving valuable suggestions.
