Make Every Person Matter: Real Employee Recognition Stories
Whether you’re just starting to build a culture of recognition in your business or looking to elevate your established recognition programme, now is the perfect time to begin shining light on the brilliant things happening everyday in your business. However, all too often we see employee appreciation remain exclusive to job role performance and exceeded KPIs – which risks a recognition culture feeling transactional and falling flat. So, how can businesses launch a culture of recognition all year round that feels meaningful?
Here, we explore the agile ways to appreciate employees in all corners of your business so every person feels seen, heard and valued. Dive into real recognition stories from how our customers are leveraging employee recognition to achieve meaningful workforce engagement and measurable impact.
Ideas for Employee Recognition.
When delivered effectively, employee recognition is one of the most impactful ways to boost engagement, motivation and loyalty across your workforce. Gallup suggests that employees who receive effective recognition are 20x more likely to be engaged at work, compared with employees who receive little or no recognition. Plus, teams who feel their organisation proactively recognises and appreciates them are 56% less likely to seek a new role.
But, this needs to go beyond the occasional ‘well done’ to truly make a difference. At Rippl, market-leading recognition and reward is our bread and butter – so we know a thing or two about delivering meaningful impact. So, whether you’re looking for fresh recognition ideas or want to elevate your existing recognition strategy, here are some examples of appreciation to get you started – and dive into this blog for more details:
- Going above and beyond
- Collaborating with a team
- Demonstrating effective leadership
- Achieving a long service milestone
- Achieving success as part of group or department
- Passing a personal development milestone
- Obtaining a new professional qualification or award
- Championing values and culture
- New ideas and innovations
- Supporting other colleagues
- Creating a safe and inclusive workplace
- Challenging the status quo
Real Employee Recognition Stories.
At Rippl, we believe in making every person feel they matter. Employee recognition shouldn’t be viewed as a nice-to-have, but as a crucial tool in unifying workforces and delivering measurable business impact. Let’s explore real examples of how our brilliant customers leverage the power of recognition in their business, to help inspire your strategy.
