DO YOU HAVE GREAT STAFF? IT'S TIME TO RECOGNIZE THEM!
There are many types of recognition for your outstanding employees. Research shows that employees have different individual needs and preferences for how they like to receive recognition. The best way to show your appreciation is to find out what it is that your deserving employee(s) want and try to select something in that type.
There are two common ways (below) to reward staff monetarily, outside of the career development process.
Give a High Five!
Submit a "High Five" for a staff member who has had a positive impact on you. Recognize staff for what they've done well and why you appreciate them. Our HR team will send them an individual certificate with your note and they may be highlighted for their great work here!
