Do employees value recognition?

As we approach the end of the annual performance management process and the leaders hold the annual performance review meetings in most organizations, I invite you be mindful of the power of recognition. 

A global survey conducted with over 1500+ employee sample data, showcased a directly proportional link between employee recognition and employee engagement. 

90% of employees who felt appreciated and valued at work, reported elevated job contentment, increased motivation and a sense accomplishment. 

Employee recognition is not just a checkbox on the well-being strategy checklist, it is a key ingredient for an engaging total rewards strategy and many companies continue to make it their strategic priority in 2025. Rewarding exemplary behavior in the workplace boosts morale as well as creates a company culture focused on growth and achievement.
