How Appreciation Improves Culture
1. Improve employee engagement
Social recognition, by its very design, is open to all and reinforces a culture of daily appreciation. A well-designed social recognition program encourages team members to thank colleagues for a job well done in a timely manner.
2. Increase productivity and reduce turnover
With mobile technology making huge inroads into our daily lives, and on-demand platforms being the norm, dated recognition, not given in-the-moment, is no longer seen as adequate.
Recognizing great work instantly and through any device or platform of your choice, is the power that you get from today’s technology. There really is no excuse for only sticking with the once-a-year annual awards events or waiting for March Employee Appreciation Day.
Promoting peer and manager recognition with the help of social recognition helps companies to celebrate their culture and value systems. It helps to increase productivity and innovation, while reducing turnover. Leveraging the power of technology makes adapting social recognition a snap.
3. Drive behavioral and cultural change
Social recognition helps to drive cultural transformation at the workplace through positive reinforcement of desired behaviors. It is easier than ever before to have a finger on the pulse of the organization. Drive desired change by publicly appreciating desirable actions aligned with organizational goals and value systems.
Our workplace-culture professionals are here to help you understand the platform. We’ll guide you through a quick dive into the basics of setting up your recognition program before setting you on the path to configuring your very own fast, easy, and simple recognition program.
