Recognizing all the contributions to success
According to Gallup data, good recognition is that which is honest and based on measurable outcomes. In other words people don’t just want to be told that they’re doing a “good job.” They want to know how their work made a difference. The research shows that most people like to be individually recognized about once a week or so. That might sound like a lot but, again, if the recognition is honest and deserved it’s never too much.
Elan Nattrass is part of a team that scored high on the People First survey question about recognition—here she highlights the importance of recognizing all the contributions to a collective success.
