Recognition-saying thank you in public and perhaps giving a tangible gift along with the words-has multiple functions beyond simple human courtesy. To the rest of the organization, recognition creates role models and communicates the standards: These are the kinds of things that constitute great performance around here. Consider the following tips for recognition:
- Emphasize success rather than failure.
- Deliver recognition and reward in an open and publicized way.
- Deliver recognition in a personal and honest manner.
- Tailor your recognition and reward to the unique needs of the people involved.
- Timing is crucial. Recognize contribution throughout a project.
- Strive for a clear, unambiguous and well-communicated connection between accomplishments and rewards.
