Building an Effective Recognition Program

Written by YMCA WorkWell Team | Sep 11, 2024 5:51:23 PM
Employees and leaders alike need to know they are recognized and appreciated — that their work matters. Recognition fosters a positive work environment, boosts morale, and enhances productivity.
 
When employees feel valued, they are more likely to be engaged, motivated, and committed to their roles. In this course, we provide leaders with the tools to understand what to recognize, such as exceptional performance, teamwork, and innovative ideas, and how to recognize employees at all levels of the organization effectively.
 
This includes learning the nuances of different recognition methods, from public acknowledgments to personalized notes, ensuring that every effort is made to make employees feel seen and appreciated.
Learning Outcomes
  • Identify the key reasons as to why recognition is important throughout all levels of the organization
  • Identify methods on how to recognize employees, including formal, informal, and day-to-day recognition
  • Create strategies on how to decentralize recognition exclusively from the organizational level
  • Leverage values, goals, and objectives to establish key areas of recognition
  • Understand how recognition and psychological health and safety are interrelated
