Of course, combining money with the two is a force multiplier. 🙂

So is soliciting feedback, actively listening to it, acting upon it (one way or another), and then informing the employe(es) who provided the feedback what the outcome was.

This type of recognition helps build a culture and can produce exponential results.

1 == When you go to acknowledge them and their contribution — go to their office or workstation. Don’t have them come to yours;
2 == Bring other co-workers into the recognition meeting so the employee is honored in front of his/her peers;
3 == Don’t talk about anything else but the recognition at the Recognition Meeting. The recognition looses its impact if you get into discussions about other work issues. Come back and have that discussion later in the day.
These 3 rules helped a good recognition become a GREAT recognition.
