A Carrot a Day: A Daily Dose of Recognition for Your Employees

What makes recognition work?

ELEMENTARY, MY DEAR WATSON!

It’s no mystery why some recognition is more effective than others. Just follow these clues:

• Be timely

• Be specific

• Be sincere

• Be prepared

By taking a few minutes to prepare and by using a few helpful techniques, your day-to-day recognition moments (and your formal-recognition events) can do much more than simply thank employees for their contributions; they can enhance working relationships and increase feelings of loyalty and commitment.
