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

Time is of the essence.

TICK. TOCK. TICK. TOCK.

To be effective, recognition should be timely. That means if you need to get approvals before giving a recognition award, get those in the fastest manner possible. Presentations must be made within a few days or weeks of the accomplishment. Wait longer than that and you’ve missed your window of opportunity.

Think this might not be a big deal? Ever missed your wedding anniversary by five minutes? Ever missed a loved one’s birthday? Then you know what we mean. Being timely is vital.
