Recognition StatisticsHR Magazine reported that 40% of
employees who don’t feel appreciated or recognized will not go above their formal job responsibilities. Therefore,
employee recognition is extremely beneficial to career growth and
company success
According to SHRM, recognizing employees for
both big and small achievements is most
effective
When effective recognition occurs, it is proven to boost company
morale, productivity, engagement and can also be used as a
retention and development tool (Incentive Research Foundation)
