Is Employee Connection Being Prioritized
Is Employee Connection Being Prioritized?
Research finds that employees who receive consistent connection and recognition are more engaged, motivated, and likely to remain with your organization.
Yet, in many organizations, employees find themselves falling under the radar – experiencing inconsistency in employee treatment or even feeling ignored. Because of these experiences, there could be a misconception that their managers are incapable, biased, or disinterested.
But why is this really happening?
The reality is that managers are busy and don’t prioritize the time needed to create a consistent employee connection and provide their teams with acknowledgement and validation through recognition. These are core leadership tasks that managers must be encouraged to schedule time for, while juggling many other high-level responsibilities.
Are recognition and communication being identified as manager priorities within your organization?

The Benefits of Year-Round Gratitude
Giving thanks throughout your organization is not only noble—it is smart. Mindful business leaders who are wise and generous enough to make it a year-round practice are being rewarded with healthier and more robust organizations.

3 Reasons Employee Engagement Is Declining
3 Reasons Employee Engagement is Declining & How Managers Can Improve It
Article from Forbes.com
Employee engagement is one of those management attributes that can be hard to define. Different companies characterize it differently, but there’s one thing they pretty much all agree on: They do want engaged employees. Why? Engaged employees are usually more committed, hardworking, and productive.
There are three measures in particular at the heart of substantive problems management often deals with – problems that if not resolved have far-reaching consequences on employee engagement, productivity and retention. The three measures are: Lack of Employee Recognition, Lack of Transparency, and Disconnection from Peers.

How Incentives Impact Emotions
How Incentives Impact Emotions
When it comes to tapping into the emotions that make recognition/incentive programs work, businesses have noted that tangible, non-cash rewards do a better job of attracting and holding people’s interest, getting them excited about possibilities, and motivating them to act in a way that meets business objectives. The theory is that, while cash is nice, and usually needed, the participant feels more “rewarded” when they receive something they have long wanted or may not have acquired otherwise, and it creates a more meaningful, positive, memorable experience.
How are you getting your employees excited about possibilities and motivating them to act in a way that meets the organization’s business objectives? Contact us today so we can help you and your organization!

Employees Are Being Ignored
Employees are being ignored – and it’s tanking their performance.
Employee productivity is an ongoing concern for organizations around the world. Managers, CEOs, and HR executives are constantly looking for ways and means of driving effective performance while improving levels of engagement. You can invest in all the expensive and complex schemes you like and update each and every workplace process, but before you get carried away, you should ask one simple question: how much attention are you really paying to your employees?
We spend a great deal of our time at work. It forms a great deal of our identity and, for most of us, we genuinely care about the work we do and how we do it. For reasons such as these, it’s difficult and demoralizing when we feel we’re being ignored at work. When our efforts aren’t being acknowledged or appreciated, it can be detrimental in terms of morale, which has a huge impact on a company’s bottom line.
Contact us today so we can help you keep the spirit of recognition alive!
