Occasional Recognition Initiatives
Why not take advantage of customizing recognition cards to carry out temporary but engaging initiatives? For example:
Conduct an initiative during festive periods (Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, Employee Appreciation Day, April Fools, etc.).
Hold a week or a month of recognition where each person must pass on a recognition to another employee after receiving one, until each colleague is recognized by the end of the week. In larger organizations, this could be segmented by team or department.
Organizing an internal contest on specific cards (e.g., during a particular themed month, employees who use a specific recognition card have the chance to win a prize worth XYZ).
You could even make it a tradition and repeat the process every year or at a given frequency.
In short, creativity can be unleashed in all directions, as long as it remains simple and friendly!
Explaining the Impact of Recognition
Although it may seem obvious, it is important to remind employees of the impact of recognition. Seeing that our efforts and presence are appreciated and recognized can make all the difference in an employee's mood and motivation.
With Amélio, the praise sent gain even more significance and impact, notably thanks to:
👥 Notifications sent to managers: they gain better visibility on each individual's achievements and positive actions.
🤝 Exchange and reinforcement: depending on the settings, employees will also be notified and can interact on the recognitions sent and enhance them.
💬 The writings remain: employees can and often will revisit a received recognition multiple times to get a motivational boost and lift their spirits.
Talking about the Recognition module
Whether it's during regular team meetings or presentations of the results of your engagement efforts, track the usage of the module.
Not only can this stimulate participation in the module, but it also demonstrates the importance placed on the overall employee experience, not just survey results.
Here are a few ideas:
Highlight employees who send the most recognitions via the module;
Present new customized cards;
Discuss module usage using statistics available on the page.
The more you talk about it, the more you'll create a real wave of recognition and transform your organizational culture. 💫
Valuing Small Victories
Add a touch of lightness and simplify the process by emphasizing the importance of celebrating everyday small victories rather than exclusively extraordinary feats.
These simple and regular gestures are often the most significant in boosting team morale and cultivating a positive work environment. Recognizing a colleague for their support in a difficult task or their positive attitude during a stressful meeting can have a huge impact on their motivation and engagement.
Ultimately, opportunities to highlight small daily actions are more frequent, and thus recognition of these can be as well!
