Employee Recognition Could Improve in a Recession

This is so true!! Our recognition program used to be completely monetary driven but our retention was actually getting worse. Once we started using a simple employee recognition tool, it was amazing how much people used it. The biggest surprise was how much employee-to-employee recognition happened. We didn't expect that as we were really looking for a tool for managers to recognize their team members. I'd say 70% of the Kudos sent now are between fellow employees and 30% from managers. Sorry, "Kudos" is the name of the program we use, I can't take credit for that term! (www.kudosnow.com is the site)

This is an important part of retention. Praise is always desired, but it's so much better to have a CEO who is passionate about providing support to employees, as I had at Rubicon Consulting. I hope these types of actions and programs increase.
