What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, Employee Recognition Program? The company-wide e-mail you sent out praising your top sales team? A recent holiday party? A not-so-exactly-current “Employee of the Month” plaque?Or is it more along the lines of “That management tool that I probably should use….” And then, the more “important” aspects of running a business take over: responding to client requests, making sure the product ships on time, checking in on the most recent data migration.

It’s a cloud that can only be seen and not grasped! No leader can dictate employees to maintain a prosperous work culture. They can, however, influence it!

Managers. They crunch numbers. They settle differences. They ensure quality, productivity and progress. They motivate. But, who is motivating them? It’s this last question that really gets us. Too often we see managers and supervisors overlooked in incentive and recognition strategy. Big mistake.

I am pleased to say that social recognition not only fits with lots of the things I’m working on currently, and more generally where I believe HR functions and practitioners need to work towards, it also excites me as an HR guy.

It’s natural for team managers to want to recognize and reward employees when they achieve success. Companies that provide generous employee recognition have a 31% lower voluntary turnover rate than companies that don’t, according to a study by Bersin and Associates. Moreover, other studies have indicated thatemployees who are recognized for good behavior or performance are more likely to repeat those behavior and actions, and that in the long run will help build a stronger business.
