According to recent insights from Gallup and Workhuman, only one in four employees strongly agree they feel connected to their culture, and only about one in three strongly agree they belong at their organization.
The concept of recognition in the workplace isn't a new one.
But, what we all understand to be "good" recognition - the type that's going to create addictiveness for employees and managers that will better engagement, wellbeing, retention and many aspects of work-life - can be very different.
With a $16 million dollar saving for a 10k-person company on an annual basis at stake, this one might just be worth getting right...!
Nuances around the amount of recognition – how it’s delivered, and what is even being recognized (let alone notions of authenticity, embeddedness, individualization, and equity,) may appear on the surface to pale into insignificance when we look at other areas of HR that are in the limelight today. However, there is no disputing the recurrent research outcomes that tell us that if we invest in our people, they perform better and they’re more likely to stick around. Less drifting employees, whether physically or emotionally, can only be good for business.
Workhuman and Gallup recently partnered to undertake a research project to study thousands of employees across the US, UK and Ireland to try and dig into these nuances and how recognition can be leveraged successfully to mitigate the trends of lack of cultural connection or organizational belonging that are leading to waves of discontentment and even resignations.
