Recognition (From Thank You to Thriving: Building a Recognition Driven Workplace)

In today’s dynamic work environments, recognition plays a crucial role in fostering employee engagement, satisfaction, and overall wellbeing.

Inadequate reward and recognition is a psychosocial hazard, and can cause psychological and physical harm. It means there is an imbalance between the effort that employees put in and the recognition or reward they receive. 

The primary aim of the facilitator’s guide is to support you in delivering a comprehensive and engaging session on the importance of recognition in the workplace. Through this 15-minute video and accompanying activities to include as needed, you will help attendees understand:

• The critical role recognition plays in employee engagement, satisfaction, and wellbeing.
• The potential risks and negative outcomes associated with a lack of recognition.
• Practical approaches to fostering a culture of appreciation and acknowledgement.
