Recognizing employee performance is THE BEST way a company can increase productivity, reduce absences, and improve workforce engagement and retention. The results will be dramatic. 

Employee recognition programs, once considered a “nice” but non-essential component of human resources, have changed dramatically over the last several years. This shift parallels a growing understanding of the importance of retaining top-performing employees and re-engineering employee recognition as a core business function.

As much as we want to believe our employees’ energy levels and engagement shoot back up to 100 percent after the holidays each new year, the truth is motivation is not automatic. Employees still need to be motivated to be at their most productive, and it falls on you to get them inspired for the new year and every day to follow. Although there are plenty of managers out there who believe motivation requires hand-holding or flashy gestures, there are many ways to motivate your employees without taking too much of your time and theirs. Here are a few simple examples of employee incentives that can keep your team focused and motivated in the new year and beyond.

This holiday season is going to be much different than in years past.

Instead, families will be spending time with their immediate families at home, shop online, and have virtual holiday parties.

The holiday season is here. It is an exciting time for many, but it can also be very stressful. This is true under normal circumstances. However, the holiday season is looking a little different this year. Businesses wonder how the pandemic will affect their holiday celebrations both in and out of the office.

That is why finding a way to give back with, to, and for your employees is more important than ever this year.
