Employee recognition听is the timely, informal or formal acknowledgement of a person鈥檚 or team鈥檚 behavior, effort or performance which has clearly been beyond normal expectations. Recognition is an important engagement strategy among teams and听an easy way听to build trust.听, 鈥渙nly one in three workers in the U.S. strongly agree that they received recognition or praise for doing听good work听in the past seven days.... Further, employees who do not feel adequately recognized are twice as likely to say they鈥檒l quit in the next year.鈥澨
