Provide Motivational Employee Recognition
By Susan M. Heathfield,
Have you ever been the employee of the month? Do you have the best website according to a peer vote? Did you get that great parking spot next to the company door for a week or more? Did you win the teamwork award for the quarter, but you're not quite sure why? Chances are, you're a victim of employee recognition that was not motivational and most likely done wrong.
Maybe you felt good about the recognition, but coworkers are unlikely to share your joy. Those employees who are not nominated for recognition, and who don't understand the criteria for the bestowal of the reward, are generally negatively impacted by the employee recognition.
This is especially frustrating when the employee believes their contribution was equivalent or even better. Or, the employee recognition becomes a joke (must be your turn to be employee of the month) or a demotivator (I didn't get nominated so forget it when you need help again some time).
Voted honors are generally a popularity contest, especially when solid criteria for assessment have not been established. Or, if the time necessary to provide an educated vote is unavailable or uncompensated, few will bother to participate.
Motivational Employee Recognition Traps
You can avoid the employee recognition traps that:
-
single out one or a few employees who are mysteriously selected for the recognition;
-
sap the morale of the many who failed to win, place, or even show;
-
confuse people who meet the criteria for employee recognition yet were not selected; and
-
sought votes or other personalized, subjective criteria to determine winners.
Employee Recognition That Is Motivational and Rewarding
Employee recognition is one of the keys to successful employee motivation. Employee recognition follows trust as a factor in employee satisfaction with their supervisor and their work place.
Informal recognition, as simple sometimes as saying thank you and please, should be on every employee's mind every day. Supervisors and coworkers, especially, have the opportunity to praise and encourage best efforts daily. These tips will help you successfully provide more formal recognition that is valued, valuable, and motivational.
-
Determine what behaviors your work place wants to recognize. In a client company, a team decided to recognize team work, going the extra mile, and years of service.
-
Identify and communicate the criteria by which the proposed recipients will be judged or assessed, so people are clear about what they need to do to qualify for recognition.
-
Announce and communicate the recognition and the criteria that you have established for the awards.
-
Design and communicate the process by which employees will be selected for recognition so that all employees clearly understand the selection process.
-
Allow time for people to qualify for the recognition.
-
Every entry that qualifies for the recognition should receive the recognition.
-
If financial constraints are an issue, either present recognition amounts you can afford. Or, announce all eligible employees, publicly praise them for their contribution, and then, place all names in a drawing to select the lucky winner.
-
Magnify the value of the recognition by these methods: name the employees publicly, place employee names in the newsletter, send out a company-wide email announcement, and so on.
Is it ever okay to nominate people or projects and just vote? In my book, only for trivial, fun events and prizes. Nothing of significance should ever be treated as a popularity contest. An example? One client company, in a clean room setting, has groups of employees who decorate external windows surrounding the manufacturing area each holiday season. All employees vote for their favorite window and a nominal gift goes to the teams that decorated the top three windows.
Effective, fair, employee recognition is motivational for both the employees receiving recognition and their coworkers - done correctly.

Five Factors Every Employee Wants From Work
By Susan M. Heathfield
What do employees want from work?
There are five factors that must be present in your workplace for your employees to be happy and motivated at work. Your employees need respect, to be members of the in-crowd, to impact decision making about their jobs, to have the opportunity to grow and develop, and access to reasonable leadership. The following describe what employees want from work
-
Respect is the fundamental right of every employee in every workplace. If people feel as if they are treated with respect, they usually respond with respect and dignified actions. Part of respect is praise and feedback so people know how they are doing at work.
-
Employees want to feel as if they are members of the in-crowd. This means that they know and have access to information as quickly as anyone else in your workplace.
-
Employees want to learn new skills, develop their capabilities, and grow their knowledge and careers. Making developmental opportunities available to each employee demonstrates your commitment to helping them develop their careers. They appreciate this.
-
Employees want to have an impact on decisions that are made about their jobs. Employee involvement and employee empowerment help to create engaged employees willing to put forth their discretionary energy for the business.
-
Employees do want leadership. They want a sense of being on the right track, going somewhere that has been defined and is important. They like being part of something bigger than themselves. Employees like to know that someone, who is trustworthy, is in charge.
If these five factors existed in ever workplace, productivity, motivation, and happiness would soar.
