This shift parallels a growing understanding of the importance of retaining top-performing employees and re-engineering employee recognition as a core business function.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s behind this change? Numerous studies demonstrate \u201cthat when companies include employee recognition as a line-item, <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?http:\/\/www.benefitnews.com\/opinion\/6-employee-recognition-trends-to-pay-attention-to-in-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">employee behavior increases<\/a> across engagement, productivity, retention, customer service, and morale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What trends have emerged in the recent past and what do they tell us about how employee recognition programs will be defined in 2017 and beyond? Here\u2019s a look at how thinking has changed and the implications it has for your business today:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Employee recognition is being integrated into human capital management strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a new strategic value being placed on not just motivating the team, but discerning more precisely the types of behavior that translate into business success. Increasingly, recognition programs are seen as valuable coaching opportunities that reinforce desired employee behaviors \u2014 which can result into more effective sales, enhanced customer experiences and longer-lasting customer loyalty.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Employee recognition takes place on a continuous basis, not once a quarter or at the end of the year<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In past years, many businesses hosted an annual employee recognition day, in which prizes were handed out for individual achievements. Over time, thinking has evolved into a prevailing sense that <em>frequent<\/em> employee recognition is a much more effective tool for reinforcing the behaviors businesses desire. Consistent praise has a more beneficial effect than intermittent recognition.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Peer-to-peer recognition is on the rise<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Employees value praise from managers and others high up in the organization, but they greatly appreciate peer recognition as well. Social media can serve as a useful resource for employees to recognize one another\u2019s efforts (status updates on LinkedIn and Facebook, for example, where people can leave comments and words of praise). Peer recognition also leads to a stronger sense of being part of a hard-working and high-achieving team.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. New talent looks for cultures of recognition<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the red-hot competition for qualified new hires, it\u2019s becoming clear that jobseekers respond favorably to businesses that actively promote a culture of recognition. Businesses with cultures that \u201cclearly value innovation, people development and strategic thinking <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/5-key-employee-recognition-trends-2016-rob-peters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">attract higher quality employees<\/a>,\u201d notes business author Rob Peters. \u201cIntelligent organizations utilize recognition as a way to regularly advance the aspects that make up a high performing culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Recognition is becoming more specific and personal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Handing out generic-sounding awards misses the mark when it comes to motivating employees to higher levels of excellence. If the <em>reason <\/em>behind recognition is vague or ambiguous, the objective of encouraging similar behavior among fellow employees gets lost. People want to know specifically the types of positive behavior their employers value. Rather than handing out a one-size-fits-all employee of the month award, \u201cgiving a more specific reward for <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2015\/07\/building-employee-recognition-program.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">providing legendary customer service<\/a> makes more sense,\u201d contends marketing expert Amy Blackburn. \u201cOther employees, upon seeing such recognition, may want to rise to the occasion, too, and provide excellent customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Employee recognition programs play up the \u201cfun\u201d angle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recognizing employees for individual or team achievements shouldn\u2019t be a staid or solemn affair. The goal is advancing employee engagement, which is far more likely to come about as a result of informal and upbeat ways of recognizing outstanding on-the-job behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>According to information from Officevibe, businesses with \u201ceffective recognition programs have a <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?http:\/\/recruiterbox.com\/blog\/11-surprising-statistics-employee-recognition-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">31 percent lower voluntary turnover<\/a> than organizations with ineffective recognition programs.\u201d This, in itself, is a compelling reason to find out more about trends in employee recognition programs and see how you can incorporate those trends into your own efforts to salute hard-working and dedicated employees.<\/p>\n<p>Bron: klik <a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?http:\/\/hrtrendinstitute.com\/2016\/12\/12\/trends-employee-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hier<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Post van Julie Feece, VP North America Marketing for RPG Card Services op HR trendinstitute.com.
